This project allows the user to use an inexpensive TV style IR remote control to send commands to an Icom radio using the Icom CI-V interface. The IR remote control must be configured for Philips RC5 remote control signals. A windows program allows the user to add, delete and edit the CI-V commands. There is a raw mode that allows a predefined serial stream to be sent to any RS-232 device. The experimenter can use the supplied firmware or develop their own firmware using the available ISP and JTAG connectors.

bulletThe product is an experimenter's project targeted to the amateur radio operator and shortwave/scanner listener.
bulletOne open collector 2N3904 is available for remote control.
bulletThe command sequence corresponding to a particular remote control button is stored in the processor's EEPROM.
bulletA windows program is available which allows the user to configure the EEPROM.
bulletThe processor flash memory can be updated using the self-contained boot loader and the windows configuration program. Updated application programs will be available for download from the web.
bulletNo JTAG or ISP connections are required when the demo control program is used. The program uses the self-programming feature of the Atmel AVR.
bulletThe windows program also provides a hex monitor for the CI-V bus.
bulletThe windows program is simply copied to the PC. There is no installation. The program does not make registry entries.
bulletThe configuration information in the processor's EEPROM can be uploaded/downloaded to/from a saved configuration file.
bulletThe IR receiver must be 36KHz for Philips RC5 decoding.

Please note that this project is a CI-V control system. It does not provide any analog features such as volume control. The volume of some Icom radios can be controlled using the CI-V bus, but most can not.
