November 6th, Turning Motor On and Off With an IR Receiver

What We Wanted to Accomplish:

I order to create the hovercraft we must have a way to turn on the fan that will blow air into the supporting skirt of the hovercraft.  We wanted to see if we could turn on the motor using an IR Receiver and a remote.  After many changes to the code we final accomplished the task.  

Here is a Picture of the Setup Board: 

Here is a Video of the Motor and IR Receiver in Action: 

Here is a sample of the code:  

	/*

	#include <IRremote.h>
	int RECV_PIN = 12;
	int LED = 13;
	const int motorPin=6;
	IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
	decode_results results;
	void setup()
	{
	Serial.begin(9600);
	irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
	pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
	pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
	}
	void loop()
	{
	if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
	Serial.println(results.value);
	irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
	if (results.value == 3843267751 || results.value == 2891014758 || results.value ==4294967295)
	{
	digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);
	digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
	delay(100);
	}
	if (results.value == 2907792379 || results.value == 3826490130)
	{
	digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);
	digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
	delay(100);
	}
	}
	}
