Serial.print not working

Hey all,

I'm having some trouble with this sketck. It's lady Ada's IRComadander Sketch with my own ir commands added in. As you can see in the code below the last two else if statements in the void loop() function are commented out. That is because if i try and include them the Serial interface bug's out and doesn't output anything. I can't see why this is happening.... The tx lights on my arduino uno flashes when they're supposed to but nothing is displayed on the screen.

Any and all advice/suggestions are apreciated.

Cheers,
DRex

Each element in this array takes 2 bytes. 200 elements * 2 bytes is using a lot of the SRAM on a Duemilonve or UNO.

Each of you Serial.print statements also takes space in SRAM. At some point, you are probably running out of memory.
