To follow up on this, the output is indeed inverted from what would be considred normal for IrDA SIR.

This makes IrDA reception difficult. avr(at)atmel.com wrote: "Hi Bob, The IRCOM module was not specifically developed to support IrDA tranceivers." I find that statement bizarre. Why would you use the IRCOM module anyplace else? "But this is easily accomplished by the invert functionality on the pins that is not overridden by either the USART or the IRCOM. To enable the inverted functionality of the pins, add: PORTE.PIN2CTRL = PORT_INVEN_bm; /* This will invert the RX input. */ PORTE.PIN3CTRL = PORT_INVEN_bm; /* This will invert the TX output to be active low. */" Note that you only want Tx inverted, not Rx, so just add the last one on PIN3, for a IrDA SIR transceiver. I had the wrong pin in my original code to try to get Tx inverted. I suggsted to avr(at)atmel.com that they document the required inversion. _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
