Guys i need help working my IR receiver and transmitter. I've been working on this thing for 4 hours and i still don't got it to work. i downloaded the IR Remote Library. and i have everything connected to the receiver how it should be. i'm trying to use the Demo they have provided in the examples but it doesn't work. i upload it and its on the arduino but when i click a button on the transmitter it doesn't show up on the computer.
Provide more details - the IR receiver you're using, a link is best.
A good quality photo of your set-up is key, one where all of your connections can be examined.
Post in the appropriate sub-forum (I'm sure this will be re-located.)
The link to my Receiver is ..http://stak.com/image/cache/data/products/236/236159/ir-vs1838b-pinout-800x800.png
or u can search it up ur self VS 1838B
and heres a photo of the real life set up, never mind the green LED connected to ground and 3.3 volt

Please post the program you are using. Don't forget to use code tags.

im using the Arduino uno from this webite, but if you mean the IR LIbrary. then that is...
You state you are a "17 year old programmer". I would then expect that a request for you to supply the program you are using, would elicit the program you are using, not a reference to the library.

Im new to arduino, so what exactly are you requesting? im using the 1.6.5 version of the arduino programming thing from the download bar of this website.
im using the 1.6.5 version of the arduino programming thing from the download bar of this website.
To compile some code that you have thus far refused to post.
And yet you expect us to tell you what is wrong with it. Reasonable expectations would say that is not going to happen.
What did i do wrong, i just asked for some help. what do you want me to provide you with? 
Give us the code of the program you are writing, and maybe the error messages
There is no Error messages but the Code I'm using is...

NEVER MIND I GOT IT WORKING YESSSSSSSSS
