I found this code (below) and i really need it to be able to receive 4 different signals and have 4 different buttons to send it eg Power, Vol Up, Vol Down and Something else. I want to be able to hold down the button and then press the button on the remote and record it eg on the arduino hold down the vol Up button and then point a remote at it and press the Vol Up button and the arduino records it later for playback. I cant figure out how to do all that.
Thanks Ian
[code]/*
* IRrecord: record and play back IR signals as a minimal
* An IR detector/demodulator must be connected to the input RECV_PIN.
* An IR LED must be connected to the output PWM pin 3.
* A button must be connected to the input BUTTON_PIN; this is the
* send button.
* A visible LED can be connected to STATUS_PIN to provide status.
*
* The logic is:
* If the button is pressed, send the IR code.
* If an IR code is received, record it.
