"Infra~Red" Library not Working!!!!!

i'm using Infra red library to send RC5 protocol signals using the IR Output LED but the IR LED is not blinking while i put the program and library in use that i got from this page A Multi-Protocol Infrared Remote Library for the Arduino , i'm using the IRsend coding on this page to send codes

Note:This Library was tested with 0017 IDE of Arduino but i'm using the 0020 Version because i'm using UNO.

So, what do you expect us to do with that little description you wrote up? Send out black helicopters to chase down your bugs?

  • Did you try to find the error yourself?
  • Is the program compiling correctly?
  • What is working?
  • Why are you using so many ! in your subject and why do you think it would make us care more?
  • Did you contact Ken Shirriff, the author of the library?
  • If yes, did he care and if not, what makes you think we're interested in supporting his library?
  • Have you wired the IR-LED correctly?
  • How did you make sure your program works under Version 0017?
  • Have you checked Google before coming to cry on this forum?
  • Did you check if your hardware works properly with a Blink program toggling your LED?
  • How did you verify that the IR-LED is emitting light?

Questions over questions, some of them might give a clue, some might make us care more for your problem. Over to you to answer them. Have a nice day, an next time, please try to come across less like a spoiled brat.

NB: I have allergic reactions to sentences with more than one exclamation mark. It brings out the worst of me.

If you have problem with more than one Exclamation mark's How im going too know that? , Moreover you're making an issue of not so serious thing of exclamation marks , Nevertheless it should be atleast understood by you that it's better not to make overwhelming Hard Remarks as it helps no one!

Brat! Sheesh , i'm a Geek not a Brat at all, I have graduated recently and i used to sit at the first bench everytime, i never cheated too honest with my work, and never bunked or had a Girl Friend.

NOTE: i never exected such sort of reply from someone who has a decent knowledge pool according to me.

And still no answers which could help find out what problems you have with that library.

@Nishant:

This Library was tested with 0017 IDE of Arduino but i'm using the 0020 Version

I am using this library with arduino-0021. I have no problems.

I think the most important of Korman's questions are:

How is your IR LED wired to your Arduino board?

What are you using to detect whether or not the IR LED is blinking?

The IR LEDs that I use do not emit any visible light. The various remote control codes consist of a carrier of 38-40 kHz that is turned on and off on time boundaries that are multiples of a several hundred microseconds. I usually use one of the 3-pin detector modules like the one shown on Ken's blog site. Note that these do not respond to a constant carrer-on state. The carrier must be switched on and off at rates similar to the various transmit code sequences in the library.

Thank You! Every Body the Problem has solved the main thing was the IF Condition in the Program that i straightaway took from Sir Ken Shirrif i modulated the IF Condition so it can access the statements ,Everythings Fine now and I Have tested it with the DAEWOO TV too and its working altogether Nicely!.

... the Problem has solved the main thing was the IF Condition in the Program ...

So all that was necessary was a little abuse so you started to look for the problem your self and find it?

@NisHanT: WHat iS wrOng wiTh yoUr sHift keY?

As for the rather snappy reply by korman, he has a valid point.

If you have problem with more than one Exclamation mark's How im going too know that?

Just because you find endless numbers of exclamation marks normal, doesn't mean the rest of the world does. Most people I've met on the net, aswell as in person, find that writing an entire sentence (or a large part thereof) in uppercase constitutes as SHOUTING.
A large number of exclamation marks as such, is more taken in a frustrated / angry tone. It is rather suprising how adapted we are at picking up moods, we can even do it off of simple text. So hence my advice, use proper english with proper punctuation, don't abuse it by using a lot of exclamation marks for instance, 1 is plenty.. more..

helps no one

the main thing was the IF Condition in the Program that i straightaway took from Sir Ken Shirrif i modulated the IF Condition so it can access the statements

Nishant, ask yourself how we were supposed to answer that problem with the information you posted. We need a fighting chance.

So all that was necessary was a little abuse so you started to look for the problem your self and find it?

Tough love scores and wins once again. ;D

Sorry if had done BAD

Sorry if had done BAD

No, what you did was good. You started to look at your problem again yourself and solved it. That's about the best thing you can do.

Thanks Buddy!

I have a new! problem i successfully connected my 6vdc relay with my arduino in the way described in LINK - http://www.instructables.com/id/Connecting-a-12V-Relay-to-Arduino/step6/The-Schematic/ but it's working as soon as i connect my arduino to usb pc connection according to me its the Transistor that's making a problem i mean it is faulty ,what you suggest?

One question, what exactly do you mean by "it's working"? Is the thing working as you expect in regular operations, but just when you connect the Arduino it behaves strangely (ie The relay closes when you don't expect it)?

If this is the case, most likely it's the code in the setup() function, because whenever you connect your Arduino to the USB, it does a hardware reset and restarts from the beginning. All data gathered before is lost.

Korman

i mean relay is clicking but it should click when i give a command to ardunio on th respective pin on which i have connected it

Now, altogether, hands on the ouija board...

I GOT IT ALL , I was right problem was in the transistor!
