Guy's i'm looking at my renishaw probes , i'm not sure if i am seeing this correctly but apart from decoding the stream , i'm seeing when not touching the probe emits a signal at about 150khz. When it senses touch it goes up to 160khz. but at the moment i'm not sure , as the only ir detectors i have works at 38k i'm using an arduino for quickness , although i would be using a stm32 once iv'e figured it all out https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/IR-RemoteControl
