Remote Code Capture Program
●
In the Arduino software, select File then Examples. Look for Irremote and
select IRrecvDemo.
●
When the program is loaded, look for the line 'int RECV_PIN = 11;' and
change the pin number to 3.
●
Upload the program into the robot.
●
Open the Serial Monitor.
●
Now point the remote control at the IR receiver and press a button.
●
Numbers should be displayed in the serial monitor.
●
Remotes operate in one of two ways. One type of remote keeps repeating
the code for the button pressed as long as the button is pressed. The other
type will send the code once and then all logic level 1 after that.
●
The codes are generally 32-bit numbers. The program displays the numbers
in hexidecimal. There should be 8 digits. There are some remotes that will
send smaller codes.
