AlienAir Protocol
Unlike the PicooZ and other Silverlit products, the Flying Saucer uses an analog protocol. Since there is neither a channel identifier nor a checksum, you cannot operate more than one Flying Saucer in the same room. When the Saucer receives a signal, it starts calibrating its gyros. If the signals are longer than approx. 60ms apart from each other, the Saucer won’t accept any signal (the original remote has a gap of approx. 13ms between signals, so up to 25% packet loss are acceptable). The remote control sends 5 pulses for each frame, each pulse toggles the infrared LEDs with 39kHz for approx. 0.24ms. Control factors are determined by the pause between 2 pulses, the following control factors are available (in this order):
