I am fairly new to Arduinos. I have an Aruino Mega 2560 ( Amazon.com: KEYESTUDIO Mega 2560 R3 Board for Arduino Projects with USB Cable : Electronics ). I bought a set of IR receivers and transmitters ( Amazon.com: Gikfun Digital 38khz Ir Receiver Ir Transmitter Sensor Module Kit for Arduino (Pack of 3…

[image] wanttoknow2000: What might I be doing wrong? Why do you think you are doing something wrong? Your description seems perfectly normal.

I guess I was expecting the outputs to be like the website ( How to Set Up an IR Remote and Receiver on an Arduino - Circuit Basics ) describes. And I am not seeing that. Does that make sense?

The program I used was the one I quoted above. So the code is #include <IRremote.h> const int RECV_PIN = 7; IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN); decode_results results; void setup(){ Serial.begin(9600); irrecv.enableIRIn(); irrecv.blink13(true); } void loop(){ if (irrecv.decode(&results)){ S…

Try this code at loop(): void loop() { if (IrReceiver.decode()) { Serial.println(IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData, HEX); irrecv.resume(); } }

[image] ruilviana: Try this code at loop(): This seemed to do it. I am now getting something like what is shown. I am still getting a zero on a line and then the code below. Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you so much for this.

They show more than one program listing. Which one are you using? Are your components 100% like the web site?
