Arduino IR Remote Control with do-it-yourself info

http://www.rtfa.net/tag/arduino

I made an Arduino project that decoded infrared signals from my remote control, and it was so much fun that I kept optimizing the code. This new video demonstrates some of the added functionality, but more importantly, I provide specific details for how to replicate this circuit on your own. If you have an Arduino and a breadboard, then you can build this project for about $4. All you need is an IR Receiver from RadioShack (part # 276-640). Download the code from http://www.rtfa.net and get started today!

Good work!

But if I understood well, it would last around 10 seconds to send that 12 binary digits with digital pulses of 700 and 1200ms? or they are µs?

I'm researching to develop a motorsport IR lap timer for multiple cars, but I don't know what could be the best protocol to use in the transponders so it can be readed and differenciated by the receiver at high speeds.

@chaosbiker I think you're right about it being microseconds, not milliseconds... as you point out, the timing doesn't make sense otherwise. Thanks! I will think about a way to communicate this to new viewers.

nice demo

thanks! I made this setup cooler by moving from a breadboard to a protoshield, so it's all self-contained now. Even better, I am using a 9V battery to make the whole thing portable.

The next thing I want to do is use some IR LEDs for output, and make a portable Arduino tv-b-gone.

Anyway, thanks for the comment!

@2012goingNutz Why? It's great for demostrating the capabilities of arduino. You comment is a complete waste of time. You will make a good troll for the masses. Enjoy your own arogance goat boy!

Junk! Sorry man but your project is a complete waste of time.

You will make a good slave for China. Enjoy the FEMA camp

goat boy.

@0lMelhor You need to try each button to figure out its output.

ey men i have a home audio subwoofer but i dont have the remote control to get the volumen up and down help me in this one. i try to find code for universal control but it cant find anywere theres no codes for this subwoofers. so how i can hack the IR from the subwoofer so i can get the volumen up

@vacer25 Aaah, ok! You got it now? :D

[donutsprinkles99]

What was he running that showed the numbers on his computer?

[vacer25]

@damQuick3x6 The thing is I need a LOT of inputs and outputs, but thanks for the reply
