help with ken shiriff's infrared remote library

Other Hardware Sensors

My project contains an obstacle detection circuit. I am building the circuit using ken shirriff's infrared library as he showed here. "Detecting an IR Beam Break with the Arduino IR Library". The original code by ken shirriff is posted below. The circuit is working perfectly when i connect the IR led to pin 3. But when i connect the IR led to pin 11 the IR led is not working. The only change i made to the code was change #define PIN_IR 3 to #define PIN_IR 11. If it is a silly mistake pls forgive me. :slight_smile:

#include <IRremote.h>
#define PIN_IR 3
#define PIN_DETECT 2
#define PIN_STATUS 13
IRsend irsend;
void setup()
{
pinMode(PIN_DETECT, INPUT);
pinMode(PIN_STATUS, OUTPUT);
irsend.enableIROut(38);
irsend.mark(0);
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(PIN_STATUS, !digitalRead(PIN_DETECT));
}

The IRRemote library only allows output on Pin 3:

void IRsend::mark(int time) {
  // Sends an IR mark for the specified number of microseconds.
  // The mark output is modulated at the PWM frequency.
  TCCR2A |= _BV(COM2B1); // Enable pin 3 PWM output
  delayMicroseconds(time);
}

If it did support other pins you would think there would be a function to set which pin to use.
