Arduino Remote Control (ARC)

In this project, we will be making a Arduino Remote Control (ARC) that decode any Infrared (IR) Remote into hex or any other format and use it to turn LED On/Off!

It’s a fairly easy project and could be done in few minutes. Here we go.

For this project, we will be using:

- Arduino boards (mine Arduino Uno Rev3)

- An IR Reciever

- IR 333 Transmitter

- LED

- Any Remote

In general, the connections are very simple. Follow the instructions and images above, and you should have no problems.

Connecting IR Receiver

• The VCC pin on Arduino's 5V output
• The GND pin to Arduino's GND pin
• The Output to Arduino's digital pin 11

Connecting IR 333 Transmitter

• The VCC pin to Arduino's digital pin 3
• The GND pin to Arduino's GND pin

Connecting LED

• The VCC pin to Arduino's digital pin
• The GND pin to Arduino's GND pin

In this project I use my own custom protoshield , check it out how to make it.

Upload Arduino_Remote to Arduino Uno, and Run VB_Remote from debug folder, and you should have no problem. Below is the preview of the programs.

After making sure that everything works smoothly, you can take this project into bigger project that could be controlled remotely!

Power through batteries or a plug and you’re good to go!
