Im using Arduino leonardo for IR reception. I'm able to receive the transmitted data. but, when i want to control the dc motors using transmitted data,only one side motors are working. please help me out from this situation.
Thanks,

How can we help when you have given no useful information.
Post your program
Post your wiring schematic
Post a link to the datasheet for the motors you are using
Post a link to the motor drivers you are using
Tell us what motor power supply you are using (volts and amps).
Tell us what sort of IR transmitter you are using
...R
Sorry,I'm using NEC protocol remote as IR transmitter,(Normal remote)
i have used Ken Shirriff's IRremote library: GitHub - Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote: Infrared remote library for Arduino: send and receive infrared signals with multiple protocols
For robot details: 4WD MiniQ Robot V2.0 (Arduino Compatible) - DFRobot
Without IR communications the motors working is normal.The robot is able to move forward and reverse, but when i want to control movement of motors with IR Remote, only left side motors are running, but right side motors are not functioning.But, i can able to read the transmitted data from remote.And left side motors are working according to received data. but not right side motors.

Where in the program in Reply #2 is the code that allows you to see the IR data that is received?
And please post the program that shows that both motors work without the IR code.
What is the purpose of the Lego library that does not seem to be used?

---For reading IR Received data, i have used Serial Monitor to check(using Serial.println) inside the
function.
This is without IR and it works fine.

-This comes with the IR remote library.
--For IR reception i have to use D17 pin which is pin 8 in processor and that pin is used in one of motor driving circuit.
Can you please see the schematic : https://github.com/Arduinolibrary/DFRobot_ROB0050_Miniq-4WD-Robot/blob/master/miniQ%204WD%20V2.pdf?raw=true
i thought maybe problem with the IR receiver pin! I don't have any clue.

The program in Reply #2 does not have Serial.print() statements. Please post the version of the program that includes them.
I don't know what you mean by D17 and Pin8. Just use the standard Arduino pin reference numbers. You obviously cannot use the same pin for two purposes.
You may find that your problem arises because the IR activity is using one of the HardwareTimers that is needed to produce PWM signals for the motor. Read the details of analogWrite() in the Reference section.

- I think the problem is with this section only, because left side motors are working when i use IR activity. But not the right side motors.How can i change HarwareTimer to another pin in that IRremote Library? Is it possible to change Timer through programming.
from the header file of IRremote library this is the processor configuration of Leonardo board. i have tried changing all timers, but same result.

Does this mean you are using a Teensy rather then an Uno or a Mega and have not told us?
If so, please tell us ALL about what you are trying to do and post a COMPLETE program.
And you did not respond to my questions in Reply #5
