Actually, i did not test the hardware for a value, i used the timer to count the actual bit period, In order not to take 7 days for decoding

lol

and yes it worked on proteus, i enter a stream of bits through RB0, and it decoded it perfectly.
Another thing, i also tried to output the calculated period through my pic, and the output was very close to the value it was supposed to be.. so the problem is not there..

I feel the problem could be in some floating input, noise, or something related to grounding the unused pins... i have no idea in that area

bcuz it's now giving out the correct commands, like 20% of the time..

should the receiver be directly inserted into the PIC input ?

thanks for your time

Control this!!

yes.. directly connect the receiver to PIC pin.. controller pins are not big problem if not used.. Technically there should not be any problem in circuit if the connections are firm and tight.. so check for loose solder.
I am sure it will work..

best of luck..
will wait for your PIC library..
coz soon i am going to shift this project to PIC with USB support onchip.. i am reading about writing device drivers as soon as i finish learning that. i will make this project USB ready!

IT WORKED !

.. Thanks a lot ajay !

But a weird thing is that in the case of pressing the button to Increase the volume, it is doing MUTE... and it's definitely not a code error, or remote problem... could it be bcuz i have the Windows Media player 9 ??

Another thing is that the USB to RS232 cable didnt work ..
ive installed it, and when i open the exe file, there's no ports to choose from..
any ideas ?

PS: will give the code when i finish cleaning up useless commands . cuz its DAMN LONG

Control this!!

i know its gonna work

just the thing is.. now we need to develop a new application in VB which works only for USB.. hope you are getting me.. only you can do that coz you know how to make it work using windrive.
If you need my help then tell me.. or tell me what should i download to understand this thing.. gimme the link..

and.. my code uses shortcuts for only WPM11 not 9

better now you upgrade your player to version 9

coz its much much better.... in looks and functions

PS: my asm does not have any useless commands i think... are you using my asm code?
