Hi Guys, I'm new to Arduino and having a blast. I got the Sainsmart UNO R3 Starter Kit. It's a brilliant bit of kit but the documentation leaves a LOT to be desired :D, but that ends up being a good thing, as it's mostly there and just needs some tweaks. You end up learning more. Right now I'm try…

Have you considered the IRremote library?. It works well for me. [image] GitHub - Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote: Infrared remote library for... Infrared remote library for Arduino: send and receive infrared signals with multiple protocols - GitHub - Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote:…

Libraries are good. If you roll-your-own, you can use something like: int key = getIRKey(); //Fetch the key if(key != 0) //Ignore keys that are zero { switch(key) { case 128: Serial.print("1"); break; case 129: Serial.print("2"); break; case 130: Ser…

Ahh that is perfect! As soon as you pass the variable to an int I can interact with it. I'll jump on to that link you included and work out why. Thanks for the help! Adam

Hiya, am also having a blast - n00bie with HTML "programming" experience. Was wondering how this part actually works; TCCR1A = 0X00; TCCR1B = 0X05;//set timer clock source TCCR1C = 0X00; TCNT1 = 0X00; TIMSK1 = 0X00; // Ban timer interrupt overflow the only variable actually used in the sketch is T…

They're internal registers in the micro controller. Have a look at the data sheet for exact details.

They're used as timers further down. I'm not certain but I think they are used to create a timer difference in the info sent. I've included their pdf here. Hope you enjoy, they offer a fantastic package for its price. UNO R3 Starter Kit Tutoral.pdf (2.44 MB)

AWOL: They're internal registers in the micro controller. oh yeah, duhh.... they can't be variables because they weren't declared in the sketch ! so they are actually like 'keywords' then ? AWOL: Have a look at the data sheet for exact details. and this would be the datasheet for the (eg.)…

so they are actually like 'keywords' then ? No, they're defined in header files automatically included by the build process. and this would be the datasheet for the (eg.) Arduino Uno itself, right Wrong, it would be the datasheet for the Atmel AVR 328 processor

naescent: I've included their pdf here. Hope you enjoy, they offer a fantastic package for its price. wow, thanks !! i'm working off the Earthshine Starter Kit Manual. and your PDF has a few extra different stuff to try. Cheers!

AWOL: so they are actually like 'keywords' then ? No, they're defined in header files automatically included by the build process. and this would be the datasheet for the (eg.) Arduino Uno itself, right Wrong, it would be the datasheet for the Atmel AVR 328 processor ahh, further down the…
