IRremote Library, Send & Receive Infrared Remote Control

The IRremote library allows a microcontroller like a Teensy to receive and transmit infrared remote control codes. It acts like two libraries - one for receiving codes using an IR receiver module, and one for transmitting codes using an IR LED. Example code is provided to demonstrate receiving codes and printing the protocol and value, and transmitting codes using NEC format. The library requires a timer but can be configured to use an alternative timer if needed. More documentation is available on the original author's website.

IRremote Library
IRremote, by Ken Shirriff, allows you to receive or transmit Infrared Remote Control codes. You can make your projects controlled by a remote, or make them control other devices like televisions and stereo components. Download: IRremote.zip (modified to work on Teensy and other boards)

Hardware Requirements
For transmitting, a single Infrared LED and resistor are needed. For receiving, an IR receiver module with internal bandpass filter is needed.

For transmitting, you must connect the LED to a specific pin. The receiver output may be connected to any pin. Board Teensy 1.0 Teensy 2.0 Teensy++ 1.0 Teensy++ 2.0 Receive Transmit Timer PWM Pins Pin Pin Used Disabled Any Any Any Any 17 10 1 1 1 4 2 2 15, 18 12 0 0

Basic Usage
IRremote acts like 2 libraries, one for sending and one for receiving. Usually it's easiest to find the codes to transmit by first using the receiver.

Receiving
IRrecv irrecv(receivePin)
Create the receiver object, using a name of your choice.

irrecv.enableIRIn()
Begin the receiving process. This will enable the timer interrupt which consumes a small amount of CPU every 50 s.

irrecv.decode(&results)
Attempt to receive a IR code. Returns true if a code was received, or false if nothing received yet. When a code is received, information is stored into "results". results.decode_type: Will be one of the following: NEC, SONY, RC5, RC6, or UNKNOWN. results.value: The actual IR code (0 if type is UNKNOWN) results.bits: The number of bits used by this code results.rawbuf: An array of IR pulse times results.rawlen: The number of items stored in the array

irrecv.resume()
After receiving, this must be called to reset the receiver and prepare it to receive another code.

irrecv.blink13(true)
Enable blinking the LED when during reception. Because you can't see infrared light, blinking the LED can be useful while troubleshooting, or just to give visual feedback.

Transmitting
IRsend irsend;
Create the transmit object. A fixed pin number is always used, depending on which timer the library is utilizing.

irsend.sendNEC(IRcode, numBits);
Send a code in NEC format.

irsend.sendSony(IRcode, numBits);
Send a code in Sony format.

irsend.sendRC5(IRcode, numBits);
Send a code in RC5 format.

irsend.sendRC6(IRcode, numBits);
Send a code in RC6

irsend.sendRaw(rawbuf, rawlen, frequency);


Send a raw code. Normally you would obtain the contents of rawbuf and rawlen by using the receiver many times and averaging the results. Some adjustments may be necessary for best performance. The frequency is the expected bandpass filter frequency at the receiver, where 38 is the most commonly used.

IRremote Library, Send & Receive Infrared Remote Control

Timer Usage
IRremote requires a timer for both transmitting and receiving. If you wish to use another library that requires the same timer, you can edit IRremoteInt.h to make IRremote use a different timer.
