IR: Custom Messages

[_Nate_]

So I'm trying to get my Arduino UNO to send IR messages to my Nanos, but all is not going according to plan. I have an IR receiver attached to my nano and the transmitter on my uno, but I'm stuck. I want to send signals from the uno to the nano and use it as some sort of remote. Here is my code:

Transmitter:

#include <IRremote.h>
IRsend irsend;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
irsend.sendNEC(0xAA00AA, 32); // What args do I use here?
Serial.println("Sending Message...");
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
delay(750);
}


Receiver:

#include <IRremote.h>
IRrecv irrecv(8);
decode_results results;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(8,INPUT);
irrecv.enableIRIn();
}

void loop() {
Serial.println("Attempting Read...");
if(irrecv.decode(&results))
switch(results.value){
Serial.println(results.value);
}
delay(500);
}

My main question is, in the transmitter code, what code exactly do I transmit? Right now, while this code is running, the nano does not print the results of the code sent.

Hi Nate,
It is always helpful to supply things like a link to your project so others can see what you are dealing with.

I have an inkling you may be jumping in midstream instead of doing it from the start, hence the confusion on your part.

However, I took a quick peek on Github and found some info that might be of some assistance to you in the meantime.

Thanks! I did give some info on the project and all the code. I'm trying to get info on one specific part of it: being able to send custom commands over an ir signal.

Edit: I did look over the link you sent and I have read the information. Still, there is nothing about what code you are supposed to transmit for a home-made receiver.

Still haven't found the answer... anyone?

Sadly, this is only for communication of the serial port. I'm trying to use the IR transmitter and receiver for the most practical use, yet there is nothing I can find on it. I don't want to use a random IR tv remote to control things, I want to use my arduino as the remote to control another arduino.
