| + | ==== Technical Overview of the Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | All communication with the IR Transceiver is initialized by the host computer over USB. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here's what happens when you want to transmit an IR signal with the Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver: | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. Tell LIRC / WinLIRC I want to transmit the 'MUTE' code | ||
| + | 1. LIRC / WinLIRC looks up 'MUTE' and turns that code into a series of pulses (IR on) and spaces (no IR) | ||
| + | 1. LIRC / WinLIRC talks to the Iguanaworks Daemon (igdaemon) and tells it that it wants to transmit a series of pulses and spaces. | ||
| + | 1. Igdaemon converts that series of pulses and spaces into a compressed transmit sequence our devices understands (see [[:hwProtocol|hwProtocol]]) | ||
| + | 1. Igdaemon sends transmit sequence to Iguanaworks IR Transceiver over USB | ||
| + | 1. Firmware on Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver receives command and issues acknowledgement over USB. | ||
| + | 1. Firmware on Iguanaworks processes command and transmits IR in specified sequence. Device is blocking while transmitting. | ||
| + | 1. Once device finishes IR Transmission, it can process further commands, etc. | ||
