Errata for IR Remote for the Boe-Bot v1.0
The remote that IR Remote with the Boe-Bot v1.0 supported is no longer available. The remote included in your kit is
the most similar one we could obtain without raising the price of the kit. Below is an updated Chapter 1, Activity #1
for use with the new remote. On page 2 are a few more updates to pages later in this text to make it compatible with
the new remote. Also on page 2 is an updated version of a subroutine that appears in many of the example programs.
It has a new feature that helps the example program filter out certain sources of infrared interference.
CHAPTER 1, ACTIVITY #1: CONFIGURING YOUR REMOTE
In this activity, you will program your universal remote so that it sends PWM messages to a television set using the
SONY protocol. In this case, the term "programming" means a sequence of key-presses on the remote that tells it to
send signals to a SONY TV.

How to Configure the Universal Remote to Send SONY TV Protocol Signals
These instructions are for the remote included in the IR Remote AppKit.
The instructions might tell you to test it on your TV, but if it's not a SONY, the test probably won't work. In the next
activity, you will test to make sure the code was correctly entered by verifying that the signals that the remote transmits
have the SONY TV protocol characteristics.

Don't worry about the warnings not to press the VCR , TV/VCR or CBL keys. The new remote doesn't have them.

Remove the battery compartment cover and determine how many and what kind of batteries to use (AA, AAA,
etc).
Load the battery compartment with new (or freshly charged rechargeable) batteries. Do not mix battery types.
Find the TV setup codes section in the instruction sheet/booklet. Here are some examples of titles for that
section: "Setup Codes for TV", "Setup Codes for Television", "TV Code List".
Find the code for SONY from the TV code list, and make a note of it.
Find the section that explains how to manually program a TV code into your remote. Here also, are examples
of titles for that section: "Programming Your Remote", "To Manually Program Your Remote Control",
"Programming for TV".
Follow the instructions in the manual programming section for entering the SONY TV code into your remote.
If you change the batteries in your remote, you will probably have to repeat the steps in this activity. Why? Because, when
you remove the batteries, the remote will probably forget that it was programmed to be a SONY TV controller.
Don't throw away the instruction sheet/booklet that comes with your remote! The batteries for these remotes might last
longer than your memory of the code and procedure for entering it. A sticker on the back of the remote with the code and
button sequence can also come in really handy.
Missing instruction booklets: If you want to try these activities with a remote you already own, you will probably need the
instruction booklet for that remote. If it has been misplaced or lost, there may be a copy published on the World Wide Web.
Inexpensive universal remotes can also be purchased from local department stores, and most include instruction booklets.
Check the package before you purchase a particular remote to make sure it can be configured to control a SONY TV. If the
packaging says something like, "compatible with most/all major brands...", it will most likely work with SONY TVs.
