DIYables IR Controller - DIYables_IRcontroller_21.getKey()

Description

Check if there is a key pressed on 21-key IR remote controller and received by IR receiver.

Syntax

Key21 getKey();

Parameters

None

Return

  • Key21::NONE: if there is no key presed on IR controller and received by IR receiver.
  • One of the following values corresponding with the key on the IR remote controller:
    • Key21::KEY_CH_MINUS
    • Key21::KEY_CH
    • Key21::KEY_CH_PLUS
    • Key21::KEY_PREV
    • Key21::KEY_NEXT
    • Key21::KEY_PLAY_PAUSE
    • Key21::KEY_VOL_MINUS
    • Key21::KEY_VOL_PLUS
    • Key21::KEY_EQ
    • Key21::KEY_100_PLUS
    • Key21::KEY_200_PLUS
    • Key21::KEY_0
    • Key21::KEY_1
    • Key21::KEY_2
    • Key21::KEY_3
    • Key21::KEY_4
    • Key21::KEY_5
    • Key21::KEY_6
    • Key21::KEY_7
    • Key21::KEY_8
    • Key21::KEY_9
  • Key21::UNKNOWN: if it received a key that is not from the 21-key IR remote controller
