interpreting the pulse

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hi All,

I am new to arduino and considered myself lucky as somebody gave me an 2 arduino uno for free :), i know its old but I guess this would be enough for me to learn arduino. I want to ask help from you regarding how to read a code., I am asking for help on how i would make my arduino to read a pulse. In my setup, there are two arduino one is the pulse generator and the other is a pulse decoder.

The pulse generator will give out pulses to blink the infrared LED, The IR LED will illuminate one time for approximately 2 second ON then 2 seconds OFF, then ON again for 2 Seconds and off for 2 Seconds, then ON for 1 second, off for 1 second, then ON again for 1 second then off again for 4 second and this pulses happens within 12 seconds then it repeats.

This is the code for my Pulse Generator

// Pin 12 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.
// give it a name:
int led = 12; // set this pin as output fed to IR LED Transmitter via 220 Ohms resistor

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(2000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(2000); // wait for a second

digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(4000); // wait for a second

}

How do i make my other arduino to read the pulse and display the received pulse via serial?

sorry as i am about to start the decoding part but im lost and dont know wher the to start... I tried readingas the millis, pulse in etc... and i cant get it please help me.

Thanks and Regards

Jay

This Thread about IR communication may give you some ideas. It worked well for me.

Hi,

Please use code tags.. See section 7 http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.html

This will make it easier for us to read your sketch and check it out.

Hope to help...Tom........ :slight_smile:
