storage problem

Question

I made a Arduino program to control my air conditioner(model:GREE Lomo) by PC. I download IRremote library from here for that.

#include "IRremote.h"
IRsend irsend;
int irPin = 3; // pin IR led
int khz = 38; // 38kHz carrier frequency for the NEC protocol
const unsigned int irSignalOn[] = {8972, 4492, 644, 1664, 640, 564, 644, 564, 640, 1668, 636, 568, 640, 1664, 644, 560, 644,

i got an error for arduino uno : Global variables use 2080 bytes (101%) of dynamic memory, leaving -32 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

how can i fix it?

EDIT 07/26:

I know with board like ATmega2560 problem will fix but I want use Arduino uno.

I tried to save my data at program memory but I don't know how to read that.

• Edgar Bonet: Search "PROGMEM".
• Juraj: arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/54150/…
• jsotola: what make and model of air conditioner?
• jsotola: the signal data could be greatly reduced .... techdocs.altium.com/display/FPGA/…
• Edgar Bonet: Re "I don't know how to read that": 1. Search the Web for "Arduino PROGMEM", or "AVR PROGMEM". 2. Carefully read the resources you find, and try for yourself. 3. If you still can't after having given a genuine effort, then post here another question.

Answer 1

A solution is to move the tables into program memory (aka PROGMEM). Use the below:

const unsigned int irSignalOn[] PROGMEM = {
 ...
};

And modify the call to sendRaw() to sendRaw_P().

irsend.sendRaw_P(irSignalOn, sizeof(irSignalOn) / sizeof(irSignalOn[0]), khz);

For more information see the library documentation.

Cheers!

• Morteza: i used shirriff's IRremote library and compiler don't find sendRaw_P function ?
• Mikael Patel: @MortezaMirzai Please update your question with all relevant information.

Answer 2

not an answer

please try this

let me know if it turns on the A/C when you press 1

#include "IRremote.h"
IRsend irsend;
int irPin = 3; // pin IR led
int khz = 38; // 38kHz carrier frequency for the NEC protocol
void setup() {
 pinMode(irPin, OUTPUT);
 Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
 if (Serial.available() > 0) {
 char letter = Serial.read();
 if (letter == '1') {
 irsend.sendNEC(0x4A08D3052, 35);
 irsend.sendNEC(0x64040002, 32);
 irsend.sendNEC(0x4A08D3032, 35);
 irsend.sendNEC(0x0015888D, 32);
 irsend.sendNEC(0x4A08D3072, 35);
 irsend.sendNEC(0x00000C0C, 32);
 Serial.println("ON");
 }
 }
}

• Morteza: I test that but it don't work. (maybe my fault) and compiler give a warning.
• jsotola: that's it? .... compiler give a warning .... nothing about the warning? .... do you want help or not?
• Morteza: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] irsend.sendNEC(0x4A08D3052, 35)

Answer 3

One can also jump to a Atmega1284P based board, with it's 16K of SRAM, 8x that of a '328P's 2K and 2x that of the Mega's 8K. Dual hardware serial ports too if your project should need one.

• dandavis: or an esp8266 for cheaper and with 4X the ram and dozens of times the flash...
• CrossRoads: But limited to 3.3V operation, and I think much less current capability on the IO, if the project needs that.
