RMT NEC_TX_RX Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example uses the remote control (RMT) peripheral to transmit and receive codes for the NEC infrared remote protocol.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

• A development board with ESP32 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
• A USB cable for Power supply and programming

By default, this example runs a self test which assumes the TX pin (GPIO18) and RX pin (GPIO19) are connected together.

To disable self-test mode, comment out RMT_RX_SELF_TEST in infrared_nec_main.c, after which, you need to connect a IR transmitter and a receiver to GPIO18 and GPIO19.

The TX pin and RX pin can be modified in top of the main/infrared_nec_main.c file.

#define RMT_TX_GPIO_NUM  18     /*!< GPIO number for transmitter signal */
#define RMT_RX_GPIO_NUM  19     /*!< GPIO number for receiver */

Configure the Project

make menuconfig

• Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

make -j4 flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Troubleshooting

• Programming fail

  • Hardware connection is not correct: run idf.py monitor, and reboot your board to see if there is any output logs.
  • The baud rate for downloading is too high: lower your baud rate in the menuconfig menu, and try again.
