IR remote command is stuck in While loop ! help me plz

[Grumpy_Mike]

@krishvvip

found a way by adding another if condition inside the if condition like nested if.

No that will not work long term. For each of your case statements with a long delay in them there will be as many pending function enable flags to check before you can consider going to your switch statement again with a new IR command to decode.

What did I say about building things up slowly?

The is a whole new style of programming and you can't just slap a sticking plaster over it.

@krishvvip

i have finished coding for 4 buttons.

So we need to see the code so far.

@krishvvip

now I am trying to LOOP this all buttons in single button.. so if press the button 5 (actually it is a loop button) so I need to loop the BUTTONS 1,2,3,4 in button 5.

I have no idea what this means.

Remember you algorithm function still needs mending.

here is the code

#include <IRremote.h>
#define PIN_RECEIVER A0

int Lane1[] = {13,12,11}; // Lane 1 Red, Yellow and Green
int Lane2[] = {10,9,8};// Lane 2 Red, Yellow and Green
int Lane3[] = {7,6,5};// Lane 3 Red, Yellow and Green
int Lane4[] = {4,3,2};// Lane 4 Red, Yellow and Green
boolean task48aEnable;
boolean task24aEnable;
boolean task122aEnable;
boolean task16aEnable;
unsigned long int runTask48a;
IRrecv receiver(PIN_RECEIVER);
decode_results results;

{
  receiver.enableIRIn();

    pinMode(Lane1[i], OUTPUT);

I have successfully completed my code.. This all because of you @Grumpy_Mike . Thank you so much a lot and lot more
actually my project is wireless controlled hand-held remote operation for traffic signals in peak hours
I also completed the looping concept also.. I have really completed the program because of you. Building things up slowly .. thank you for your very good clam guidance.

[Grumpy_Mike]

Congratulations, well done for sticking to it. I hope you feel more in control with your code now.
