Unusual IR signal

[Twigs]

Hello all, I am trying to utilise an IR protocal in an arduino project. The signal itself is taken from a 'battling drone' ie, a small drone taht has an inbuilt infrared laser to shoot down other compatible drones. I have captured the IR signal's below using both the Ken Shirriff libraries and blog posts/guides and also the 'Recording long IR Signals here on AnalysIR. What I am trying to do is build a target that I can attack with my drone and which will periodically shoot back.

Since I have a stressful job and two teenage kids I am having trouble trying to wrap my head around how I transfer the signals I have captured in to something I can 'ping' out. Could someone please tell me how I move the signals below in to something I can send since I don't know how I interept any required bit length information etc.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer

Yes indeed..a very unusual signal...it looks like it just repeats continuously with any pauses between signals( usually not the best approach for Ir remote control).

Anyways....I used AnalysIr to export his c code for IRremote...

Any number that is between 480 and 520 can be replaced by 500 for better performance. Any between 1020 and 980 can be replace with 1000.

IF the 38kHz carrier doens't work...try the other common frequencies of 36, 40, 56, 33, 30 in that order.
