Error while using the IR library

Projects Programming

Hi.

While i am running this simple code on my arduino IDE 1.0.5:

#include <IRremote.h>

int IRpin = 11;
IRrecv irrecv(IRpin);
decode_results results;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}

void loop() 
{
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) 
    {
      Serial.println(results.value, DEC); // Print the Serial 'results.value'
      irrecv.resume();   // Receive the next value
    }
  
  
}

I am getting this error :

Decode_IR:28: error: 'IRrecv' does not name a type
Decode_IR:29: error: 'decode_results' does not name a type
Decode_IR.ino: In function 'void setup()':
Decode_IR:34: error: 'irrecv' was not declared in this scope
Decode_IR.ino: In function 'void loop()':
Decode_IR:39: error: 'irrecv' was not declared in this scope
Decode_IR:39: error: 'results' was not declared in this scope

How can i fix it?
Thanks

Install the proper version of the library in the proper place.

The library is installed in the proper place.
at the libraries directory in the arduino folder.

The library is installed in the proper place.
at the libraries directory in the arduino folder.

  1. Prove it.
  2. Did you restart the IDE after installing the library?

Which in fact, is NOT the proper place. The proper place is in the libraries folder under your SKETCHBOOK folder.

My sketchbook folder is called Arduino. So, it's not really clear that this is, or is not, the correct place.

So is mine, but I don't call it "the Arduino" folder.

Your sketch compile without error on my IDE.
On my pc:
H:\Arduino_projects\LIBRARIES\IRremote
and not under H:\Arduino\arduino-IDE\libraries
as you have said @PaulS and @Arrch

Thank you very much !
you were very helpful to me!
I now can run the code without any errors.
