Hello guys.
I created a project that flips the light switch with a servo. It is controlled with a button and a phototransistor. It worked for a few months flawlessly.
Now I want to improve the IR accuracy so I replaced to phototransistor with an IR Rceiver Module - Vishay TSOP 382.
It is coonected to the 5V & GND in ICSP pins on the NANO, just the like old phototransistor was.
I tried connecting the out pin to D6, D7, A3 , but it does not respond to neither the IRlib2 nor IRremote libraries.
I measured with a multimeter about 5V between the Vcc & GND pins.
I don't know what else could be wrong here...would be happy for some help.
Thanks
Please explain. What used to trigger the circuit? Light level in the room? What do you want to trigger it in future? An IR remote controller/commander?
Please read the forum guide in the sticky post, then post your code and schematic.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is it necessary that the code you wrote for the phototransistor will also work with Vishay TSOP 382.
The TSOP382x IR receiver will only respond to IR light that is modulated at 38KHz.

I forgot to mention an important detail - I tried the the new IR receiver with the example codes from the IRRemote and IRLib (by Adafruit) with diffreent IR remotes and it did not respond at all.
Thanks
