In light of the underwhelming lack of response to my LEGO IR post,
maybe I need to clarify a little:

The RCX tower and the LEGO remote control (#9738) both transmit a
38kHz carrier which is modulated at a 2400bps rate.  The encoding
is 8 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit, noninverted.  I've also
found Kekoa's RCX opcodes page.

What I would like is help in using a PIC (or a Stamp) to decode the
output of an IR receiver that is receiving opcodes from the LEGO
controller.  Lacking that, pointers to using a PIC for decoding TV
IR remotes would help.

Thanks,
 - Nick -
