In this case we create the variable irrecv and pass the pin to which it is connected. This contains a function that we can use. We added the IRremote library to our project at the beginning. Initialize Receiver 1 IRrecv irrecv(IrReceiverPin) This is of type decode_results This type comes from the IRremote library.

The GND on the Arduino -> the left pin of the sensor.Push the HX1838 VS1838 into the breadboard and connect the following The circuit HX1838 VS1838 infrared receiver connected to the Arduino We will use the S pin for receiving the IR signals. Furthermore, the receiver has three pins: There appears to be an LED on the top of the receiver. HX1838 VS1838 infrared receiver HX1838 VS1838 infrared receiver By adjusting the speed of the flashing, the receiver can distinguish many more signals. A clever trick has been used to tell the difference between different buttons: blinking. If the receiver only checks whether the light on the remote control is 'on', then we can only send 1 signal. Infrared remote visible on camera Signals That is why the remote control will not work if someone is covering the receiver, for example.

The signals from the remote control cannot pass through materials. Sometimes you can make this light visible via your phone. The remote control in this tutorial uses infrared. This button allows you to download the code, circuit diagram and other files relevant to this Arduino tutorial.

In this Dutch Arduino tutorial for beginners I'm going to explain how you can make this yourself 😃 Course materialĪt the bottom of this page you'll find the course material button. There is something magical about a remote control: sending data through the air without being tied to a wire.
