IR Remote that can receive and send IR signal at the same time with Mega?

Hi there

I understand that there are several timers on Arduino Mega.
I'm wondering if it is possible to leverage on that to building a IR Remote that can receive and send IR signal at the same time?

Mega has the following:
timer 0 for pin 13 and 4
timer 1 for pin 12 and 11
timer 2 for pin 10 and 9
timer 3 for pin 5 and 3 and 2
timer 4 for pin 8 and 7 and 6

I'm using the IR Lib from

The IR sending is via Pin 5
While the IR Receiving is via pin 11
But when I try to have the board receive and send at the time, the IR signal goes haywire?

New to electronics, so I could be missing something.
It would be great if anyone could point me to the correct direction.

Thank you very much :smiley:

Are you trying to use a shared medium (IR Level) to send and receive at the same time?
