Hello, I'm trying to develop a simple infrared remote-control transmitter, using an ATmega88A, assembler and the NEC modulation (please see https://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/IRMP_-_english#NEC_+_extended_NEC for details on that). My program isn't working correctly yet – after testing with a receiver failed, I connected a red LED to the output which produced the result that can be seen in the attached video: the LED blinks, but the transmission stretches out for circa one second, which is far too long – an NEC transmission should take about 60 ms. I initially suspected wrong timer settings, but couldn't find any error. After reading through my code again and again, I decided to post it here in the hope that someone might have a look at it and maybe find the problem. Thank you in advance for any help. Best regards – Johannes

Because with that you can determine the real pulse times and check it against the mentioned https://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/IRMP_-_english#NEC_+_extended_NEC and find out the factor your timing is wrong. When its "fairly ecacxt" the factor 8 you shuld check the correct setting of the clkdiv8 fuse in your AVR.

I used the UART successfully with the same hardware directly before I flashed the current program, so the clock frequency has to be correct.
(Wilhelm M. - are you watching?) Well now how about that?:
1 | ldi temp0, 1<<WGM12 ; CTC mode |
2 | xout TCCR1A, temp0 |
WGM12 resides in TCCR1B.

I corrected that and, in addition, another error (forgot to clear the COM0A0 bit of TCCR0A in the ir_carrierOff macro, which caused the LED not to be switched off at the end of every other transmission). Now, it works perfectly. Again, S. L., thanks for your help! Have a nice evening, – Johannes
