using irRemote from other library

hi all,

background of project:

i want control lego power function devices arduino via infrared, want replace both, sender , receiver, arduino , custom protocol allow more accurate steering , have more   outputs available.

for better re-usability thought of creating receiver library doing protocol handling, etc. implementing  library irremote doing ir part.


but here comes problem, not understand: if call irremote library, garbage result irremote. if call same code ino results fine.

so, can explain me problem is:

code working (using irremote directly ino)
ino file

code: [select]


#include "arduino.h"
#include <irremote.h>

const int recv_pin = a5;

irrecv irrecv(recv_pin);

decode_results results;

void setup()
{
  serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableirin(); // start receiver
  irrecv.blink13(true);
  serial.println ("starting direct sketch");

}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    if (results.decode_type == nec) {
      serial.print("nec: ");
    } else if (results.decode_type == sony) {
      serial.print("sony: ");
    } else if (results.decode_type == rc5) {
      serial.print("rc5: ");
    } else if (results.decode_type == rc6) {
      serial.print("rc6: ");
    } else if (results.decode_type == unknown) {
      serial.print("unknown: ");
    }
    serial.println(results.value, hex);
    irrecv.resume(); // receive next value
  }
}



here following output if press

nec: ffa25d



now comes problem:
code faulty using irremote other library

ino file

code: [select]


#include "arduino.h"
#include "receiverlibtest.h"
//the setup function called once @ startup of sketch




receiverlibtest irreceiver;


void setup()
{
// add initialization code here
serial.begin(9600);
serial.println("starting lib sketch");
}

// loop function called in endless loop
void loop()
{

irreceiver.processdata();

}


library cpp

code: [select]


// not remove include below
#include "receiverlibtest.h"
#include "irremote.h"



#define ir_receive_pin a5

irrecv irrecv(ir_receive_pin);

decode_results results;

receiverlibtest::receiverlibtest()
{
// instanciate infrared library on given pin

// start ir receiver
irrecv.enableirin();

}


void receiverlibtest::processdata()
{
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
if (results.decode_type == nec) {
  serial.print("nec: ");
} else if (results.decode_type == sony) {
  serial.print("sony: ");
} else if (results.decode_type == rc5) {
  serial.print("rc5: ");
} else if (results.decode_type == rc6) {
  serial.print("rc6: ");
} else if (results.decode_type == unknown) {
  serial.print("unknown: ");
}
serial.println(results.value, hex);
irrecv.resume(); // receive next value
  }
}


here, if press standby button on remote again, allways random values:

unknown: e9e70e8d
unknown: cf51c16e
unknown: e1886d7f
unknown: 4bcf0c40

so, problem here? can explain behavior?

thanks, butch

maybe there device mismatch.

this may not might interesting:
