Emulate Signal

CapibaraZero is able to emulate many protocols but also RAW signal that cannot be decoded by the capibaraZero.

Upload the signals that you want to emulate in your SD under /IR/signals

Requirements

• ESP32-S3
• IR trasmitter
• SD card

CapibaraZero's signal emulator supports also array of signals like the one above. It will sends all the signals in the array consecutively.

Notes

IR signals captured by the capibaraZero have all of this property even though they are not used.

Protocols that doesn't support one or more properties like RAW or Pulse Width/Distance have unused property set to 0.

If you are creating a signal it's better to not include unused properties.

IRDB

You can find capibaraZero's IRDB at the following link

Contributions are welcome! If you capture a signal that are not available in capibaraZero's IRDB, you can upload it under the IRDB github repository by opening a pull request after forked the repo and uploaded the IR file under the right category.

How to emulate an IR signal?

• Go to the IR section
• Select Emulate Signal
• Select file that you want to emulate
• The capibaraZero will transmit the signal through the IR emitter

If you have a list of signals the operation can take some times
