Intended final code

[georgev93]

Ideally, we'd want the code to look something like this:

// Modify this value!
#define CODE    00100010    // Address to transmit out

#define PREAMBLE 000100111000100111

void setup() {
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
output(PREAMBLE);
output(CODE);
delay(some_amount);
}

If we can abstract away anything that makes this Arduino-specific (clock speed, pin-setting function), this will be a very easy port to PIC

So for the board, I am guessing I choose the cheapest option on dirty for each drop down. What's the pic programming software called?

[georgev93]

Yep, cheapest options. You can pick from many free colors as well.

The software is "MPLAB X". It will prompt you at the end that you need to download compilers separately. Since this is an 8-bit microcontroller, you'll need to download the "XC8" compiler

Aside from what the pic actually decides to out put in terms of tmr2 period, this looks pretty good to me. I left the clock at 8mhz but may try bumping that up at a later time just to see what breaks.
