I read this post some time ago but it only just rang a bell. One of the kids' toys - a Bob The Builder Scoop (the yellow excavator one) - has a small IR remote with only four buttons. The kids claim it doesn't always work correctly and I can't now find the toy to verify this but, anyway, I found the remote this evening, put new batteries in it and learned the buttons. IR reports Sony7 and the values seem different (by 1 OBC) from one button press to the next.

The buttons are arranged in a diamond pattern with a round button at top (presume Go), square bottom (Stop), left arrow on left and right on right:

Code: Select all

Mapped in the IR file as follows (learned each three times):

Code: Select all

Up    - top (round)
Down  - bottom (square)
Right - left
Left  - left

2     - top
8     - bottom
6     - right
4     - left

stop  - bottom
ffwd  - right
rew   - left
rec   - top
Not looking for any solutions (can't find the toy, might be long gone) but just wondered if it sheds any light on this protocol.
