Use with AnalysIR
If you have purchased a copy of AnalysIR, you can also use KontrolIR with AnalysIR. AnalysIR adds the possibility to record signals along with carrier frequency. You can also clean recognised signals for better performance and test sending signals. Finally, you can export signals in IRremote format via Menu->File->Batch Export->IRremote (or IRLIB)
AnalysIR Firmware
- First request the AnalysIR firmware sketch from us by email, if you don't already have it.
- Make sure you have installed support for the ATmega328PB, into the Arduino IDE.
- Remove the batteries and Connect the Serial USB adapter to KontrolIR.
- Insert the USB cable into the PC running AnalysIR.
- Select the correct COM port number of the serial USB adapter, in the Arduino IDE
- Select clock speed of 16MHz for the AnalysIR firmware
- Compile the firmware
- Upload the firmware to the KontrolIR device
Follow these steps to get started with AnalysIR:
- Remove the batteries and Connect the Serial USB adapter to KontrolIR.
- Insert the USB cable into the PC running AnalysIR.
- Start AnalysIR, if not already running.
- Select the COM port number of the serial USB adapter from the drop-down at the bottom of the main window.
- Select KontrolIR from the source menu, in AnalysIR
- You are now ready to use KontrolIR as an IR source and emitter from AnalysIR.
- Refer to AnalysIR documentation on how to use AnalysIR.
If you order the IR receivers option when ordering KontroLIR, you can use the Rx & Tx features of AnalysIR. If not, you can only use the Tx features.
