A simple nyquist plugin for audacity to automagically convert a recorded IR signal through a dual led jack IR Transceiver into a playable one.

It can convert a recorded IR signal (using this method http://jumpjack.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/remote-control-2) into a playable IR signal in just one click, by automating the manual procedure described here: http://jumpjack.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/remote-control-3-editing-waveform.

Download the "[IR]Converter.ny" file and just move it into the "Plug-Ins" folder, in the Audacity installation dir.

1. Start Audacity
2. Plug your (trans)receiver into MICROPHONE input of your sound card
3. Place your remote in front of the LEDs
4. Start recording: stereo track, 44100 Hz, 16 or 32 bit.
5. Press a button on remote
6. Stop recording
7. Open Audacity "Effect" menu and select "[IR] Converter"
8. Select the channel (Left or Right) in which the square wave has been stored, press OK
9. Plug your transmitter (or transreceiver) into AUDIO-OUT, point it to your remote controllable device and play the converted signal!

• The input signal MUST be stereo to generate a working IR signal!
• It may be necessary to ZOOM a lot into the waveform, both vertically and horizontally, to see the square waves, as the signal is very short (few milliseconds), and probably quite low.

v0.1:

• initial release

v0.2:

• code improvement
• silence (0 amplitude) bug fixed
