Hello everybody !
  Just logged on to this fine BBS a few days ago. 
  And i found so many fine things, that I just had to upload
  something that *maybe* somebody else could use. So you will
  find IRCON.ZIP, which is a small application for the Phillips
  87C750 series of uPC. It interfaces to a Sharp infrared sensor
  that can receive Phillips RC5 IR control codes, and send it as a 
  string of bits to the uPC. The uPC then looks at the signal, decodes it
  and finaly toggles one of eight digital outputs. I also have a version
  that decodes the RC5 signal, and sends the Address and Command out
  on the Serial port (if interested, leave a note). Also available is
  a small PCB layout in BoardMaker format (45x65 mm) for the a
  "IR5 to Relay" construction. (Output driver for 8 relays, uses an
  ordinary Phillips RC5 remote control). Part of the decoding code
  is "Borrowed" from an article in Elector magazine.
