Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, makin… ...

I made this Arduino project that allows to turn ON and OFF LEDs using a cheap IR remote control as a preparation for the next big step: disassemble my girlfriend’s chinese LED lamp and replace its ...

Hardware Setup — Forepart Here’s the front-end circuit of the IR sniffer. The hardware will capture an IR code and retransmit it on demand. The schematic isn’t particularly complex. The IR receiver ...

Patrick explains a little more about his creation : “For the past several months, I’ve been trying desperately to design a unit that can learn signals from infrared (IR) remote controls. I ...

A 3W IR diode transmits these new signals with the help of an N-channel MOSFET, giving it enough power to control each component, even without the proper line-of-sight orientation.

Sometimes you need a little utility device to do a very simple job, and do it well.This one-shot IR helper from [Gregory Sanders] is just that. [Gregory] had a TV that didn’t support automat… ...

(InfraRed remote control) A handheld, wireless device used to operate audio, video and other electronic equipment within a room using light signals in the infrared (IR) range. Infrared light ...
