IR SEND!!!

Highly frustrating times for me. My program and the examples for irsending worked before and for the past week for some reason on all my boards it won't send a code or signal or anything! I can't complete my project because of this. I've changed the clock timer pin I've tried different libraries I've reset my computer to clean everything I've changed ide versions and still won't send anything it will receive but wont send ive tried the mega and still the same please please does anybody know what the problem is? because i'm ready to give up and have to tell my teacher I don't know what is going on.

Is your LED in backwards? Are you too far away? Do you have the right pins set up?

Based upon the wealth of information supplied, it appears that you have a problem emitting an IR signal.
Without more detail, you are not likely to get more help...

Show us a good image of your wiring.
Show us a schematic.

I know what the problem is finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't laugh but the leds I bought from China are all fucking dodgy!!! apologies and thanks for your help

Language :confused:

Maybe your wiring or breadboard is dodgy.

The LEDs you buy from anywhere are from China anyway. I'd like to hear more about what you mean by 'dodgy'. Were you improperly driving them and they're dodgy because they eventually burned out?

spoke to the guy online who owns the shop he said he's had complaints before about this particular led so will send them back and for now use one from another old project.

my projects working now thanks again.

Maybe the filter is slightly racist.
