codesend.cpp

/*
Usage: ./codesend decimalcode [protocol] [pulselength]
decimalcode - As decoded by RFSniffer
protocol    - According to rc-switch definitions
pulselength - pulselength in microseconds

 'codesend' hacked from 'send' by @justy
 
 - The provided rc_switch 'send' command uses the form systemCode, unitCode, command
   which is not suitable for our purposes.  Instead, we call 
   send(code, length); // where length is always 24 and code is simply the code
   we find using the RF_sniffer.ino Arduino sketch.

(Use RF_Sniffer.ino to check that RF signals are being produced by the RPi's transmitter 
or your remote control)
