NRF52832: IR transmitter library for transmitting IR HEX codes.

[saman_naz]

Hi everyone, 

I am new to nrf community. Currently, I am trying to develop an IR transmitter on NRF52832 DK which transmits HEX codes for IR (not raw data). I am unable to find any related documentation, example or library for the purpose. Can anyone help me out with this?  

I am using is Segger Embedded Studio for development.

Are you familiar with any other microcontroller(s) ?

What, exactly, do you mean by that?

• like a TV remote control?
• IRDA SIR?
• other ... ?

Yes, I have worked on Arduino, Node MCU and STM previously. I have implemented an IR transceiver for AC using ESP8266.

Now I need to implement the same on NRF5, IR transmitter in specific.

You mean a remote control for an Air Conditioning unit?

The nRF52 doesn't have any specific hardware for that - so you'd have to bit-bang it.

Did you bit-bang it, or does the ESP have specific hardware for that?

If you've bit-banged it, doing that on an nRF should be very similar ...

Yes, a remote control for Air Conditioning Unit. 

ESP does not have any specific hardware for that. We attached an IR transceiver to a digitial pin. But, there were libraries available for ESP8266 for sending and receiving/decoding IR hex codes. 

In NRF, I am looking for some similar library that helps to receive/decode and transmit IR hex codes for AC.
