You are only reading one byte. The ircode variable then should be a byte. The actual value received will be printed. It's those values that you see printed that are the case values.

If you see "got code 0x14" in the serial monitor, then the case statement would read "case 0x14:".

ok so i just add those 2 chars to my case statement and it should work?

Good Captain the use of:-

byte ledOn = 'FC0300FF';

Will not work a byte is only 8 bits that is two hex digits. To get 0xFC0300FF into a variable you need either 4 bytes or 2 ints or 1 long int.

ok so how do i go about adding any functions with this ir code ? it seems as if everyone is saying something different

Well if you will cross post you will get what you deserve.  >

cross post ? and get what i deserve ?? ;D ;D ;D what are you talking about all im doing is askin for help if dont wanna help than dont reply  ;D ;D i dont know what crawled up your but today but i am just asking for help and i am even saying thank you to those that have helped so far so why dont you crawl back in your hole let others that wanna help do so . and like i said to those that have helped so far THANK YOU

He's not called Grumpy Mike for nothing.

You haven't really explained what you are trying to do. Receiving usable IR signals from a remote control is not a trivial task. It appears as though you are in way over your head.

lol all im trying to do is turn on and off an led using a small remote i have on hand . and i might b in over my head but thats never stopped me before   i have already made a small wifi car with the arduino and was thinking of adding a ir remote to mess around with in the house

@Mike.. haha, good catch.. don't mind me.. I don't think too much before I post, if you haven't noticed.

@ABC, there's nothing wrong with asking for help..... but when you ask in the same forum, in 4 different areas of the forum....  it's a bit annoying. Especially if I was to answer it here, then in another post (like Grumpy just did not too long ago)... we say basically the same thing.. you're just wasting peoples time now.

Well I don't understand.. if you can build a small wifi car with the Arduino.. how are you having problems with something semi-simple like this? Unless, of course.. you just used somebody elses setup, code.. etc..

But anyways.. you're almost there.. if you got the LED on.. then you're halfway there, try experimenting some.

well my wifi car is verry simple so as far as i can see this is a lil more complicated and for posting this 4 times i did no such thing i had forgot all about my other post and it was only 1 other post not 3. and there are still small things like moving the if statement out of the while that i still dont quite get. i will b the first to admit im not the smartest but i do learn quite fast.

[Reply #25 on:]

Maybe you're trying to do things backwards.... generally people work on all the examples provided... learning some of the C++ variables and such.

I don't see how this is more complicated... the library is handed to you, with examples.. lol all you do is plug in a receiver and open the serial monitor and you're already halfway done.

Maybe you should take a look at these... read THROUGH them.. they will explain alot of what you're missing... which is the basics.
