Decode aircon IR with moteino?
Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2015 6:56 am
I have some moteino ( http://lowpowerlab.com/moteino/ ) units which have the following specs:
Flash Memory 32 KB of which 1 KB used by DualOptiboot bootloader *
SRAM 2 KB
EEPROM 1 KB
I have been using them successfully for home automation monitoring but would now like to use them for changing my air conditioner - turning temperature up in the middle of the night then turning it off at 7am.
I have an IR receiver and was playing with the http://www.righto.com/2009/08/multi-pro ... brary.html library and can see data:
4650 -2400 400 -350 400 -900 400 -900 400 -300 450 -850 450 -300 400 -300 450 -300 400 -300 450 -900 400 -300 400 -350 400 -900 400 -300 400 -350 400 -300 450 -850 450 -850 450 -300 400 -300 450 -300 400 -350 400 -850 450 -300 400 -350 400 -300 400 -350 400 -300 450 -300 400 -900 400 -300 450 -300 400 -350 400 -300 400 -350 400 -300 400 -900 400 -350 400 -300 450 -300 400 -900 400 -900 400 -900 400 -300 450 -850 450 -300 400 -350 400 -300 400 -350
However, it was pretty complicated to figure out what was happening so I bought AnalysIR. However, I can't get any data to be shown on my serial monitor when I use it with the same hardware setup as works with the above library. What I see on the serial port is:
!AnalysIR!
!Free RAM: 131!
So, my question is - does the Moteino have enough RAM to show airconditioner IR? The length of their messages is pretty long - over 100 bytes. Is this free RAM message a warning saying that it isn't going to work? Or just for informational purposes? I have a proper Arduino in the mail but thought I would try to learn more while it is on the way.
