IR Remote to Keyboard

Other Hardware Home Automation
1

Hi guys!

I recently bought an Arduino Uno, and that's when i figured out i could use him like a remote keyboard/mouse..

Problem is, my code work only once(i can reset the arduino, than it works again for only 1 button i press in the remote), i dunno if this is a code issue, or something else.

I'm using a receiver from the original remote (that works on the computer, but i don't like his design xD, so i want to use other remote to simulate him), a IR Emitter, the remote that i want to use, an IR Receiver, and a Arduino of course ( lol ).

I will leave the code here, hope you guys can help me.

Peace! And thanks in advance.

Sorry if i made some english error, i'm from Brazil

Common mistake: you must enable receiving after every send.

irrecv.enableIRIn();

Check out our 10 tips via my signature link for getting started with IR.

It just doesn't work, can you tell me if this is a issue with my code, or maybe there is a limitation of how many buttons arduino can handle ?

5

possible(probably) running out of SRAM.

6

Is there a way to fix this ?

7

Another problem you have is that your signals are 33 long - not 34.

So remove the last comma in the array definition & change the 34 to 33 .

(these probably don't cause any serious issue, but better to clean them up as well.

Alternatively use code like this: (note the way the size of the array is automatically calculated)

Is there a way to fix this ?

Yes:

  1. store the arrays in Flash (PROGMEM) and copy them into a RAM array just before sending. You need to search this forum or google to find examples.
  2. Get an Arduino with more SRAM.
  3. Decode the signal into binary & extend the library to support this protocol. This is more cois more advanced but means you only have to use 2 or 4 bytes per signal vs 64 now.
  4. Identify repeating patterns in the signals and store them only once.

Thanks AnalysIR !
I will try the hints that you gave me, and then post the working code ! =D

10

another thing to try:

divide the values in the existing arrays by 10 (or 50) and define the arrays as unsigned char (instead of unsigned int).

(IRremote records times in multiples of 50, by default)

Then before you send each signal copy the array into a new array which is defined as 'unsigned int' and multiply each value by 10 or 50 as you are doing this. Then send the signal using sendRAW.

This will reduce your SRAM usage by about 50%, which may suffice for your needs.

Well, i'm kinda new to Arduino. Could you give me a example about this ? I think i get the idea, but can't actually write it in code xD

Same problem using this code, it doesn't work after more than 15 buttons. Now i'll try the other things that you said to me, and see if something works.

Yes, good idea.

(Its unlikely you will get people to write code for you, but they are usually willing to help improve your own efforts)
