Digital IR Sonar Code

In creating a simple digital IR detector using an IR LED and Panasonic OR Remote detector, need to drive LED with 38,500 KHz for 0.25 to 1 millisecond, while checking the detector for signal status… I coded the following that uses the GHI Piezo Drive for the IR LEd and Button Driver for the IR Detector. 1) With this code, would the Piezo frequency stay on so the detector would see it, and 2) how could the IR LED "On Time be set less, down to 0.25 ms.

/* Digital IR Sonar

  • uses GHI “Piezo Driver” set for 38,500 hz, for 1 second t(or less) to drive an IR LED on pin
  • Di5
  • uses GHI “Button Driver” to detect state of an IR receiver on pin Di4, every 1/10 sec.

Please use “code” tags so the code is readable

Sorry on the Format. Is this how to do it?

no :frowning:
You need code not quote :slight_smile: Look it your code…isn’t it much easier to read now?
