Need help with my IR project

Hi everyone, I am new to this website, if I post it at the wrong place,please understand,sorry.

my problem here is I current working on a Infrared control car project as part of my school work, but somehow I could not get the Infrared reciver working.

Detail:

For the car control I used a picaxe 08M; For the car I used picaxe 18x with the infrared reciver (don't know the model,but this is what is behind the component '1B79 68A')

the control works fine, but just that reciver wont get any infrain from it, the control even work find with my laptop(I used it as tryout to control my laptop to watch TV)

here is the code for me to tryout:

infrain2

main:

debug infra

goto main

it is going into the picaxe pin 17 as infra pin and input pin 0

can someone help me with the code how to debug it or get it work?

P.S when i debug with the code above,it just show up a debug windows and said debug(waiting...).

thanks for help and sorry for bad english, I am in a rush so yea, thanks again.

simple problem
You need the infrain inside of the main code loop. Right now, the code only sees the infrain once, when it starts-up…

it still the same,the new

it still the same,

the new code i just put in:

main:

infrain

debug infra

goto main

the infra debug and other stillnothing show up

infrain/ infrain2
Double check your model of picaxe chip… O8, 08m etc. You may need the infrain2 command. If it is a 18x or 18x1 is probably irin instead. Just to be sure, you are using a 3-pin IR receiver with the cap and resistors attached, right?

Thanks for helping, I got it

Thanks for helping, I got it working now,

but I dont know why, I can’t reciver any Infra greater than 4… with infrain2

here is the code I use in 08M as control:

main:
b1=0
low 1
readadc 4,b4
’debug b4
’goto main

if b4 < 193 then forwardleft
if b4 < 206 then cforward
if b4 < 215 then forwardright
if b4 < 173 then backwardleft
if b4 < 130 then cbackward
if b4 < 3 then backwardright

goto main

forwardleft:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,1
pause 45
next b1
goto main

cforward:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,2
pause 45
next b1
goto main

forwardright:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,3
pause 45
next b1
goto main

backwardleft:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,4
pause 45
next b1
goto main

cbackward:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,5
pause 45
next b1
goto main

backwardright:
high 1
for b1 = 1 to 10
infraout 1,6
pause 45
next b1
goto main

It can only reciver 1,2,3,when it up to 4,5,6,it will jst be 1

help please, I need to hand it in on Monady
