Welcome!  Hope you'll be able to make it to a meeting when classes let
up.

Seconding Ben, look at the TVBGone source code.  It's all C, and very
accessible if you're familiar with AVR C programming.  It should be
pretty portable to other AVR chips.

You'll need to convert from that Pronto Hex format to the internal
format that TV-B-Gone uses.   Looks like http://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp2.htm
might be some help there.

Also, look at:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1209565937

That has links to an Arduino-based version.
