I am working on my final year project and I've got a problem to which I cannot find an answer. I tried decoding the infrared signals for my air conditioning. I have decoded both raw and hex, both using Arduino and Raspberry PI (LIRC), but my air conditioning does not turn on when I send the signals. AC Brand is Acson. What I am doing I think it's correct because my TV turns on and off when I send the decoded signals. I also tried sending the raw codes at different frequencies (36 kHz, 38, 40, 433....). None of them seems to be working. Please help me......
These are the raw codes for the turn on/off button (they are changing every time):

This is the code I used for the decoding part:
int RECV_PIN = 2;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
//#define RAWBUF 255
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}
// Dumps out the decode_results structure.
// Call this after IRrecv::decode()
// void * to work around compiler issue
//void dump(void *v) {
// decode_results *results = (decode_results *)v
void dump(decode_results *results) {
int count = results->rawlen;
if (results->decode_type == UNKNOWN) {
Serial.print("Unknown encoding: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == NEC) {
Serial.print("Decoded NEC: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == SONY) {
Serial.print("Decoded SONY: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == RC5) {
Serial.print("Decoded RC5: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == RC6) {
Serial.print("Decoded RC6: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == PANASONIC) {
Serial.print("Decoded PANASONIC - Address: ");
Serial.print(" Value: ");
}
else if (results->decode_type == JVC) {
Serial.print("Decoded JVC: ");
}
Serial.print(results->value, HEX);
Serial.print(" (");
Serial.print(results->bits, DEC);
Serial.println(" bits)");
Serial.print("Raw (");
Serial.print(count, DEC);
Serial.print("): ");
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
if ((i % 2) == 1) {
Serial.print(results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
}
else {
Serial.print(-(int)results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
}
Serial.print(" ");
}
Serial.println("");
}
void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
dump(&results);
irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
}
}
And this one is for sending raw signals to AC:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
// send variable sonyPower in length 31 at 40 Khz
irsend.sendRaw(turnOff,131,433);
delay(3000);
}
}
UPDATE
I got this info using IrLib...
