As an update to my previous post, my IR setup is tested and working just fine. The library from Ken Shirriff’s blog worked great. I had to do some tweaking to get the Panasonic protocol working which took a bit of time because I had to go through all of the code to debug and find the problems, but it certainly paid off in the end. Range is currently limited (~10ft.) but I’m going to be adding a transistor to my final design so that I can boost output to the IR LED. Next step is to hook it up to my EEG so that I can turn my TV on/off by thought alone. Stay tuned, I should have a video of it ready any day now 
Cheers!
Hallo
I’ve strugled a lot to add the panasonic protocol, but I can’t get it working. Can you help me in anyway on how to do it, eventually send me your code?

Can you please post your code for panasonic support in Ken’s IRRemote library?
Yes, I will get to this very shortly. My father was ill in the hospital for the last month+ and just recently passed away so I have not been keeping up with the blog as of late, which is the reason for the lateness of my reply, but I absolutely plan to release this code. I’d post it right now, but the code is on one of my laptops that isn’t handy right now. I will leave a note to get to it in the next day or 2 so check back soon
Cheers!
update: code posted. Available here: http://killerprojects.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/ir-library-test-source-code/
Hi,
I updated the original library to work both with the Panasonic and the JVC protocol. I already made a pull request, but until he accept it (haven’t heard from him yet), the code can be found at my forked repository: https://github.com/TKJElectronics/Arduino-IRremote
