Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
Thanks for the tips, I'll deff keep those in mind. I'm going to drop some notes here from my analysis today, for posterity. Here are my notes on decoding Botley's raw IR signals so far: Anatomy of a single burst of data: SS MMMMMMM S M SS M SS M SS M SS M SS M SS M SS M S M S M S M S M S M S M S M S...

Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
Assuming the above interpretation is correct, I wrote this Jupyter Notebook that accepts an AnalysIR session history and parses all of the bursts into HEX values. It seems like I'm getting believable results. I'll explore further tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help!- Sat Mar 26, 2022 8:59 pm

Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
...header is just the mark and each bit starts with a space followed by a constant width mark... If I'm interpreting this correctly, then the first Space + Mark after the header should be the first bit like so: 2022-03-26_13-39-14.png If that's correct, the first burst from "sound_L-O" is...

Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
Thanks! I've added the .ini and it is decoding the first part of the signals.
How do I manually add the first bit? Is it the one in the gray gap between purple and white?

Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
FYI, I just purchased the SendIR module, I think it will make testing much easier.
I also desoldered the IR RX from a spare robot board and have used that to record more signals. The carrier seems to be keeping in the 32610 - 39060 range so perhaps we can assume it is a 38000 carrier?

Re: Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
Thanks for your support! Yes, I am trying to be as detailed as possible since you don't have access to the hardware and it's a unique setup. Sorry in advance If I get too verbose! - Yeah, I noticed the carrier freq is inconsistent. I've tried blocking ambient light with a black hoodie but it is stil...

Help decoding unique protocol of a toy robot
Hello! My goal: Write a python library which allows me to control a toy robot that uses a unique IR protocol. I have searched extensively but no one else on the internet seems to have attempted to decode this toy's signals. It's called Botley and it aims to teach kids some programming fundamentals i...
