Enhancement request: IRremote event source for arduino

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Arduino's event source is good to start project but may be good idea to have 
some choice?

for instance I wrote this one, its work well but may be it is possible to use 
your library's pin-key mapping to develop common case:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <IRremote.h>

int RECV_PIN = 11;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;

uint8_t m2_es_arduino_ir(m2_p ep, uint8_t msg) {
  switch(msg)
  {
    case M2_ES_MSG_GET_KEY:
      if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
        irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
        switch(results.value) {
          case 0xFFC23D:
            return M2_KEY_SELECT;
          case 0xFFB04F:
            return M2_KEY_EXIT;
          case 0xFF02FD:
            return M2_KEY_NEXT;
          case 0xFF22DD:
            return M2_KEY_PREV;
          case 0xFF0000:
            return M2_KEY_DATA_UP;
          case 0xFF0001:
            return M2_KEY_DATA_DOWN;
          default:
            return M2_KEY_NONE;
         }
      }
    default:
      return 0;
  }
} 
--------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW: I have disable key debouncing in library. Without that this event provider 
do not works properly.

thanks for sharing the code.
Have you tried to put M2_KEY_EVENT() around the returned key values?
This will also disable the debouncing (however it was not fully tested by me).
So, for example use
  return M2_KEY_EVENT(M2_KEY_SELECT);
for all keys except M2_KEY_NONE

About M2_KEY_EVENT(): it should work instead of patching key provider. Thanks 
for pointing on this.

Will check m2esarduinoir.c as soon as reassembly my device, I hope its takes 
1-2 days.

Thanks!

Unfortunately m2esarduinoir.c cannot be compile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In file included from 
C:\ssw\arduino-0023\libraries\M2tklib\utility\m2esarduinoir.c:17:
C:\ssw\arduino-0023\libraries\IRremote/IRremote.h:24: error: expected '=', ',', 
';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'decode_results'

C:\ssw\arduino-0023\libraries\M2tklib\utility\m2esarduinoir.c:21: error: 
expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'irrecv'

...  some more errors ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like IRremote.h cannot be included in that context correctly. I have no 
idea how arduino IDE call gcc, so I can't pass any options to the compiler.

But good new is: m2esarduinoir.c works well and may used by people as usefull 
example to create custom IR event source.

Thanks for the feedback, however, due to your compile problem, i reopend this 
issue again. 

Next step: Find reason for compiler problem. I will try to do this for the next 
release. But maybe you also have an idea.

moved the .c file to a subfolder (because all examples are broken  because of 
the missing .h file)

I will close this for now...

I have put the content of m2esarduinoir.c into an M2tklib example file.
After finetuning it compiles (Visual Studio IDE) and works on my arduino mega 
2560 with my Emtec RC.
