IR remote help

Seth

I am trying to use the IR remote object and I can't quite get it to work.
I would like to set a pin (13) high if chUp is pressed, and set a pin (14) high if chDn is pressed.
This is probably really easy, but please bear with me as I am still learning.
Thanks.

In your main you call GetSonyCode function. That's wrong. The IR object is designed as a driver, once started with the start function it runs in the background until you stop it.
The driver writes the code of the key pressed at the IR control to the variable for which you gave the adress in the start function.

Another thing: As the driver uses the pin, there is no need to set DIRA[noparse][[/noparse]6] to anything - each COG has it's own DIRA register and the direction has to be set by the driver.

So, in your repeat loop you simply use the code variable instead of the value.

Thank you very much. It works great now.
