I have followed the steps in the guide on the product page and have programmed the device with the IRcontroller firmware. The device functions properly, except that the IR emitter seems to be sending superfluous data and it’s jamming the receiver. I have also tried setting the option “holdRecieve” to true, which should prevent this. But then it simply stops receiving IR data altogether. Hoe do I stop the IR emitter from sending this data that should not be sent. That is that I am not even requesting the device to send IR signals.
I suspect that the IR emmiter is blinking instead of the on board LED, but I don’t know how to fix this.
I’ve de-soldered and re-soldered the IR receiver and transmitter. I’ve also checked the traces and my soldering job for any solder bridges. The only thing that I found was some flux, so I removed it with flux remover. I’m still having this issue. The receiver seems to be reading a signal when an LED on my Beefy 3 FTDI. I thought that it may be causing some interference, so I connected a USB cable to the Vin and GND pins so that I could exclude the Beefy 3 as a reason. The problem still persisted. Additionally, the Green LED should be lighting up, but it is not. I only get it to work when I upload the generic Arduino Blinky program.
