Idea: Game vault

[BGA]

How about having an App in your Phone with the code of all your games and use your phone to sync them with your blinks? (In case you don’t have IR, there are USBC adapters for 10$)

The idea is nice, but the implementation will not be trivial:

What is the protocol for IR messages?

Ok, I see the docs for the android IR blaster. It looks like this is meant for transmitting to TVs and stuff like that using a modulated carrier in the kilohertz range. Blinks talk to each other using carefully spaced, very short (<10μs) flashes. These are very different protocols! Here is an example of a Blink 2-byte IR packet transmission… [Sampe 2-byte IR data packet with timing] Note that the pulses are solid on time for the transmitting IR LED, no carrier. The timing must be +/-10% or t…
