TSOP38238 - Refuses to work on Arduino

Post by xerof »

Hi,

I've tried the following code (https://learn.adafruit.com/ir-sensor/using-an-ir-sensor) including the GitHub code and I just can't seem to get it to spit out any results in Serial Monitor! - I've tried it on the following Boards: Arduino Micro, Arduino Yun, Arduino Mega 2560. (Changing the IRpin_PIN & IRpin for the MEGA)

I have an Arduino UNO which I will try later when I get chance.

All I get in Serial Monitor is "Ready to decode IR!" and that's all.

Connecting a Red LED - it will actually blink when a button is pressed, so I can only assume that there is something wrong with the code some where?

I also tried a library "IR Remote" (https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote) that actually worked, but I'm more interested in getting the timings etc.

Thanks

Post a photo of your hardware and connections and we'll see if those give us any clues.
