Control Devices with Any Remote Control: Infrared Signals

After Taking this course:

• No more getting up from the couch to change settings or turn things on/off

• Control up to 15 devices with just one remote

• Control using any remote as long as it has an infrared signal

• Works from anywhere in the room

• Provides a signal from across an entire room

• No need to worry about which buttons correspond to which devices

• Perfect for an environment where multiple people use the same TV and other devices, such as a family room

This course will help you implement an infrared remote control to turn anything around you on and off with and without a microcontroller.

One of the most common forms of wireless communication is infrared. This course discusses IR control in detail and explains in a step-by-step manner how to use any remote control to control devices (On and Off) by using a Simple IR receiver.

In this course, I will show you how to build a simple infrared-controlled device using a microcontroller.

What you will learn:

• We will first explore the physics of infrared radiation, how it can be detected by a phototransistor, and what happens when it is interrupted.

• In infrared radiation detection methods, we will also explore infrared control with and without a microcontroller.

• What are the benefits of infrared control with a microcontroller?

• We will then explore the Arduino library and library functions to create infrared light and detect an interruption of that light.

• Compare and contrast this to other methods for controlling infrared devices such as passive infrared

• Finally, we will create a circuit without a Microcontroller to receive the IR Signal and turn a device on and off using a really

The use of infrared control is not the only way to control infrared devices. There are many types of infrared sensors, some of which work without any need for a microcontroller. We will compare and contrast these two methods in order to better understand which one would be more appropriate for your project.
