Receiver not working with Bye Bye Standby 2011 remote but does with old style remote ? #8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Use a Bye Bye Standby 2011 remote to send a key press to my 433Mhz receiver, 
which is connected to an Arduino on a PC.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to see the key pressed displayed on the serial monitor screen 
used in the Arduino IDE.  The software is not detecting any key pressed, so 
there is no output onto the serial monitor window.

I am using your latest download, HomeEasy(updated).zip and currently using 022 
Arduino IDE. I am using Windows XP.

If I use an old remote control ( Model: BBSBRCW, which is from 2008) I get the 
correct data on the serial monitor window showing which key was pressed and is 
displayed as simple protocol. This shows me that my hardware Receiver is 
working correctly.

If I then the press a key on my Bye Bye Standby 2011 remote, I get absolutely 
no data output on the serial monitor window. The remote itself is working 
correctly as I can turn on and off the correct Bye Bye standby plug.

If you have any suggestions or wish me to try out any code I am more than happy 
to try it. Also if you need more information please ask.

Thank you

Regards

Gary

I am using an Arduino Duemilanove and I downloaded the file from your webpage

Gary,

Good to hear people are still using this library - I'd really like to be able 
to get hold of the google code owners so that I can take it on officially 
rather than just in the issue queue!

And I'm particularly happy to hear that the version from issue #6 works on a 
standard arduino as well as the mega (ignoring the problem you state) as I 
don't have one to test it on.

I have uploaded a new version to issue #7 that appears to fix compatibility 
with Arduino 1.0+, so could you please test this?  (I don't think it will make 
any difference to this problem, but it would be good to be sure it works for 
you for the simple protocol).

At the moment, in my own testing, the reliability of my BBSB2011 receiving is 
patchy -- I'm sure when I first added it it was pretty good, so not sure what's 
changed (or maybe just my memory is bad!)  I find that if I repeatedly press a 
key (quite firmly, maybe once a second or so) it will eventually be received 
and print out the expected message.  However this certainly isn't ideal (it is 
basically useless!), so I'll continue having a play around and hopefully 
improve the reliability by modifying the timings.

I'll upload any new versions to this issue.

Regards,
Nathan
