Arduino Based IR Remote Decoder

To decode any universal remote values we can use this code and schematics. This is Arduino Based IR remote decoder.

Hello guys, today in this tutorial we are going to make an IR Hex data decoder using Arduino. We will print the values of decoded data on LCD. The schematics, circuit diagrams, PCB layout and Arduino code will be described in detail. In last we will focus on some IR remote libraries and discuss the problem in these Arduino libraries. Sponsored by JLCPCB.

Every digit/button of IR remote have identity number. This is given by microcontroller inside remote control and transmitted through IR led. This data is in the form of 0 and 1. To understand the data in Hex format, we need to capture it and decode using microcontroller. We will capture this data using TSOP1738 IR receiver and decode the data using Arduino’s Atmega328p.

1) TSOP1738

2) Arduino

3) 16x2 LCD (with I2C)

4) 100-ohm resistor

5) IR remote

6) 9v battery

The circuit is too simple, just put IR Tsop receiver and give power using GND and VCC lines. Connect data pin to any digital pin of microcontroller. Print the values using I2C communication on 16x2 LCD. The values are given in Hex decoded format like: F897E456 ( 8- digits).

Each remote button number has different address, this address is given by microcontroller to each button. And the data is transmitted using IR led in front of remote. This is encoded binary data in 0101 format.

This transmitted data is received using TSOP infrared sensor. The data is decoded in Hex format (E556F562) using microcontroller.

To see the decoded data, we can use serial monitor or LCD (16x2).

/* hello guys here I am using older versions on IR library so please download and install all the previous version (to be precise IRremote-2.8.0 library).

* the link to download preferred library is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ooV9b64H_579zfkCLHSwh-WmZjaBadH/view?usp=sharing

#include <IRremote.h>

#include <Wire.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2);

const int RECV_PIN=8;

IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);

decode_results results;

void setup()

{

lcd.init();

lcd.backlight();

Serial.begin(9600);

irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver

irrecv.blink13(true);

}

void loop() {

if (IrReceiver.decode())

{

Serial.println(IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData, HEX);

lcd.clear();

lcd.setCursor(0,0);

lcd.print("IR DECODED");

lcd.setCursor(0,1);

lcd.print(IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData, HEX);

irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value

delay(100);

}

}

This is a universal stereo Bluetooth remote and the values are same for all remotes of this type/ you can match 1-2 values and then go with this decoded data.

This project need IR library, but the latest version of this library have some corrupted files. So download IRremote-2.8.0 library from Here.

Download other files, circuit diagram, PCB layout, Gerber files from Here.

I think the solo project is not valuable, we can decode the data and make different project using these decoded values. Like:

A remote clone, which not exactly looks like a remote to a lay man.

RC car using Arduino and IR remote.

FAN, Light controller relay system.
