multiple IR receiver

[pvdw0310]

Hi, Did you make a multiple IR receiver for arduino/esp8266 ?

Do you mind to share you files? I'm looking for a library to receive 5 Ir receivers with one arduino/ esp8266/esp32 Many thanks Peter

Hi, this is a branch I accidentally made of the actual multi-reciever IRremote library. Here is a copy of the code needed for running multiple infrared receivers.

`#include

// To support more than 5 receivers, remember to change the define // IR_PARAMS_MAX in IRremoteInt.h as well.

define RECEIVERS 4

IRrecv *irrecvs[RECEIVERS];

decode_results results;

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600);

irrecvs[0] = new IRrecv(2); // Receiver #0: pin 2 irrecvs[1] = new IRrecv(3); // Receiver #1: pin 3 irrecvs[2] = new IRrecv(4); // Receiver #2: pin 4 irrecvs[3] = new IRrecv(5); // Receiver #3: pin 5

for (int i = 0; i < RECEIVERS; i++) irrecvs[i]->enableIRIn(); }

void loop() { for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { if (irrecvs[i]->decode(&results)) { Serial.print("Receiver #"); Serial.print(i); Serial.print(":"); Serial.println(results.value, HEX); irrecvs[i]->resume(); } } }`

Let me know if you have any trouble understanding the code. For a good reference, take a look at my "Interactive Tearable Interface" repo (it's not quite finished). I used 4 infrared receivers and 4 transmitters per Arduino.

I put your sketch in the arduino IDE and it compiles well for a arduino pro mini. I understand the code you write. But there is no output on the serial monitor if I send a IR code to the receiver. If I use a example code of the IRremote library on one of the selected io-ports then I get the IR code. Is it possible that I need a different IRremote library? Can you send a link of the IRremote library you are using?

Yep sorry, you need the modified IR Remote library. It's in the Libraries section of my "Interactive Tearable Interface" repo. The correct library you need is IRremote-multi-reciever.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. With some changes to the .ino file, it works perfect. You were very helpful and it was a quick reply.

Best regards Peter
