This is my first post.
When I use the following sketch, I get case error messages. "DISH was not delared in this scope".
I'm sure it is not too difficult to rectify and would appreciate a pointer in right direction

@enigmajd First look at the HELP to learn how to post code.
That kind of error is usually a missing library. Either re-read the article you are copying again to get the instructions or if you can't see it post a link to it here.

Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Hi @enigmajd,
Ron (@zander) is right in saying that it is much easier if you post code properly ... and I might add, I also appreciate web links to articles that you are relying on,
... but these are all things we learn about, occasionally by fortunately reading all the right stuff first, but usually by getting it wrong first time and fixing on the 2nd or 3rd attempt ... 🙄 🤔
As a useful hint, before you hit ADD REPLY, use the Save Draft and Preview buttons just below the ADD REPLY button, to check if what will be posted looks the same as you hoping for ...
--------
The article you are using is Demonstration 2 on https://dronebotworkshop.com/using-ir-remote-controls-with-arduino/
I have only spent a few moments looking at this, and I haven't tried doing it myself, but my first thought would be the compiler hasn't found the include file, referenced at about line 8:
// Include IR Remote Library by Ken Shirriff#include <IRremote.h>
If my guess is right, you should see an error message to that effect ... hopefully (but not necessarily) it will be the first error message, as errors are usually reported as the compiler reads through the program file.
If there is an error message indicating it couldn't find the .h file, the most likely reason is something went wrong when you tried to install that library, which Bill describes as part of the introduction to Demonstration 1. I would recommend you carefully go back through that part of the set up and try again, taking particular note of what Bill says in the video, and also in the accompanying text on this website. A common mistake with Arduino libraries is to choose the wrong library ... there are sometimes more than one with rather similar descriptions.
------
On a good day, you will find the problem on a second attempt ... but most days life isn't that kind, so please have a go and report what you find.
If you still have errors, paste that as well (maybe screenshot if it doesn't let you copy and paste) ... if it is a long listing, then just the first 2 or 3 error messages is often enough.
Good luck,
Dave

@enigmajd In Bill's article it says (SEE ATTACHED PIC1) and I highlight the part that goes
look for “IR Remote by Shirriff”
which will result in PIC2.
