# Features of the 3.x version
- You can use any pin for sending now, like you are used with receiving.
- Simultaneous sending and receiving. See the [SendAndReceive](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/examples/SendAndReceive/SendAndReceive.ino#L167-L170) example.
- No more need to use 32 bit hex values in your code. Instead a (8 bit) command value is provided for decoding (as well as an 16 bit address and a protocol number).
- Protocol values comply to protocol standards, i.e. NEC, Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and JVC decode and send LSB first.
- Supports more protocols, since adding a protocol is quite easy now.
- Better documentation and more examples :-).
- Compatible with tone() library, see [ReceiveDemo](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/21b5747a58e9d47c9e3f1beb056d58c875a92b47/examples/ReceiveDemo/ReceiveDemo.ino#L159-L169).
- Supports more platforms, since the new structure allows to easily add a new platform.
- Feedback LED also for sending.
- Ability to generate a non PWM signal to just simulate an active low receiver signal for direct connect to existent receiving devices without using IR.
- Easy configuration of protocols required, directly in your [source code](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/examples/SimpleReceiver/SimpleReceiver.ino#L33-L57). This reduces the memory footprint and increases decoding time.
## Converting your 2.x program to the 3.x version
Starting with the 3.1 version, **the generation of PWM for sending is done by software**, thus saving the hardware timer and **enabling arbitrary output pins for sending**.
If you use an (old) Arduino core that does not use the `-flto` flag for compile, you can activate the line `#define SUPPRESS_ERROR_MESSAGE_FOR_BEGIN` in IRRemote.h, if you get false error messages regarding begin() during compilation.
- Now there is an **IRreceiver** and **IRsender** object like the well known Arduino **Serial** object.
- Just remove the line `IRrecv IrReceiver(IR_RECEIVE_PIN);` and/or `IRsend IrSender;` in your program, and replace all occurrences of `IRrecv.` or `irrecv.` with `IrReceiver` and replace all `IRsend` or `irsend` with `IrSender`.
- Since the decoded values are now in `IrReceiver.decodedIRData` and not in `results` any more, remove the line `decode_results results` or similar.
- Like for the Serial object, call [`IrReceiver.begin(IR_RECEIVE_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);`](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/examples/ReceiveDemo/ReceiveDemo.ino#L106)
or `IrReceiver.begin(IR_RECEIVE_PIN, DISABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);` instead of the `IrReceiver.enableIRIn();` or `irrecv.enableIRIn();` in setup(). For sending, call `IrSender.begin(IR_SEND_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);` or `IrSender.begin(IR_SEND_PIN, DISABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);` in setup().
- Old `decode(decode_results *aResults)` function is replaced by simple `decode()`. So if you have a statement `if(irrecv.decode(&results))` replace it with `if (IrReceiver.decode())`.
- The decoded result is now in in `IrReceiver.decodedIRData` and not in `results` any more, therefore replace any occurrences of `results.value` and `results.decode_type` (and similar) to
`IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData` and `IrReceiver.decodedIRData.protocol`.
- Overflow, Repeat and other flags are now in [`IrReceiver.receivedIRData.flags`](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/IRremoteInt.h#L164-L187).
- Seldom used: `results.rawbuf` and `results.rawlen` must be replaced by `IrReceiver.decodedIRData.rawDataPtr->rawbuf` and `IrReceiver.decodedIRData.rawDataPtr->rawlen`.
### Example
#### 2.x program:
```c++
#include
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
void setup()
{
...
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}
void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
...
irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
}
...
}
```
#### 3.x program:
```c++
#include
void setup()
{
...
IrReceiver.begin(IR_RECEIVE_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK); // Start the receiver
}
void loop() {
if (IrReceiver.decode()) {
Serial.println(IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData, HEX);
IrReceiver.printIRResultShort(&Serial); // optional use new print version
...
IrReceiver.resume(); // Enable receiving of the next value
}
...
}
```
## Do not want to convert your 2.x program and use the 3.x library version?
First consider to just use the [original 2.4 release form 2017](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/releases/tag/v2.4.0)
or the last backwards compatible [2.8 version](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/releases/tag/2.8.0) for you project.
