There's some great information in those, but I'm not sure they'll work. Namely, I'm not trying to run a continuous serial link or anything complicated, but it does need to be two ways.
I've slimmed up the hardware/firmware to show where I'm coming from:
Those devices each have an IR LED and an IR receiver.
The LED is on Digital Pin 3
The Receiver is on Digital pin 11
(IR LED's seem to need to be on Pin 3 on an Uno for most IR Libraries)
Here's a code snippet for what I'm working with:
//Some of these are redundant, but I'll cull that later, I guess
#include "IRLib2.h"
#include <IRLibSendBase.h>
#include <IRLibRecvPCI.h>
#include "IRLibRecv.h"
#include <IRLib_HashRaw.h>
#include <IRLibCombo.h>
// IR System Config
const int infraredRecieverPin = 11; // Signal Pin of IR receiver to Arduino Digital Pin 11
IRrecv irrecv(infraredRecieverPin); // create instance of 'irrecv'
IRsendRaw irsend;
IRdecode infraredResults; // create instance of 'handle_results'
//This is the Package, it seems to behave better when its bigger
//So I made it bigger for now
#define RAW_DATA_LEN 100
uint16_t rawData[RAW_DATA_LEN]={
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49,
50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59,
60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69,
70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79,
80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89,
90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99,
100};
void setup()
{
// Initiate Communcation with Bluetooth card and Debug device
Serial.begin(9600);
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
Serial.println("Starting Up!");
}
void loop()
{
//////////////////////////
///// SENDING /////
/////////////////////////
if (Serial.read() != -1)
{
//send a code every time a character is received from the
// serial port. You could modify this sketch to send when you
// push a button connected to an digital input pin.
irsend.send(rawData,RAW_DATA_LEN,38);//Pass the buffer,length, optionally frequency
delay(1000);//Wait a moment before listening again
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Restart the receiver
Serial.println(F("Sent signal."));
}
//////////////////////////
///// RECEIVING /////
/////////////////////////
if (irrecv.getResults())
{
Serial.println("Incoming IR: ");
for(bufIndex_t i=1;i<recvGlobal.recvLength;i++) {
Serial.print(recvGlobal.recvBuffer[i],DEC);
Serial.print(F(", "));
if( (i % 8)==0) Serial.print(F("\n\t"));
delay(100); //Slows down the print out, just in case there's buffer shenanigans
}
Serial.println("<END>");
irrecv.enableIRIn();
}
}
I tend to get radically different numbers than go in, sometimes getting one large number, rather than the set. I'm just trying to find a method to get consistently good IR transmissions.
