Particle Photon Infrared signal cloner

For anyone else that stumbles here, it might be useful to have a working version of both of these.

If you want to READ (aka RECEIVE) IR codes, check out something like the “VMA317” module (https://www.vellemanstore.com/en/velleman-vma317-arduino-compatible-ir-infrared-37-9-khz-receiver-2-pieces) – they are ~$2-3/each. The benefit is a nice clean 3 wire (Vcc, GND, and “DATA”) interface.

The code is:

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <IRremote.h>

// NOTE: Need 5V for VIN

int RECV_PIN = D0;

IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);

decode_results results;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
    //Serial.println(results.value);
    //Serial.println(results.value, BIN);
    irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
  }
}

If you want to SEND (aka TRANSMIT) IR codes, check out something like the “VMA316” module (https://www.vellemanstore.com/en/velleman-vma316-arduino-compatible-infrared-transmitter-module-2-pieces) – they are ~$2-3/each. The benefit again is a nice clean 3 wire (Vcc, GND, and “DATA”) interface.

The code is:

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <IRremote.h>

// Send Pin is A5 (https://www.hackster.io/gusgonnet/infrared-replicator-3c52d9)
// NOTE: Must send each command at least TWICE for most devices to receive it. Wait between sends!
IRsend irsend;

void setup() {
}

void loop() {
    
    // Must send twice for it to work!
    // NEC is 32 bits, and the HEX (0xSOMETHING) is straight from your receiver above.
    irsend.sendNEC(0x12345678, 32);
    irsend.sendNEC(0x12345678, 32);
    delay(5000); //5 second delay between each signal burst
}

Hi guys, I wanted to add as well my project shared here:

Thanks!
Gustavo.
