I tried running the code with Circuitpython in a Pi Pico W and it doesn't work

[mr-pepe69]

the code i used instead was:

import pulseio
import board
import adafruit_irremote
pulsein = pulseio.PulseIn(board.GP0, maxlen=120, idle_state=True)
decoder = adafruit_irremote.GenericDecode()
but1 = "(255, 0, 93, 162)"
while True:
    pulses = decoder.read_pulses(pulsein)
    print("Heard", len(pulses), "Pulses:", pulses) 
    try:

        code = decoder.decode_bits(pulses)
        codestr = str(code)
        print("Decoded:", code)
        if codestr == but1:
            print('uwu')
        else:
            print('no')
        
    except adafruit_irremote.FailedToDecode:  # unusual short code!
        print("NEC repeat!")
        continue
    except adafruit_irremote.IRDecodeException as e:     # failed to decode
        print("Failed to decodeunu: ", e.args)
        continue
    print("----------------------------")

i trully don't understand why changing the except made it to work (i also added a couple things to make it usefull. not good code, but does the trick) i'm kinda new to this, so if there is something needed just tell me. (i read the except from the source code and i got the example from there too.)

Can you post the exact code that causes problems, for comparison?

i can also add the part of the source code that i used to fix the problem if you want.
the part that says .IRNECRepeatException doesn't work. but it works if i replace it with FailedToDecode
The thing is that the whole thing is a try statement. but when i get an error with .IRNECRepeatException it just stop the execution.

    except adafruit_irremote.IRNECRepeatException:  # unusual short code!
        print("NEC repeat!")
    except adafruit_irremote.IRDecodeException as e:     # failed to decode
        print("Failed to decode: ", e.args)

Looks like a new exception got added and that perhaps the example wasn't updated properly, I can fix that.

i thought about that, but i found it weird considering it was the first thing you see...
anyways, i'm not sure if the second exception is working, i didn't found it while testing, so maybe you should try that too.
pd: i'm not 100% sure but maybe the second exception is redundant.
