usethislibrarytodecodeandprintthecodesfromyour

Variouslibrariesofcodesareavailableonline,oftenin
proprietaryformats.TheLinuxInfraredRemoteControlproject
(LIRC),however,hasanopenformatfordescribingcodesfor
manyremotes.Notethatevenifyoucan'tfindcodesforyour

usercallsadecodingroutinetodecodethebuffered

Thedecodelibrarytriesdecodingdifferentprotocolsin

thatcontainstherawdata,thedecodeddata,thenumberof

Fordecoding,theMATCHmacrodetermineifthemeasured
markorspacetimeisapproximatelyequaltotheexpected

TheRC5/6decodingisabitdifferentfromtheothersbecause
RC5/6encodebitswithmark+spaceorspace+mark,rather
thanbydurationsofmarksandspaces.ThegetRClevel
helpermethodsplitsupthedurationsandgetsthe
mark/spacelevelofasingletimeinterval.
Forrepeatedtransmissions(buttonhelddown),thedecoding
codewillreturnthesamedecodedvalueoverandover.The
exceptionisNEC,whichsendsaspecialrepeatcodeinstead
ofrepeatingthetransmissionofthevalue.Inthiscase,the
decoderoutinereturnsaspecialREPEATvalue.

Detailsofthesendinglibrary
Thetransmissioncodeisstraightforward.Toensureaccurate
outputfrequenciesanddutycycles,IusethePWMtimer,
ratherthandelayloopstomodulatetheoutputLEDatthe
appropriatefrequency.(SeemyArduinoPWMSecretsarticle
formoredetailsonthePWMtimers.)Atthelowlevel,
enableIROutsetsupthetimerforPWMoutputonpin3atthe
properfrequency.Themark()methodsendsamarkby
enablingPWMoutputanddelayingthespecifiedtime.The
space()methodsendsaspacebydisablingPWMoutputand
delayingthespecifiedtime.
TheIRremotelibrarytreatsthedifferentprotocolsasfollows:
NEC:32bitsaretransmitted,mostsignificantbitfirst.(protocol
details)
Sony:12ormorebitsaretransmitted,mostsignificantbitfirst.
Typically12or20bitsareused.Notethattheofficialprotocol
isleastsignificantbitfirst.(protocoldetails)Formoredetails,

Addingnewprotocols

straightforwardifyoulookattheexistinglibrarycode.Afew
tips:Itwillbeeasiertoworkwithadescriptionoftheprotocol
ratherthantryingtoentirelyreverseengineertheprotocol.

andshorterforspacesthantheprotocolsuggests.It'seasyto
beoffbyonewiththelastbitthelastspacemaybeimplicit.
Troubleshooting
TomakeiteasiertodebugproblemswithIRcommunication,I
haveoptionaldebuggingcodeinthelibrary.Add#define
DEBUGtothebeginningofyourcodetoenabledebugging
outputontheserialconsole.Youwillneedtodeletethe.o
filesand/orrestarttheIDEtoforcerecompilation.
ProblemswithTransmission

Ifsendingisn'tworking,firstmakesureyourIRLEDisactually
transmitting.IRwillusuallyshowuponavideocameraorcell
phonecamera,sothisisasimplewaytocheck.Tryputting
theLEDrightuptothereceiverdon'texpectalotofrange
unlessyouamplifytheoutput.
Thenextpotentialproblemisifthereceiverdoesn't

usethislibrarytocheckwhatdataitissendingandwhat

AnoscilloscopewillprovideagoodviewofwhattheArduino

oscilloscopetothephotodiode.Ifyoudon'thavean
oscilloscope,youcanuseasoundcardoscilloscopeprogram
suchasxoscope.
TheSonyandRC5/6protocolsspecifythatmessagesmust
besentthreetimes.Ihavefoundthatreceiverswillignorethe

RC5/6,thetogglebitmustbeflippedbythecallingcodein

Finally,theremaybebugsinthislibrary.Inparticular,Idon't

ProblemswithReceiving
Ifreceivingisn'tworking,firstmakesuretheArduinoisatleast

Lookingatthelibrarycode,Icouldseethatit

thePWMcheatsheetonthearduinoplayground

enough,movingtheGreenconenctiontotoanother

HiKen,

InIRremoteInt.h,yousetthetoleranceforpulsewidth
usingthecode
#defineTOLERANCE25//percenttolerancein

#defineLTOL(1.0TOLERANCE/100.)
#defineUTOL(1.0+TOLERANCE/100.)
Thisistheonlyfloatingpointcodeusedinthelibrary,
anditmeansthatthecompilerpullsintheArduino

Ifyoudeletethesethreelines,andmodifythedefinitions
ofTICKS_LOWandTICKS_HIGH(theonlylinesthatuse
them)to
#defineTICKS_LOW(us)((((us)*3)/(4*
USECPERTICK)))
#defineTICKS_HIGH(us)((((us)*5)/(4*

Sorryfortheabovecomment,ijustnoticedthatyou
havewrittenthatitdoesn'tsupportsimultaneuos
receivingandtransmitting.
Butthatmakesmewanttoaskyousomethingelse:what
doesthatexactlymean?Doesitmeanthatwheniuse
"irsend.sendSony(0xa90,12)"theinterruptwon'tbe
calledwhiletransmissionisbeingsent,ordoesthat
meanthatjustwriting"IRsendirsend"disablesreception
