Hello all!
First off, I'm not much aware of workings of remotes and the signal decoding process. So, pardon me if this is a dumb question.
I connected an AX-1838HS IR receiver to the 19th pin of a Mega 2560.
Uploaded the "IRrecvDemo" code.
I got a seemingly random data string (of 8 digits -hex) and a number (3 digits -hex) -which I think is the number I should be concentrating on- repeated 2 to 4 times. All for a one button press (on a Sony remote)
The random number does not appear always.
I added a 250ms delay before resuming the receiver.
At a button press, now only the first received data is shown (naturally). But a random number comes every now and then.
If the time interval between pressing buttons is small, the random data string never seem to come.

Tried a Panasonic remote. Same problem.
Now I can write a code to go around this problem if this is natural, which I doubt. So what is happening? And what should I do?
Thanks. :)
