Enter the Project Commander! This universal remote works with virtually any IR remote. It "learns" by sampling an IR signal coming from any remote by using the built in 10 bit SAR A/D. These IR settings are then stored internally in the Virtual EEPROM.

Enter the Project Commander! This universal remote works with
virtually any IR remote. It "learns" by sampling an IR signal
coming from any remote by using the built in 10 bit SAR A/D. These
IR settings are then stored internally in the Virtual EEPROM.
What's more, it is possible to add further capabilities to this
universal remote; it can be programmed to execute certain commands,
e.g., turn on the VCR, DVD, or TV at a specific time , by the means
of a real time clock. To conserve battery power, the Project
Commander goes into power save mode using the IDLE/HALT mode of the
COP8FLASH.
