A modified version of Arduino-IRremote for the Spark Core v1.0 and compatible with the Spark Core web IDE.
- Trimmed out IRrecv (removed the decoding of IR signals. Thus you can only send IR codes with this lib. If you make the IRrecv part of the code copatible, please send a pull-request :) )
- Removed the use of PWM. It now only uses digitalWrite() and delayMicroseconds() to make the IR pulses. Thus the maximum frequency of pulses is 166khz. (Most IR codes are 38khz so it's not a problem). Kudos to eflynch: https://github.com/eflynch/sparkcoreiremitter/blob/master/ir_emitter/ir_emitter.ino
- Allows to set the pin of the IR led. (any A or D pin should work on the Spark Core)
- Allows to make multiple instance of the IRsend class with different pins to control multiple IR leds.
WARNING: The library has the same usage as the original IRremote, except that the constructor takes the pin as first argument: IRsend(int irPin);. For example, if you want to instanciate the class (on the stack) for the pin D1 use: IRsend irsend(D1);.
You can look at usages examples for sending on the original library for various TVs (make sure you make the change in the above warning for the examples to work): https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote/tree/master/examples
I used it to control my Roomba using this gist (make sure you make the change in the above warning for the examples to work): https://gist.github.com/probonopd/5181021
If you don't understand what this library does, how to use it, what is a Spark Core or what is infrared remote codes, look at this wiki help page.