It may be sufficient and deals flawlessly with 32 bit IR codes.
If not, the 3.x versions try to be backwards compatible, so you can easily run your old examples. But some functions like e.g. `sendNEC()` -see below- could not made backwards compatible.
The (old and deprecated) call of `irrecv.decode(&results)` uses the old MSB first decoders like in 2.x and sets the 32 bit codes in `results.value`!
But only the following decoders are available then: Denon, JVC, LG, NEC, Panasonic, RC5, RC6, Samsung, Sony.
The old functions `sendNEC()` and `sendJVC()` are deprecated and renamed to `sendNECMSB()` and `sendJVCMSB()`,
to make it clearer that they send data with MSB first, which is not the standard for NEC and JVC.
Use them to send your **old MSB-first 32 bit IR data codes**.
In the new version you will send NEC (and other) commands not by 32 bit codes but by a (constant) 8 bit address and an 8 bit command.
## How to convert old MSB first 32 bit IR data codes to new LSB first 32 bit IR data codes
For the new decoders for **NEC, Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and JVC**, the result `IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData` is now **LSB-first**, as the definition of these protocols suggests!
To convert one into the other, you must reverse the byte/nibble positions and then reverse all bit positions of each byte/nibble or write it as one binary string and reverse/mirror it.
Example:
- 0xCB340102 byte reverse -> 02 01 34 CB. Bit reverse of byte -> 40 80 2C D3.
- 0xCB340102 nibble reverse -> 201043BC. Bit reverse of nibble -> 40802CD3.
Nibble reverse map: | 1->8 | 2->4 | 3->C | 4->2 | 5->A | 6->6 | 7->E | 8->1 | 9->9 | A->5 | B->D | C->3 | D->B | E->7 | F->F |
- 0xCB340102 is binary 11001011001101000000000100000010.
0x40802CD3 is binary 01000000100000000010110011010011.
If you read the first binary sequence backwards (right to left), you get the second sequence.
# Using the new *.hpp files / how to avoid `multiple definitions` linker errors
In order to support [compile options](#compile-options--macros-for-this-library) more easily,
the line `#include ` must be changed to `#include `,
but only in your **main program (aka *.ino file with setup() and loop())**, like it is done in the examples.
In **all other files** you must use
```c++
#define USE_IRREMOTE_HPP_AS_PLAIN_INCLUDE
#include
```
otherwise you will get tons of **"multiple definition"** errors.
Take care that all macros you define in your main program before `#include `,
especially: `RAW_BUFFER_LENGTH`, `IR_SEND_PIN` and `SEND_PWM_BY_TIMER` should also be specified before this special include,
otherwise they are set to default values in *IRremote.hpp*!
# Receiving IR codes
Check for **available data** can be done by `if (IrReceiver.decode()) {`. This also decodes the received data.
After successful decoding, the IR data is contained in the IRData structure, available as `IrReceiver.decodedIRData`.
```c++
struct IRData {
decode_type_t protocol; // UNKNOWN, NEC, SONY, RC5, ...
uint16_t address; // Decoded address
uint16_t command; // Decoded command
uint16_t extra; // Used by MagiQuest and for Kaseikyo unknown vendor ID. Ticks used for decoding Distance protocol.
uint16_t numberOfBits; // Number of bits received for data (address + command + parity) - to determine protocol length if different length are possible.
uint8_t flags; // See IRDATA_FLAGS_* definitions above
uint32_t decodedRawData; // Up to 32 bit decoded raw data, used for sendRaw functions.
irparams_struct *rawDataPtr; // Pointer of the raw timing data to be decoded. Mainly the data buffer filled by receiving ISR.
};
```
To access e.g. the **RAW data**, use `uint32_t myRawdata= IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData;`.
The content of the `IrReceiver.decodedIRData.flags` is described [here](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/IRremoteInt.h#L164-L175).
To **print all fields**, use `IrReceiver.printIRResultShort(&Serial);`.
