I’m super happy today, because I got IR remote control working with Xronos clock!\u00a0 Thanks to this IR library<\/a>, that was pretty easy task. Library worked out of the box for ATMega644p\/1284p (well actually only on 1284p, but more on this later).
\nI figured out a “hack” to add function for remote control that doesn’t affect any other clock code! See details after break.<\/p>\n

\/\/ ===================================================================

\nvoid IR_process () {
\nif (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
\nswitch (results.value) {
\ncase IR_ON:
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+ BOUNCE_TIME_BUTTON;
\nprocessMenuButton();
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_PLUS:
\nSerial.println (“Recieved PLUS”);
\ndecrement=false;
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+ BOUNCE_TIME_BUTTON;
\nprocessIncButton();
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_MINUS:
\nSerial.println (“Recieved MINUS”);
\ndecrement=true;
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+ BOUNCE_TIME_BUTTON;
\nprocessIncButton();
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_UP:
\nSerial.println (“Recieved UP”);
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+ BOUNCE_TIME_BUTTON;
\nprocessSetButton();
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_DOWN:
\nSerial.println (“Recieved DOWN”);
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+ BOUNCE_TIME_BUTTON;
\nprocessSetButton();
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_ENTER:
\nSerial.println (“Recieved ENTER”);
\nbreak;
\ncase IR_MUTE: \/\/ Start Talk function
\nSerial.println (“Recieved MUTE”);
\nlastButtonTime=millis()+BOUNCE_TIME_QUICK;
\nbuttonReleased=true;
\nlast_ms=millis();
\nquickDisplay();<\/p>\n

break;<\/p>\n

\/\/Serial.println(results.value, HEX);<\/p>\n

}
\nirrecv.resume(); \/\/ Receive the next value
\n}
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

IR_ON, IR_PLUS, etc are preset IR HEX codes that I got back by running
\nSerial.println(results.value, HEX);\u00a0<\/em>
\nFor example:
\n#define IR_ON\u00a0 0x17E18E7 <\/em>
\nIt can be adopted to any remote!<\/p>\n

And then I went further and added “decrement” functionality, so now with remote you can increase or decrease items (i.e. hours, minutes, etc.).<\/p>\n

It works fairly well, although there’s some lag as clock now have to process a lot more information.<\/p>\n

Bad news is, it now doesn’t work with ATMega644p chip at all because IR library eats a lot of RAM. But no issues with ATMega1284p. I might tweak IR library to make it smaller, after all I don’t need to send any IR codes, only receive..<\/p>\n

Additionally I figured there’s a room in current enclosure to attach IR receiver, however faceplate will block it, so it will need to be modified \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
