Have an ongoing project and would like to use the numbers on the remote.
Not a problem with single entries -- But -- how do I go about the code for entering anything above "9" such as 10, 22, etc ?
any and all comments welcomed.
Most TV remotes have an Enter button and will accumulate digits until:
- You reach the maximum number of input digits.
- It has been several seconds since the last digit arrived.
- The Enter button was pressed.
Most receivers will also act on digits received with no Enter received.
So receive a digit, if no Enter then wait some time amount and act on it.
If another is received, restart the time limit, then act on two.
Same for three. If a 4th is received, roll the digits left and keep the last 3 received. Or 4.
My TV for example will accept 68-4, and then change channels after a time or after Enter.
(I'd have to look to see what happens if I enter xxx-x, or xx-xx as 69-4 and 58-6 are the highest in our area).
If Enter is received, then act on what is received, such as 2-2.
(Over the air TV, lots of stations with subchannels now).
First ... thanks for answering my question.
But .... neither of the 2 remotes that I am using have an "Enter" key or button. I have added the jpgs of the 2 remotes.
I think the TV remote would work as it does have the "enter" button and if the enter is not pressed it maintains the channel.
I really would like to use the numerical remote as this would allow more possible functions than 44
Again, thanks for answering.
Here is the mp3 IR remote and code.
Since it is inside the main loop which runs continuously, I think this is where the problem lies in obtaining the second number key entry.
Any and all comments welcomed.

Then use a combination of Method 1 and Method 2.
Thank you for responding to my question.
If I understand correctly, I need to create a wait-state for multiple inputs -- that will be new for me.
I think the path would be something like ... read value of switch case and store that, check to see if any other number entry has been pressed within specified time window, act on new value if 2 entries.
That will be a challenge for me, not having done this before.
In the meantime I will complete the single remote with the 44 buttons and have some fun with creating functions for those.
For one-digit or two-digit inputs:
If there is a digit waiting and it has been two seconds since the time recorded when the digit arrived, use the single digit.
If there is a digit waiting and a non-digit arrives, process the single digit and then the non-digit.
If a digit arrives and a digit is already waiting, use both immediately. If no digit is waiting, mark this digit as waiting and note the time.
