IR control not responding

[MHz000]

Now I've that great program up and running - thank-you Ed! Have connected a VS1838 to GPIO35 and as well pin_ir = 35 in the Config (WEB) page declared However I don't see any rIR elated output on the serial console (tried different remote controls) other than this: D: Command client available D: handlehttp started D: Get command is: getnetworks D: Send reply for getnetworks D: Command: getnetworks with parameter 0 D: Command client available D: handlehttp started D: Get command is: getprefs D: Send reply for getprefs ... What is missing in my setup/configuration?

There is probably no signal on pin 35. Do you have a way to measure this?

[MHz000]

Thanks for the fast response Ed. For the signal at pin 35 see attached file. It looks valide. My configuration settings @ (Web-page) looks like pin_enc_clk = 25 # GPIO Pin number for rotary encoder CLK pin_enc_dt = 26 # GPIO Pin number for rotary encoder DT pin_enc_sw = 27 # GPIO Pin number for rotary encoder SW pin_ir = 35 # GPIO Pin number for IR receiver VS1838B pin_sd_cs = 21 # GPIO Pin number for SD card CS pin_tft_cs = 15 # GPIO Pin number for TFT CS pin_tft_dc = 2 # GPIO Pin number for TFT DC pin_vs_cs = 5 # GPIO Pin number for VS1053 CS pin_vs_dcs = 32 # GPIO Pin number DCS CHANGED from 16 to 32 pin_vs_dreq = 4

Do I have to put the pin settings in defaultprefs.h too? At the moment there is no declaration for pin 35

define defaultprefs_version 1808016

const char defprefs_txt[] PROGMEM = R"=====(

Example configuration

Programmable input pins:

gpio_00 = uppreset = 1 gpio_12 = upvolume = 2 gpio_13 = downvolume = 2 gpio_14 = stop gpio_17 = resume gpio_34 = station = icecast.omroep.nl:80/radio1-bb-mp3 #

Your signal looks good. There is no need to change the defaultprefs. You could try to use a different pin.

just to be sure: to bring up the I2C connected LCD I had to change pins from -1 to 22/21 in main.cpp at line 2581-82 struct iosetting klist[] = { // List of I/O related keys { "pin_ir", &ini_block.ir_pin, -1 }, // ****?? { "pin_enc_clk", &ini_block.enc_clk_pin, -1 }, { "pin_enc_dt", &ini_block.enc_dt_pin, -1 }, { "pin_enc_sw", &ini_block.enc_sw_pin, -1 }, { "pin_tft_cs", &ini_block.tft_cs_pin, -1 }, // Display SPI version { "pin_tft_dc", &ini_block.tft_dc_pin, -1 }, // Display SPI version { "pin_tft_scl", &ini_block.tft_scl_pin, 22 }, // Display I2C version **** { "pin_tft_sda", &ini_block.tft_sda_pin, 21 }, // Display I2C version **** ... do I have to change pin_ir from -1 to 35 too?

do I listen to the right port? Reads terminal output like

D: handlehttp started D: Get command is: status D: Send reply for status D: Command: status with parameter 0 D: Command client available D: handlehttp started D: Get command is: status D: Send reply for status D: Command: status with parameter 0 Thank-you

Do not change the source files unless you know what you are doing, except for the definition of the display type. The rest has to be configured in the config page of the web interface.

changed HW to pin 34 and Config page set pin_ir = 34 save & restart terminal output still show no IR response power cycle ... nothing to note Do I look at the right place? Do I have to switch into debug mode?

[MHz000]

maybe an external pullup R is needed?

[Edzelf]

I just tested it. With 6 remotes, input pin 35. Pull-up is 10k. They all work. Remotes are: KPn (TV settop box), Samsung TV, Samsung DVD, and 3 Chinese (for Car DVD, some MP3 player and color lamp control).

[MHz000]

Ed, I've added 10k pull up and switched the IR-remote control I see IR-codes NOW at least with one of several testd IR-remots Thank-you for your patience The IR-remotes I've tested are for LED-stripes like the one / similar to the one mentioned in the instructions. The one for Sony TV-set dosn't work with the radio (but with TV-set) Maybe the decoding rules are harsh. I'll make some tests. Thank-you so much

finaly a made it Thank-you Ed

Looks good! And listening to Petula Clark also a good thing...