To print the **raw timing data** received, use `IrReceiver.printIRResultRawFormatted(&Serial, true);`.
## Minimal NEC receiver
For applications only requiring NEC protocol, there is a receiver which has very **small code size of 500 bytes and does NOT require any timer**. See the MinimalReceiver and IRDispatcherDemo example how to use it.
# Sending IR codes
Please do not use the old send*Raw() functions for sending like e.g. `IrSender.sendNECRaw(0xE61957A8,2)`,
even if this functions are used in a lot of **(old)** tutorials. They are only kept for backward compatibility and unsupported and error prone.
**Much better** is to use the **new structured functions** with address and command parameters like e.g. `IrSender.sendNEC(0xA8, 0x19, 2)`.
Especially if you are able to receive these remote codes and get the address and command values.
You will discover that **the address is a constant** and the commands sometimes are sensibly grouped.

# FAQ and hints
- IR does not work right when I use **Neopixels** (aka WS2811/WS2812/WS2812B) or other libraries blocking interrupts for a longer time (> 50 µs).
Whether you use the Adafruit Neopixel lib, or FastLED, interrupts get disabled on many lower end CPUs like the basic Arduinos for longer than 50 µs.
In turn, this stops the IR interrupt handler from running when it needs to.
You can try to wait for the IR receiver to be idle before you send the Neopixel data with `if (IrReceiver.isIdle()) { strip.show();}`. This prevents at least breaking a running IR transmission and -depending of the update rate of the Neopixel- may work quite well.
There are some other solutions to this on more powerful processors,
[see this page from Marc MERLIN](http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2017-04-03_Arduino-328P-Uno-Teensy3_1-ESP8266-ESP32-IR-and-Neopixels.html)
- **Another library** is only working if I deactivate the line `IrReceiver.begin(IR_RECEIVE_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);`. Please see [below](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote#timer-and-pin-usage).
- You can use **multiple IR receiver** by just connecting the output pins of several IR receivers together.
The IR receivers use an NPN transistor as output device with just a 30k resistor to VCC.
This is almost "open collector" and allows connecting of several output pins to one Arduino input pin.
- The **minimal CPU frequency** for receiving is 4 MHz, since the 50 µs timer ISR takes around 12 µs on a 16 MHz ATmega.
- To **increase strength of sent output signal** you can increase the current through the send diode, and/or use 2 diodes in series,
since one IR diode requires only 1.5 volt.
- The line \#include "ATtinySerialOut.h" in PinDefinitionsAndMore.h (requires the library to be installed) saves 370 bytes program memory and 38 bytes RAM for **Digispark boards** as well as enables serial output at 8MHz.
- The default software generated PWM has **problems on AVR running with 8 MHz**. The PWM frequency is around 30 instead of 38 kHz and RC6 is not reliable. You can switch to timer PWM generation by `#define SEND_PWM_BY_TIMER`.
# Handling unknown Protocols
## Disclaimer
**This library was never designed to handle long codes like the ones used by air conditioners.**
For air conditioners [see this fork](https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266) which supports an impressive set of protocols and a lot of air conditioners and the blog entry:
["Recording long Infrared Remote control signals with Arduino"](https://www.analysir.com/blog/2014/03/19/air-conditioners-problems-recording-long-infrared-remote-control-signals-arduino).
The main reason is, that it was designed to fit inside MCUs with relatively low levels of resources
and was intended to work as a library together with other applications which also require some resources of the MCU to operate.
## Protocol=PULSE_DISTANCE
If you get something like this: `PULSE_DISTANCE: HeaderMarkMicros=8900 HeaderSpaceMicros=4450 MarkMicros=550 OneSpaceMicros=1700 ZeroSpaceMicros=600 NumberOfBits=56 0x43D8613C 0x3BC3BC`,
then you have a code consisting of **56 bits**, which is probably from an air conditioner remote.
You can send it with calling sendPulseDistanceWidthData() twice, once for the first 32 bit and next for the remaining 24 bits.
**The PulseDistance or PulseWidth decoders just decode a timing steam to a bit stream**.
They can not put any semantics like address, command or checksum on this bitstream, since it is no known protocol.
