Raspberry Pi to blast 455 kHz carrier?

[Software]

Hi

I have a remote control for a heating system with a carrier frequency of 455 kHz (I actually measured approximately 480 kHz; likely my measurement is not accurate).

Should it be possible to blast such a high carrier frequency signal using a Raspberry Pi and lirc? Or if I write a dedicated app that uses the hardware PWM on GPIO18?

Best regards

A

PS: I will post the lirc conf file once fully tested

You should probably ask somewhere where RPi hardware experts hang out.

I do not claim to have an answer, but I have an opinion: Having an OS
like Linux generate the fine-grained timing, also if you manage to use
hardware PWM. Using a dedicated processor for generating the timing,
either over USB or a piggyback thing like

Please let us know what you come up with.
