Im planning on a project utilizing the ir library but I was researching and it seems the mega2560 isn't directly compatible due to something with the timer 2 and different hardcoded pins
does a modded library exist that I can simply download, or do I need to modify the library file? Im good at arduino code sorta, so I probablly could but I don't know anything about the actual hardware or what to change
The Arduino pins corresponding to the various timers for Arduino and Mega are summarised in a table on my page about ATmega timers: Advanced Arduino: direct use of ATmega counter/timers
So if I substitute the uno pin for mega it will wori without code change because it is based on the timer mapping, correct?
Did you get anywhere with the Arduino Mega IR functions problem.
I have tried to get my Mega 2560 to do a simple read of a 38kHz IR detector and having tried a few pins, 11,10 and 47 have got unreliable results and most of it not decoding at all.
Some of the dumps sort of look promising -

One or two Sony were detected out of about 30 presses (I have just a shown some above to include a Sony that "worked"). I was using pin10 for the input.
Cheers, Rob
I ended up using an uno for the project, was just easier at the time
either way I found trying to receive raw data was always irregular but nec, sont and rc5 all work pretty well
Pin 9 on the Mega works, great link above! thanks
I tried to use pin no.2, 3 & 9 and <IRremote.h> library but there is some error
"int RECV_PIN = TKD2; // the pin the IR receiver is connected to
exit status 1
Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560."
Is the above error above due to Wrong Pin or Wrong Library.