But the bitstream is way more readable, than a timing stream. This bitstream is read **LSB first by default**.
If this does not suit you for further research, you can change it [here](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/ir_DistanceProtocol.hpp#L48).
## Protocol=UNKNOWN
If you see something like `Protocol=UNKNOWN Hash=0x13BD886C 35 bits received` as output of e.g. the ReceiveDemo example, you either have a problem with decoding a protocol, or an unsupported protocol.
- If you have an **odd number of bits** received, it is likely, that your receiver circuit has problems. Maybe because the IR signal is too weak.
- If you see timings like `+ 600,- 600 + 550,- 150 + 200,- 100 + 750,- 550` then one 450 µs space was split into two 150 and 100 µs spaces with a spike / error signal of 200 µs between. Maybe because of a defective receiver or a weak signal in conjunction with another light emitting source nearby.
- If you see timings like `+ 500,- 550 + 450,- 550 + 500,- 500 + 500,-1550`, then marks are generally shorter than spaces and therefore `MARK_EXCESS_MICROS` (specified in your ino file) should be **negative** to compensate for this at decoding.
- If you see `Protocol=UNKNOWN Hash=0x0 1 bits received` it may be that the space after the initial mark is longer than [`RECORD_GAP_MICROS`](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/IRremote.h#L124).
This was observed for some LG air conditioner protocols. Try again with a line e.g. `#define RECORD_GAP_MICROS 12000` before the line `#include ` in your ino file.
- To see more info supporting you to find the reason for your UNKNOWN protocol, you must enable the line `//#define DEBUG` in IRremoteInt.h.
## How to deal with protocols not supported by IRremote
If you do not know which protocol your IR transmitter uses, you have several choices.
- Use the [IRreceiveDump example](examples/ReceiveDump) to dump out the IR timing.
You can then reproduce/send this timing with the [SendRawDemo example](examples/SendRawDemo).
For **long codes** with more than 48 bits like from air conditioners, you can **change the length of the input buffer** in [IRremote.h](src/IRremoteInt.h#L36).
- The [IRMP AllProtocol example](https://github.com/ukw100/IRMP#allprotocol-example) prints the protocol and data for one of the **40 supported protocols**.
The same library can be used to send this codes.
- If you have a bigger Arduino board at hand (> 100 kByte program memory) you can try the
[IRremoteDecode example](https://github.com/bengtmartensson/Arduino-DecodeIR/blob/master/examples/IRremoteDecode/IRremoteDecode.ino) of the Arduino library [DecodeIR](https://github.com/bengtmartensson/Arduino-DecodeIR).
- Use [IrScrutinizer](http://www.harctoolbox.org/IrScrutinizer.html).
It can automatically generate a send sketch for your protocol by exporting as "Arduino Raw". It supports IRremote,
the old [IRLib](https://github.com/cyborg5/IRLib) and [Infrared4Arduino](https://github.com/bengtmartensson/Infrared4Arduino).
# Examples for this library
In order to fit the examples to the 8K flash of ATtiny85 and ATtiny88, the [Arduino library ATtinySerialOut](https://github.com/ArminJo/ATtinySerialOut) is required for this CPU's.
### SimpleReceiver + SimpleSender
This examples are a good starting point.
### ReceiveDemo
Receives all protocols and play a beep on each packet received. By connecting pin 5 to ground, you can see the raw values for each packet.
### ReceiveDump
Receives all protocols and dumps the received signal in different flavors. Since the printing takes so much time, repeat signals may be skipped or interpreted as UNKNOWN.
### SendDemo
Sends all available protocols at least once.
### SendAndReceive + UnitTest
ReceiveDemo + SendDemo in one program. **Receiving while sending**.
### ReceiveAndSend
Record and **play back last received IR signal** at button press.
### ReceiveOneAndSendMultiple
Serves as a IR **remote macro expander**. Receives Samsung32 protocol and on receiving a specified input frame, it sends multiple Samsung32 frames with appropriate delays in between.
