LED sign missing IR keyboard-possible to "decode" the protocol it uses?
 

Hey all,

I know it's a long-shot, but I picked up an LED sign (labelle
industries)at a garage sale that is programmed with an IR keyboard,
which is missing. Is it possible to somehow figure out a way to
program this thing? The IR decoder is a philips TDA3048. It does
work, as it is in "demo" mode when powered on.

ISTR there is a project to document every IR remote in the world, on Linux
boxes IIRC. Source Forge perhaps?

Does the sign also have a serial port (db9 or db25 connector)? Many
of them do.
If so, it's programmable from a PC.
I have source code for some limited control of an Alpha sign that's
probably similar.
