send IR signal to AC

[rania-elqadi]

hello everyone , i'm trying to control my AC split unit using arduino and IR LED (using windows 10)
first i used the sketch to get the IR codes for ON and OFF button at 25 degree cold mode :
ON button : Decoded NEC: 9E90040A (32 bits)
Raw (74): 8900 ,4400 750 ,1500 650 ,550 650 ,550 650 ,1600 700 ,1550 700 ,1600 650 ,1600 700 ,500 700 ,1550 650 ,550 650 ,500 650 ,1650 650 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,550 700 ,450 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,1600 700 ,500 650 ,550 700 ,500 650 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,1600 650 ,550 650 ,1600 700 ,500 650 ,550 650 ,1600 650 ,550 650

the OFF button : Decoded NEC: 8E90040A (32 bits)
Raw (74): 8900 ,4400 800 ,1450 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,550 650 ,1600 700 ,1550 650 ,1650 650 ,500 700 ,1600 700 ,450 700 ,500 700 ,1550 650 ,550 650 ,550 650 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,1600 650 ,550 650 ,550 650 ,500 700 ,500 700 ,500 650 ,500 700 ,1600 700 ,450 700 ,1600 650 ,550 650 ,500 700 ,1600 700 ,450 700

then i tried to send those codes using irsend but there is no response from the AC and i make it sure that the IR LED is working( using my cell phone camera )
(NOTE: the remote is YB1F2 type )
please help my
thanks in advance.

Your first signal decodes as a GREE 32 bit AC signal on our AnalysIR application.

I have cleaned up the timings as below, using the 'clean' feature of AnalysIR.

irsend.sendRaw(Signal_0_0, sizeof(Signal_0_0)/sizeof(int), khz); //AnalysIR Batch Export (IRremote) - RAW

For the second signal & others you can simply adjust the timings as above, for better performance. (It probably needs to be cleaned up)
PS: It is just a coincidence (or false positive) that IRremote decoded to the correct HEX values. It is not an NEC signal.

thanks for your quick reply , i tried the modified signal that you has sent it to me but it doesn't work . after while , i used the arduino sketch mentioned in the below link to get my raw signal
https://www.analysir.com/blog/2014/03/1 ... s-arduino/
it gives me the signals as :

and i'm tried to send those signal to my AC but still no action occur , what should i do ?

OK, that shows more info.

This time it is detected an ELECTROLUX67_134AC....now that the second part of the signal was captured.

yours is a 67 bit signal

try your first signal as below....

Author: AnalysIR
Revision: 1.0 - Initial release
Revision: 1.1 - update generic digitalPinToInterrupt to support most arduino platform

This code is provided to overcome an issue with Arduino IR libraries
It allows you to capture raw timings for signals longer than 255 marks & spaces.
Typical use case is for long Air conditioner signals.

You can use the output to plug back into IRremote, to resend the signal.

[AnalysIR]

OK thanks.

I meant to ask for the sending sketch (sorry), please post this.

Based on what you posted, the most likely thing is the IR emitter circuit.
Driving the IR emitter directly from an Arduino GPIO pin will work, but the range will be quite short.
You should be able to safely drop the resistor to 68R...but never leave out the resistor. (There is a post on our blog about this)

Suggestions:
- bring the IR LED close to the AC unit's receiver & point the top of the LED directly at the AC receiver.
- Consider using a transistor to drive the IR LED which will work much better (example on our blog or via web search).
Alternatively check out the solutions/modules in our online shop.

[AnalysIR]

OK just add a delay(10000); at the end of the loop.

Otherwise you are continually sending the same signal which will be rejected as noise by the IR receiver & AC unit.

Also, if you are sending ON...make sure the AC is actually OFF, as nothing will happen is it is already ON