This serves as a **Netflix-key emulation** for my old Samsung H5273 TV.
### SmallReceiver
If **code size** matters, look at these example.
### MinimalReceiver
The MinimalReceiver example uses the **TinyReceiver** library which can **only receive NEC codes, but does not require any timer**.
MinimalReceiver can be tested online with [WOKWI](https://wokwi.com/arduino/projects/299034264157028877).
Click on the receiver while simulation is running to specify individual IR codes.
### IRDispatcherDemo
Framework for **calling different functions of your program** for different IR codes.
### IRrelay
**Control a relay** (connected to an output pin) with your remote.
### IRremoteExtensionTest
Example for a user defined class, which itself uses the IRrecv class from IRremote.
### SendLGAirConditionerDemo
Example for sending LG air conditioner IR codes controlled by Serial input.
By just using the function `bool Aircondition_LG::sendCommandAndParameter(char aCommand, int aParameter)` you can control the air conditioner by any other command source.
The file *acLG.h* contains the command documentation of the LG air conditioner IR protocol. Based on reverse engineering of the LG AKB73315611 remote.
### ReceiverTimingAnalysis
This example analyzes the signal delivered by your IR receiver module.
Values can be used to determine the stability of the received signal as well as a hint for determining the protocol.
It also computes the `MARK_EXCESS_MICROS` value, which is the extension of the mark (pulse) duration introduced by the IR receiver module.
It can be tested online with [WOKWI](https://wokwi.com/arduino/projects/299033930562011656).
Click on the receiver while simulation is running to specify individual NEC IR codes.
# Issues and discussions
- Do not open an issue without first testing some of the examples!
- If you have a problem, please post the MCVE (Minimal Complete Verifiable Example) showing this problem. My experience is, that most of the times you will find the problem while creating this MCVE :smile:.
- [Use code blocks](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code); **it helps us help you when we can read your code!**
# Compile options / macros for this library
To customize the library to different requirements, there are some compile options / macros available.
These macros must be defined in your program before the line `#include ` to take effect.
Modify them by enabling / disabling them, or change the values if applicable.
| Name | Default value | Description |
|-|-|-|
| `RAW_BUFFER_LENGTH` | 100 | Buffer size of raw input buffer. Must be even! 100 is sufficient for *regular* protocols of up to 48 bits, but for most air conditioner protocols a value of up to 750 is required. Use the ReceiveDump example to find smallest value for your requirements. |
| `IR_SEND_PIN` | disabled | If specified (as constant), reduces program size and improves send timing for AVR. If you want to use a runtime variable send pin e.g. with `setSendPin(uint8_t aSendPinNumber)` , you must disable this macro. |
| `SEND_PWM_BY_TIMER` | disabled | Disable carrier PWM generation in software and use (restricted) hardware PWM. Enabled for ESP32 and RP2040 in all examples. |
| `USE_NO_SEND_PWM` | disabled | Use no carrier PWM, just simulate an **active low** receiver signal. Overrides `SEND_PWM_BY_TIMER` definition. |
| `USE_OPEN_DRAIN_OUTPUT_FOR_SEND_PIN` | disabled | Use or simulate open drain output mode at send pin. **Attention, active state of open drain is LOW**, so connect the send LED between positive supply and send pin! |

### Changing include (*.h) files with Arduino IDE
First, use *Sketch > Show Sketch Folder (Ctrl+K)*.
If you have not yet saved the example as your own sketch, then you are instantly in the right library folder.
Otherwise you have to navigate to the parallel `libraries` folder and select the library you want to access.
In both cases the library source and include files are located in the libraries `src` directory.
The modification must be renewed for each new library version!
### Modifying compile options / macros with PlatformIO
If you are using PlatformIO, you can define the macros in the *[platformio.ini](https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_build.html)* file with `build_flags = -D MACRO_NAME` or `build_flags = -D MACRO_NAME=macroValue`.
### Modifying compile options / macros with Sloeber IDE
If you are using [Sloeber](https://eclipse.baeyens.it) as your IDE, you can easily define global symbols with *Properties > Arduino > CompileOptions*.

