arduino program runs only at start up - arduino

Question

My arduino program runs only when on start up or when i press the reset button, i dont know the problem as i am a new bee into this. Please need help.
i have some constants here for the remote control, and i am just trying to replicate what i am sending through the arduino ir led, every thing works fine except that the program runs only once.
#include <IRremote.h> // use the library
#define PanasonicAddress 0x4004 // Panasonic address (Pre data)
#define PanasonicPower 0x100BCBD // Panasonic Power button
#define PanasonicZero 0x1009899 // Panasonic button
#define PanasonicOne 0x1000809 // Panasonic button
#define PanasonicTwo 0x1008889 // Panasonic button

Answer 1

You should just check for receiving the repeat codes (0xFFFFFF) and just ignore this code. And just issue the resume command just once. You may be accidently skipping the valid codes.
Also, you need to issue a resume after transmitting IR (as tx disables rx).
This last one is probably the issue for you.
Hope it helps
may be worth putting in a delay before re-tx as the tx may overlap the repeat codes
For anyone interested in IR protocols - we have just launched a project for AnalysIR - IR Decoder & Analyzer GUI (Arduino & Raspberry Pi). Currently we support 17 IR protocols and are looking for more to add as part of the campaign. Suggestions Welcome!
If the project is successful, we hope to add support for Raspberry Pi !
