Peter,

What is lacking in your question is, compare and contrast LOL. Your gut feeling is correct, I know nothing about electronics. Over the past couple of years, that I have been delving into this, the accumulation of my knowledge can be summed up in, a capacitor is like a small battery; a resistor is like a filter, allowing specified amounts to get through; a transistor is like a one way sphincter, and an LED has to be protected with a resistor, otherwise it has a quick death . If you ask me anything about how to use these in a circuit, my answer is, DUH.

Now, that I have laid out my defense, I derived my concept from the examples, on the pbasic side, in the design and use of an IR led, and IR demodulator circuit for object detection. In that example, for firing the IR LED, the code uses a pulseout command which stipulates the use of 38Khz, or any other KHz value that you want to use. For the IR demodulator side, either input command can be used, or if you use the pulsin command, you DO NOT SPECFY a corresponding Khz value. That led me to believe that the demodulator itself was doing the synchronization. The only thing that was necessary was to get the value, which is presented in its complete size, not a bit at a time, and put it into a variable. This is the logic that I used to try and solve, incorrectly, the problem that was at hand.

I still have not given up on my project, even though I have had some major setbacks. I will probably turn out to be the oldest guy on this forum trying to learn something new. But, that is life. In regards to posts, I do not mind terse questions and answers, but I find no use in patronizing equivalence.  

Thanks for the interest.

 

Ray
