Hi Ken (or anyone who may be able to help),

I am a newbie to both Arduino and IR remote codes.

I purchased the Android "Smart IR Remote" application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy) to create a Universal Controller for all my devices at home. However, there are some remotes that need to be "learnt" as the remotes do not exist in the "Smart IR Remote" database.

Smart IR Remote allows you to "learn" codes only by programming/entering the pronto hex codes for each command

I have your IR Remote libray on my Arduino and I am successfully reading my remote controls and outputting the results to the serial monitor as per your code.

Question 1:
Is it possible to change the serial output to Pronto Hex Format? If so, can you help me with the code for this or point me to an existing library?

Question 2:
On some remotes, pressing the same button, does not always result in the same set of raw data. Why would this be? I get the impression that it may be a "scrambled" signal. Or is this just inaccuracies in the sensitivity or resolution of the IR sensor?

Regards
Mike
