Could you provide a little bit more detail please.
For starters, what is the remote control for that you want to get the binary codes from? I'm looking for the brand and model number of the device, plus what type of device it is (eg, DVD player, VCR, etc).
With this info, I can probably tell you the binary signal without you needing to do anything further.
I'm curious though as to what you need the binary signal for? Once I know you're untimate goal I can probably tell you an easier way to accomplish it.
