IR Help please

Other Hardware Sensors

Hellow everyone,
first of all im new to Arduino and to C language in general.
I did the basics lesson' and i bought a kit which inside there is an IR reciver that i wanna use.
The type is 1838B and it looks exactly like this - http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/file/view/IR-Receiver-AX-1838HS.pdf
(im not 100% sure its the right data sheet)
So my question/request is how do i use it? how do i define the remote i have (looks like thathttp://www.ebay.com/itm/IR-Receiver-Module-Wireless-Remote-Kit-for-Arduino-MCU-/280819766501?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41622994e5#ht_2510wt_1168)
to work with the reciver? i searched the web for hours bur i did not understand what should i do and i dont think the libary i download is up to date (IRemote from here--A Multi-Protocol Infrared Remote Library for the Arduino)

so please explain me what should i do,
Thanx :slight_smile:

If your remote's protocol is not one of the recognized types (NEC, Sony, RC5, RC6) then you might like this article:

I use the same remotes and they use the NEC code set (perfectly supported by IRremote).

it works the same, I have the same IR as you have, which I cant make it work yet, but in general hardware wise when facing you the far left pin is vout the middle is ground and the far right is vin , so you have to connect the far left to a pin in arduino middle to gnd and far right to 5v. but I have no freaking idea how to code it yet. lol

I think that the library that you are using is the same one that I use. Connect the sensor like has been explained except hook the sensor output to pin 11 of the Arduino. Load and run the IRDump example that comes with the library. Open serial monitor and push a button on the remote. The program will tell you the remote type if it is recognized.
