Hello All,
I am new to the Arduino and this is one of my first more advanced sketches. Sorry if this is to much information. Any help is appreciated, I just want to learn!
The Goal of Project:
-To emulate a standing fan using a remote control. The Remote control sends power on signal to IR receiver and turns fan on. Another button from the controller makes the fan rotate\sweep from side to side, couple more buttons change the speed of the rotation\sweep.
This is what i'm currently having problems with. Right when everything is connected up my stepper motor steps 200 rotations clockwise and then goes the other way 200 steps counter-clockwise which rotates\sweeps the DC fan back and forth, works pretty good! Pressing volume up and down changes the speeds of the sweeps. What i'm currently having issues is with sometimes i get 5-6 repeat signals from the IR Remote: FFFFFFFF <-- how do I avoid these repeat signals. Serial Prints for Debugging Purposes.
