Whew! Ok, that 'streaming' of the IR light from the remote contributed a little to it, so I fixed that wish a switch...case statement. I also shortened the time in which it lights the center LED and checks the IR detector. Now it's harder, and cooler, I have to admit! I'm going to try to post dome pics/videos (maybe some on YouTube) soon. But It's still a work-in-progress.
Here's the new code:
int btnPin = 2; // Digital 2 ; 'Toggle' Button
int irPin = 3; // Digital 3 ; IR Detector
int bryPin = 5; // Digital 5 ; Bottom Right Yellow LED
int trgPin = 6; // Digital 6 ; Top Right Green LED
int blgPin = 7; // Digital 7 ; Bottom Left Green LED
int tlyPin = 8; // Digital 8 ; Top Left Yellow LED
int clockPin = 13; // Digital 9 ; SH_CP on Shift Register
int latchPin = 4; // Digital 10 ; ST_CP on Shift Register
int dataPin = 12; // Digital 11 ; DATA on Shift register
int blPin = 10; // Digital (PWM) 9 ; Red RGB LED
int cdsPin = 2; // Analog 2 ; CdS Cell
int rdPin = 9; // Digital (PWM) 10 ; Blue RGB LED
int gnPin = 11; // Digital (PWM) 11 ; Green RGB LED
int irval = 1;
