morris 08845cf669 feat(rmt): added a help function for allocating encoder memory
The encoder memory location should respect the RMT_MEM_ALLOC_CAPS,
which is affected by some Kconfig options, like ISR_IRAM_SAFE

IR NEC Encoding and Decoding Example

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

NEC is a common use IR protocol, this example creates a TX channel and sends out the IR NEC signals periodically. The signal is modulated with a 38KHz carrier. The example also creates an RX channel, to receive and parse the IR NEC signals into scan codes.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

  • A development board with supported SoC mentioned in the above Supported Targets table
  • An USB cable for power supply and programming
  • A 5mm infrared LED (e.g. IR333C) used to transmit encoded IR signals
  • An infrared receiver module (e.g. IRM-3638T), which integrates a demodulator and AGC circuit

The TX and RX GPIO number used by this example can be changed in the source file via EXAMPLE_IR_TX_GPIO_NUM and EXAMPLE_IR_RX_GPIO_NUM.

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

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

In the example's main loop, the RX channel waits for any NEC frames, if nothing received within 1 second, the TX channel will send out a predefined NEC frame (address=0x0440, command=0x3003).
