My PIC-based TV-B-Gone (design attached)

[K-micaz]

Hi,
I'm french and I was searching for a TV-B-gone made with a PIC since a long time, so thanks you for it

Can you explain me what does we have to change in the program to run this TV-B-gone with EU codes ?

If I arrive to do this modification, I will made the layout and I'll post it here for the persons whose want to made it on a PCB ...

Thank you

Simply compare the PIC .h file with the official .h file. The differences should be obvious, and the modifications require using EU codes instead of banned codes.

Any possibility of getting the eagle schematic file of this design?

On another note, if the chip was upgraded to PIC24F16KA101, then it becomes possible to have both the European and banned codes, in their entirety.

And on a final note, I made the required changes to all of the code files, to support changing the code base from North American codes over to European codes. It is now as simple as commenting the very first line of main.h. Both firmware builds are included in the attached archive.

I no longer have Eagle installed, but I believe this is the file you requested. Let me know if it gives you problems and I'll figure it out.

That was exactly the file needed. Looks like you did some revisions some time after the actual release of the design.

I have a code base, that in combination with a 24F16KA101, would allow for both the North American code database, and the European code database to co-exist, and the method to run them, would also make use of the second button. The way it would work, is that one region would be the default one to run, when just the reset button is pressed, and running the other, is a matter of holding the stop button, while pushing reset, then releasing the stop button. (Pushing the stop button a second time, stops the sequence playback as usual.)

Hi, first of all, thank you for sharing your design!!
I was wondering if the code could be ported to another PIC more "affordable". I mean another pic not as new as this one that could be burned with a standard programmer..

Thanks!!

i have a working code for the pic18f2550 or similar that works with the internal oscillator and can send both the european and american code.
Contact me if you want it.

I’ve been reading it for a while and thanks for the post.
