Controlling LEDs with an IR remote
In this post, I will describe how to connect your TV remote to Arduino through a simple IR sensor. As you may be aware, the TV remote is based on the principle of using infrared light as the medium of communication. The IR LED is connected to the end of the circuit board of the remote and emits infrared light which is sensed by the sensor placed at the receiver of the TV. In this project, we will capture the IR light signals sent by the remote and use it to control LEDs in the way we want. The Completed Project Materials required Arduino UNO USB 2.0 Cable Type A/B Any TSOP IR reciever(in this project i used a TSOP1838 IR reciever) LED(s) IR remote (in this project we will use a TV remote, but you can also use any other IR remote) Jumper wires Breadboard Downloading the IR library Libraries are used to extend the Arduino environment. We need to install libraries to work with different sensors. The IR library can be downloaded from https://github...
