There are a couple different components to this project:
1) Create a system that reads in the inputs from the remote (that I am replacing with this)
2) Create a system that can transmit those signals (I started with a Arduino Pro)
3) Change it to work with the Particle Photon
4) Open up DL-44 blaster I bought online
5) Move from breadboard to PCB
6) Paint the DL-44 blaster to look more accurate
7) Enjoy a really cool and functional remote
1) Follow this tutorial I found that uses any Arduino:
http://www.righto.com/2009/09/arduino-universal-remote-record-and.html
Once the circuit is built, take the remote that you are trying to replace, open up the serial port and read in the values. Note all the values for the commands you want. It'll say whether or not it is Sony, NEC or whatever other ones there are.
2)
The Arduino code is attached below.
3)
In order for the IRremote.h file to work for the Particle Photon, the file needs to be slightly modified from the Arduino file. The code is found below.
4) I bought a toy blaster (in "fun" safety white and orange) online. The good thing is that the middle of it is almost all empty space which means that you don't have to be very careful about how you insert all your components.
5) I opened up the blaster and took out the components from there (I just cut out the small PCB in there and left the leads for the battery). Connect the positive lead to the Vin on the photon.

/*
* IRrecord: record and play back IR signals as a minimal
* An IR detector/demodulator must be connected to the input RECV_PIN.
* An IR LED must be connected to the output PWM pin 3.
* A button must be connected to the input BUTTON_PIN; this is the
* send button.
* A visible LED can be connected to STATUS_PIN to provide status.
*
* The logic is:
* If the button is pressed, send the IR code.
* If an IR code is received, record it.

/* Sharp and DISH support by Todd Treece ( http://unionbridge.org/design/ircommand )
The Dish send function needs to be repeated 4 times, and the Sharp function
has the necessary repeat built in because of the need to invert the signal.
Sharp protocol documentation:
http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/sharp.htm
Here are the LIRC files that I found that seem to match the remote codes
from the oscilloscope:
Sharp LCD TV:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/sharp/GA538WJSA
DISH NETWORK (echostar 301):
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/echostar/301_501_3100_5100_58xx_59xx
For the DISH codes, only send the last for characters of the hex.
i.e. use 0x1C10 instead of 0x0000000000001C10 which is listed in the
linked LIRC file.
