Hi all , i’m using the IR library by Ken Shirriff. I have it working for the most part but have had a problem. It took me some time to figure out why my code wasn’t working but solved it of a sort by trile and error.
It’s when i perform an if statement to test for a key press on the IR it will only seem to work if there is a delay of at least 1000 directly after the body of the if statement. I based it on a simple example and that did not seem to need this.
I have taken all but the working of what i’m talking about in my example, you can see the delay statement in there. I would be very grateful if some one could tell me were i’m going wrong or tell me why it seems to need it. It also seems that if i drop the delay below 100 it doesn’t work either.
The whole thing would work better if it didn’t do this. Thanks in advance
