Step 3Clean up your Pulse Codes
The raw pulse codes come out a little messy for what we want to do with them so we need to clean them up.
1) Copy/Paste your raw codes into an empty Notepad (or similar) Doc and Label them 0 through 9.
2) The first pulse (large red circles in the Serial Monitor picture) is a sort of warm up for the IR LED so you want to delete it.
3) Then move on and delete any negative (-) signs you see in your pulses (small red circles in the Serial Monitor picture)
4) Go through your code and delete all the spaces leaving a coma (,) between each pulse.
Your finished pulses should look nice and clean like the string of pulses pictured in my code.

I am using 0021 and an Uno . I read some more on line and in the end copied into Hyperterminal. I didn't copy it right ( it was late at night) so the code didn't work right. I will try again and keep you posted .
I also wanted to compliment you on your step by step approach to putting a project like this together and testing it as you go along...very wise! It also makes it much easier to trouble shoot each step as opposed to when the project is complete and a puff of magic smoke is all there is to show for it.
Thumbs up and bravo,

Also, thank you for the kind words.
Yea Team!
Arduino coupled with good instructables ( and teachers!) make for awesome learning.
Many Thanks!

Thanks for your help with this as i was able to to decode my Sherwood RC-119 remote by disconnecting pin 11 every time I seen the NEC 32 bit code come up on the serial monitor.

It should work just like copying something from a normal word document, just highlight everything and Ctrl+C it, then go over to your notepad doc and Ctrl+V.
