Hello.
I have read in the documentation that different remotes can be used provided that the code of each key is identified, dfor example by using the IR.ino code in the test section. I bought a different module than the recommended by mistake, and I am trying to use it. To do so I have installed that code and checked for the codes. SOme of them look ok, but sometimes the code is negative... and sometimes there are more than one that appear... Is that normal? I don't think it is going to work with those extrange codes...
Cheers

It is always easier and quicker if one gets the recommended parts.
Yes, decoding the correct keys can be an issue.
generally, you need to press the same button multiple times. Do hold hold the button down, If you hold a button down then the remote will also send repeat codes which tend to muddle things up.
In addition the controller has to generate codes based on the NEC protocol - if the remote you are using does not do that you will get random codes which are meaningless.
Considering the remotes are like $1 cost is not an issue here.
