I've done 40KHz from a 16F630. The PIC does the carrier frequency and modulation, and directly controls the IR LED from a port pin. You do have to be careful with cycles at that speed and when using the internal 4MHz oscillator. This is one module you definitely want to carefully craft in assembler, but I can promise you it's doable. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
