Not receiving after sending an IR signal

[FreibeuterOH]

Hello,
your sensor is working very well with my FHEM :-)
Sending and receiving is is working stable.
But after sending an IR signal i need to reset the Nano by hand to receive again.

Hello,
thanks for reporting. Nice to hear sombody's using this as well!

As I didn't do anything on the code since ages, and also got all my necessary codes stored in FHEM, I didn't realize there beeing a problem. Most likely it would be best to change the code towards a interrupt-driven receiver function, using https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/IRLib/blob/master/examples/IRanalyze/IRanalyze.ino as a base.

Do you have the option to change wiring for use of PIN 2 instead of 8? (second interrupt-PIN is already in use for sending).

Then you might try modified code here: https://github.com/rejoe2/Mysensors-IR/tree/Interrupt-driven and report back.

Kind regards.

Did some tests wrt to this issue. Some findings:

• Bug was already there on my original 2.0.0-beta-Node
• Same behaviour when using MySensors 2.2.0-beta.
• Reinitialisation of irreceive in MySensors-Receive is/was not implemented correctly. Should be My_Receiver.enableIRIn(); (see e.g. http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=20794.msg153655#msg153655). Call should also be within the if (message.type == V_IR_SEND) {} subsection.

Unfortunately, changing the code accordingly didn't lead to a different behaviour. So this is either a incompability between MySensors and IRlib (imo not likely) or a bug in G. Staple's version of IRlib.

As I found out, Arduino-IRremote may be an appropriate replacement under active development, I will next check, if using this library instead is a big effort or can be done easily.
