EV1527 RF Decoder Library for AVR

A robust and efficient library for decoding EV1527 RF remote control signals using AVR microcontrollers. This library accurately decodes the transmitted 24-bit frame from common wireless remote transmitters.

Overview

The EV1527 encoder is widely used in low-cost wireless remote control systems such as car alarms, door openers, and lighting control. It transmits a 24-bit serial code through ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation, typically at 433 MHz.

Each frame includes:

  • 20-bit address field → Unique transmitter identification
  • 4-bit data field → Key or command code

This library is designed to receive and decode that 24-bit frame precisely using:

  • External interrupt (INT0) for signal edge detection
  • Timer1 for accurate pulse width measurement

Typical Use Cases

  • Wireless door lock systems
  • Smart home remote control receivers
  • RF relay modules (433 MHz)
  • Automotive keyless entry

How It Works

The library implements a state machine inside the INT0 interrupt service routine (ISR). It distinguishes between logic '0', logic '1', and sync pulses based on pulse width timing. After a valid frame is captured, the address and data (key) are stored for user access.

🔗 Resources

Here you'll find a collection of useful links and videos related to the topic of AVR microcontrollers.

Tip

The resources are detailed in the sections below.
To access any of them, simply click on the corresponding blue link.

  • This section provides a detailed description of all functions defined in the ev1527.h and ev1527.c files. These APIs are responsible for decoding the EV1527 RF remote control protocol using an AVR microcontroller. The library handles signal capture via external interrupts and precise pulse timing through Timer1 to extract the 24-bit EV1527 frame (20-bit address + 4-bit data). It offers easy-to-use initialization and deinitialization functions, along with status flags and decoded data access through a structured data type.

  • This repository contains comprehensive resources for AVR microcontrollers, including hardware schematics, software libraries, and educational projects.

💻 How to Use Git and GitHub

To access the repository files and save them on your computer, there are two methods available:

  1. Using Git Bash and Cloning the Repository

    • This method is more suitable for advanced users and those familiar with command-line tools.
    • By using this method, you can easily receive updates for the repository.
  2. Downloading the Repository as a ZIP file

    • This method is simpler and suitable for users who are not comfortable with command-line tools.
    • Note that with this method, you will not automatically receive updates for the repository and will need to manually download any new updates.

Clone using the URL.

First, open Git Bash :

  • Open the folder in File Explorer where you want the library to be stored.
  • Right-click inside the folder and select the option "Open Git Bash here" to open Git Bash in that directory.

open Git Bash

Note

If you do not see the "Open Git Bash here" option, it means that Git is not installed on your system.
You can download and install Git from this link.
For a tutorial on how to install and use Git, check out this video.

  • Once Git Bash is open, run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/aKaReZa75/AVR_ev1527.git
  • You can copy the above command by either:
  • Clicking on the Copy button on the right of the command.
  • Or select the command text manually and press Ctrl + C to copy.
  • To paste the command into your Git Bash terminal, use Shift + Insert.

Clone the Repository

  • Then, press Enter to start the cloning operation and wait for the success message to appear.

Open the Library File

Important

Please keep in mind that the numbers displayed in the image might vary when you perform the same actions.
This is because repositories are continuously being updated and expanded. Nevertheless, the overall process remains unchanged.

Note

Advantage of Cloning the Repository:

  • Receiving Updates: By cloning the repository, you can easily and automatically receive new updates.
  • Version Control: Using Git allows you to track changes and revert to previous versions.
  • Team Collaboration: If you are working on a project with a team, you can easily sync changes from team members and collaborate more efficiently.

Download Zip

If you prefer not to use Git Bash or the command line, you can download the repository directly from GitHub as a ZIP file.