We are open to suggestions for adding support to new boards, however we highly recommend you contact your supplier first and ask them to provide support from their side.
If you can provide **examples of using a periodic timer for interrupts** for the new board, and the board name for selection in the Arduino IDE, then you have way better chances to get your board supported by IRremote.
# Timer and pin usage
The **receiver sample interval of 50 µs is generated by a timer**. On many boards this must be a hardware timer, on some, where a software timer is available, the software timer is used.
Every pin can be used for receiving.
The code for the timer and the **timer selection** is located in [private/IRTimer.hpp](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/private/IRTimer.hpp). It can be adjusted here.
**Be aware that the hardware timer used for receiving should not be used for analogWrite()!** See table below.
The MinimalReceiver example uses the **TinyReceiver** library, which can **only receive NEC codes, but does not require any timer**.
The **send PWM signal** is by default generated by software. **Therefore every pin can be used for sending**.
The PWM pulse length is guaranteed to be constant by using `delayMicroseconds()`.
Take care not to generate interrupts during sending with software generated PWM, otherwise you will get jitter in the generated PWM.
E.g. wait for a former `Serial.print()` statement to be finished by `Serial.flush()`.
Since the Arduino `micros()` function has a resolution of 4 µs at 16 MHz, we always see a small jitter in the signal, which seems to be OK for the receivers.

## Incompatibilities to other libraries and Arduino commands like tone() and analogWrite()
If you use a library which requires the same timer as IRremote, you have a problem, since **the timer resource cannot be shared simultaneously** by both libraries.
The best approach is to change the timer used for IRremote, which can be accomplished by modifying the timer selection in [private/IRTimer.hpp](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/private/IRTimer.hpp).
For the AVR platform the code to modify looks like:
```c++
// Arduino Mega
#elif defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
# if !defined(IR_USE_AVR_TIMER1) && !defined(IR_USE_AVR_TIMER2) && !defined(IR_USE_AVR_TIMER3) && !defined(IR_USE_AVR_TIMER4) && !defined(IR_USE_AVR_TIMER5)
//#define IR_USE_AVR_TIMER1 // send pin = pin 11
#define IR_USE_AVR_TIMER2 // send pin = pin 9
//#define IR_USE_AVR_TIMER3 // send pin = pin 5
//#define IR_USE_AVR_TIMER4 // send pin = pin 6
//#define IR_USE_AVR_TIMER5 // send pin = pin 46
# endif
```
You **just have to modify the comments** of the current and desired timer line.
But be aware that the new timer in turn might be incompatible with other libraries or commands.
The modification must be renewed for each new IRremote library version, or you use an IDE like [Sloeber](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote#modifying-compile-options-with-sloeber-ide).
For other platforms you must modify the appropriate section guarded by e.g. `#elif defined(ESP32)`.
Another approach can be to share the timer **sequentially** if their functionality is used only for a short period of time like for the **Arduino tone() command**.
An example can be seen [here](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/21b5747a58e9d47c9e3f1beb056d58c875a92b47/examples/ReceiveDemo/ReceiveDemo.ino#L159-L169), where the timer settings for IR receive are restored after the tone has stopped.
For this we must call IrReceiver.start() or better IrReceiver.start(microsecondsOfToneDuration).
This only works since each call to tone() completely initializes the timer 2 used by the `tone()` command.
## Hardware-PWM signal generation for sending
If you define `SEND_PWM_BY_TIMER`, the send PWM signal is forced to be generated by a hardware timer. The same timer as for the receiver is used.
Since each hardware timer has its dedicated output pins, you must change timer to change PWM output.
The timer and the pin usage can be adjusted in [private/IRTimer.hpp](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/private/IRTimer.hpp).

## Why do we use 30% duty cycle for sending
We do it according to the statement in the [Vishay datasheet](https://www.vishay.com/docs/80069/circuit.pdf):
- Carrier duty cycle 50 %, peak current of emitter IF = 200 mA, the resulting transmission distance is 25 m.
