38khz IR Signal using ATTINY85

I am currently using the code available at ,

http://www.ernstc.dk/arduino/38khz_timer.htm

void setup() {
DDRB |= (1<<PB0); //Set pin PB0 as output
TCNT0 = 0;
TCCR0A=0;
TCCR0B=0;

TCCR0A |=(1<<COM0A0); //Timer0 in toggle mode Table 11-2
TCCR0A |=(1<<WGM01); //Start timer 1 in CTC mode Table 11.5
TCCR0B |= (1 << CS00);// Prescaler = 64 Table 11.6
OCR0A=105; //CTC Compare value

}

void loop()
{
}

Looks like this code constantly send a wave with a frequency of 38khz on PIN PB0 (physical Pin 5)

I would like to send the signal as ,
pulse 400 (on for say 400 u sec's)
space 500 (off for 500 u sec's)

I tried to use ,

digitalWrite(0, HIGH); and digitalWrite(0, LOW);
pinMode(0, OUTPUT); and pinMode(0, INPUT);
and
DDRB &= ~(1 << PB1); etc , but nothing is working.

I am very new to this field , any help is appreciated.

One way to do it is to connect your IR-diode between pin 3 and pin 0 (with a resitor in serie)
That way the diode is on only when pin 3 is LOW.
Don't expect too much precision, partly bescause you don't use a x-tal (asumption) and partly because there are some overhead in the loop.
BTW the code asumes the Attiny85 is running @ 8 MHZ.

/*
Anode (long leg connected) to 0
Cathode (short leg to 3 through resistor)
 */
void setup(){
  TCNT0 = 0;
  TCCR0A=0;
  TCCR0B=0;

  TCCR0A |=(1<<COM0A0); //Timer0 in toggle mode Table 11.2
  TCCR0A |=(1<<WGM01); //Start timer 0 in CTC mode Table 11.5
  TCCR0B |= (1 << CS00);// Prescaler Table 11.6
  OCR0A=105; //CTC Compare value 
  pinMode(0,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
}

void loop(){
  PORTB |=_BV(3);  //off
  delayMicroseconds(500); 
  PORTB &=~_BV(3);  //on
  delayMicroseconds(400);
}

Thank you for the reply.

Pin 0 is the reset pin , I connected through a receiver , but no data is being generated.

I am using ardunio with an IR Receiver (ISOP1738) to decode the IR data that is being sent by Attiny85. With this code changes I am not seeing any data coming to the IRReceiver.

When I change the code to

void loop(){
_delay_ms(3000);
PORTB |=_BV(0); //off
_delay_us(500);
PORTB &=~_BV(0); //on
_delay_us(400);
}

and if I obstruct the IR led with my hand or say paper some data is being generated. Looks like the IR led is sending the 38khz wave constantly and when I obstruct with my hand I could see some data.

Pin 0 is the reset pin

No, take a look at the pinout

       +-\/-+
 PB5  1|    |8   VCC
 PB3  2|    |7   PB2
 PB4  3|    |6   PB1
 GND  4|    |5   PB0
       +----+

If you connect the IR diode as I suggested the output will be like the picture from my logic analyzer.

I think it would be easyer to check the output if you use a longer delay, f.ex. 1 second on/off

Thank you Erni for testing this one and also for the gif file of the signal from your logic analyser.

You mention that ,
Anode (long leg connected) to 0
Cathode (short leg to 3 through resistor)

When you say 0 it is PB0 (physical pin 5) and 3 means PB3 (physical pin 2) right. Sorry for the basic questions.

Can you please clarify this.

When you say 0 it is PB0 (physical pin 5) and 3 means PB3 (physical pin 2) right. S

Yes that was what I meant.

Actually this might be easyer. This sketch will output on pin 0 (PB0), so you just connect your IR-led like the drawing.

Thank you very much Erni , it is working fine now.
