IRremote library now runs on the Teensy, Arduino Mega, and Sanguino

Thanks to Paul Stoffregen of PJRC, my Arduino IR remote library now runs on a bunch of different platforms, including the Teensy, Arduino Mega, and Sanguino. Paul has details here, along with documentation on the library that I admit is better than mine.

I used my new IRremote test setup to verify that the library works fine on the Teensy. I haven't tested my library on the other platforms because I don't have the hardware so let me know if you have success or run into problems.

Download

The latest version of the IRremote library with the multi-platform improvements is on GitHub. To download and install the library:
  • Download the IRremote library zip file from GitHub.
  • Unzip the download
  • Move/rename the shirriff-Arduino-IRremote-nnnn directory to arduino-000nn/libraries/IRremote.

Thanks again to Paul for adding this major improvement to my library and sending me a Teensy to test it out. You can see from the picture that the Teensy provides functionality similar to the Arduino in a much smaller package that is also breadboard-compatible; I give it a thumbs-up.

    It seems that there is now Mega2560 Support, or?

    How do I add support for the Mega2560 cant for the life of me work it out I have added

    #elif defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__

    where appropriate but cant get this to function. What should I be looking at in the Mega2560 datasheet?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    does it still using pin 3 for sending on mega1280??

    no its pin 9 on the 2560 I added the #define __AVR_ATmega1280__
    at the top of
    IRremoteInt.h

    I use the last Arduino (1.00) with MEGA 2560. I've made the changes like "arduino.h" and use PIN 9 as IR-LED output pin.
    I can receive code by using IRrcevDump, and I can also make the IR LED blink by using IRsendDemo.
    But somehow the duplicate just don't work.
    For example, I press "menu" on remote control and get "Decoded NEC: 8C73E11E (32 bits)" so I modified IRsendDemo as "irsend.sendNEC(0x8c73e11e, 32);".

    Everything looks fine just don't work.
    Any suggestion about this situation?

    Thanks~~

    Has anyone successfully changed pins on mega to 11 yet? I am trying to use IRremote with a touch screen (using UTFT) on my mega2560 but pin 9 is taken. I cant get the demo to work using pin 11, i changed the commented part in the beginning (timer 1, pin 11) but still nothing. irled lights up fine too when outputting on that pin.

    I try to use 1 arduino to do the sending and receiving, but always cannot receive the IR Codes. I am guessing that the IR data is loss before the software has time to decode it..
