I heard that Teddy uses a similar coding that is used for most of the
TV remote IR units. I've never verified this, however, it stands to
reason that this may be true. The IR chips are readily available for
pennies and won't have required a "new wheel to be invented".
Why do you ask? Are you trying to interface with Teddy or want to
know for another project? If it's for another project, try to use
the IR chips yourself.
