I tried deciphering the IR remote control signals as well, by
connecting a surplus receiver to one of my HC11's input capture pins.
Software stored timer values in  a list, producing the effect of
a digital oscilliscope.

Trusty calculator in hand, I then puzzled for several days over
the printouts. I found several "layers" of encoding as I went along.
I never did reach a point where I felt I knew enough to produce
an ad hoc data sheet, but I did learn more than is in the "zapper"
documentation.

My latest project, which is on a back burner due to schoolwork,
is the transmit portion. The hardware part has been prototyped, and
uses a PLL frequency multiplier which is locked to a reference
squarewave from the HC11.

Having a dedicated realtime processor with the I/O features of
the HC11 was enormously helpful, toward this end.
