Infrared Send and recieve

Code tags are delimited by [ and ] not <>. Please edit your post.

What is the original sender? Have you tried IRDump to check that your receiver works and what coding the sender uses?

And then what IR receiver and IR LED sender are you using? Do you get sensible values from your Serial.println which also will show that the receiver works? What Arduino are you using and what pin is the IR LED connected to?
