A Hewlett Packard Infrared Signal Decoder
Martin Hepperle
June 2015
Several Hewlett Packard pocket calculators are able to send printer output via Infra-Red (IR) signals to a small portable printer. They use an HP-specific transmission protocol which is also called “Red Eye”. This protocol is different from the better known IrDA protocol. This document gives a brief overview of the format and describes hard- and software to build a decoder system for this protocol.
This system allows receiving the “Red Eye” signals with a computer via a serial or an USB interface.
Lixie is an edge-lit acrylic display for any numeric information you can think of! Clocks, temperature displays, hit counters, and more. Always being a fan of the beautiful typography of a Nixie Tube, the Lixie is a modern spin!
The TAPR TICC is a two-channel timestamping counter with better than 60 picosecond resolution and less than 100 picosecond typical jitter. It has an Allan Deviation noise floor below 1x10-10 for a one second measurement.
Battery powered, single channel digital oscilloscope which sends its plots via bluetooth to an iOS (Android will be supported later) device for display.

White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond accuracy and picoseconds precision of synchronization for large distributed systems. It also allows for deterministic and reliable data delivery.
White Rabbit allows you to precision time-tag measured data and lets you trigger data taking in large installations while at the same time using the same network to transmit data.
sub-nanosecond synchronization
connecting thousands of nodes
typical distances of 10 km between nodes
Ethernet-based gigabit rate reliable data transfer
fully open hardware, firmware and software
multi-vendor commercially produced hardware
