WHere can i get the library to download for my IR receiver to use my remote.
Ken Shirriff's IRremote is here.
Ok, i finished downloading the library and its in my sketch. But it gives me the error below when i try to run it.
In file included from C:\Users\Thomas\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote\IRremote.cpp:13:
C:\Users\Thomas\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote/IRremoteInt.h:87: error: 'uint8_t' does not name a type
Depending on where a library is installed you need a or "libraryname" for the Arduino install folder or your sketchbook. I can never remember which is which but you might have the wrong syntax and it's not seeing your library?
I have everything downloaded in my arduino library which is located when you go to, file-Sketchbook-libraries-then i have my IRremote.
Are you talking about that?
Yeah... so check the line in your sketch where the library is called: change the <> to "" or vice versa and see if that works.
(I can't remember which of <> or "" is for which location, so try the one you don't have 8) )
It shows me the same errors..
See if this compiles: I just double-checked and it compiles for me right now. (But I'm at work so can't actually test on Arduino.... it worked a couple of years back though 
)
It's one of Ken's sketches with a mod by me to adjust an LED with tv remote.

/* well now it controls the brightness of an LED
LED is PWM'd on pin5
******* PWM on pin3 seems disabled when using IR?
uses the volume key... up to brighten, down to dim
under rc5, the keys have two toggled values
down: 411 or c11 hex; 1041 or 3089 dec
up: 410 or c10 hex; 1040 or 3088 dec

EDIT.... ps, my library is here: C:\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\libraries
Still not compiling...
Check if i have all the files i need in the library.
I have attached every file i had in my IRremot.
IRremote.cpp (31 KB)
IRremote.h (4.11 KB)
keywords.txt (1000 Bytes)
LICENSE.txt (23.8 KB)
Mine has IRremoteInt as well, which would explain your problem I guess.
Nope that didn't solve it also. So i suppose to load my library with the IRremote.h file. Then open new sketch and copy paste what you sent me and run it, right?
What didn't solve it? I don't know what you mean....
adding the IRremotInt.h file
What does "IRrecv" does not name a type mean?