- Carrier duty cycle 10 %, peak current of emitter IF = 800 mA, the resulting transmission distance is 29 m. - Factor 1.16
The reason is, that it is not the pure energy of the fundamental which is responsible for the receiver to detect a signal.
Due to automatic gain control and other bias effects, high intensity of the 38 kHz pulse counts more than medium intensity (e.g. 50% duty cycle) at the same total energy.
## Increase sending power
**The best way to increase the IR power for free** is to use 2 or 3 IR diodes in series. One diode requires 1.1 to 1.5 volt so you can supply 3 diodes with a 5 volt output.
To keep the current for 2 diodes with 1.3 volt and 25 mA and a 5 volt supply, you must reduce the resistor by factor: (5V - 1.3V) / (5V - 2.6V) = 1.5 e.g. from 150 ohm to 100 ohm.
For 3 diodes it requires factor 2.5 e.g. from 150 ohm to 60 ohm.
Or compute it directly with the **U = R * I formula**. Here U is (5V - * 1.3V) at moderate current, at higher currents you must choose more than 1.3 volt. If you want to be exact, you must check the datasheet of your diode for the appropriate **forward voltage fo a given current**.
# How we decode signals
The IR signal is sampled at a **50 µs interval**. For a constant 525 µs pulse or pause we therefore get 10 or 11 samples, each with 50% probability.
And believe me, if you send a 525 µs signal, your receiver will output something between around 400 and 700 µs!
Therefore **we decode by default with a +/- 25% margin** using the formulas [here](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/IRremoteInt.h#L376-L399).
E.g. for the NEC protocol with its 560 µs unit length, we have TICKS_LOW = 8.358 and TICKS_HIGH = 15.0. This means, we accept any value between 8 ticks / 400 µs and 15 ticks / 750 µs (inclusive) as a mark or as a zero space. For a one space we have TICKS_LOW = 25.07 and TICKS_HIGH = 45.0.
And since the receivers generated marks are longer or shorter than the spaces, we have introduced the [`MARK_EXCESS_MICROS` value]/https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote#protocolunknown)
to compensate for this receiver (and signal strength as well as ambient light dependent :disappointed: ) specific deviation. Welcome to the basics of **real world signal processing**.

## Adding new protocols
To add a new protocol is quite straightforward. Best is too look at the existing protocols to find a similar one and modify it.
As a rule of thumb, it is easier to work with a description of the protocol rather than trying to entirely reverse-engineer the protocol.
Please include a link to the description in the header, if you found one.
The **durations** you receive are likely to be longer for marks and shorter for spaces than the protocol suggests,
but this depends on the receiver circuit in use. Most protocols use multiples of one time-unit for marks and spaces like e.g. [NEC](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/ir_NEC.hpp#L62). It's easy to be off-by-one with the last bit, since the last space is not recorded by IRremote.
Try to make use of the template functions `decodePulseDistanceData()` and `sendPulseDistanceData()`.
If your protocol supports address and code fields, try to reflect this in your api like it is done in [`sendNEC(uint16_t aAddress, uint8_t aCommand, uint_fast8_t aNumberOfRepeats, bool aIsRepeat)`](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/ir_NEC.hpp#L96)
and [`decodeNEC()`](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/ir_NEC.hpp#L194).
### Integration
To integrate your protocol, you need to extend the two functions `decode()` and `getProtocolString()` in *IRreceice.hpp*,
add macros and function declarations for sending and receiving and extend the `enum decode_type_t` in *IRremote.h*.
And at least it would be wonderful if you can provide an example how to use the new protocol.
A detailed description can be found in the [ir_Template.hpp](https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote/blob/master/src/ir_Template.hpp#L11) file.
### Creating API documentation
To generate the API documentation, Doxygen, as well as [Graphviz](http://www.graphviz.org/) should be installed.
(Note that on Windows, it is useful to specify the installer to add Graphviz to PATH or to do it manually.
With Doxygen and Graphviz installed, issue the command
`doxygen` from the command line in the main project directory, which will
generate the API documentation in HTML format.
The just generated `docs/index.html` can now be opened in a browser.
