IR Reomote library
Usage
You need a IR receiving breakout to detect the IR signal and decodes it as HEX
code, then dispaly it on the serial monitor to read what the remote control send.
S -> D11
VCC -> 5V
GND -> GND
When you press any button on the remote control, serial monitor shows the
hexadecimal code of that button.Every button on the remote control has a
corresponding hexadecimal code. If you keep on pressing any button, it shows
FFFFFFFF on the serial monitor. As well as the IR transmitter and receiver module,
keep the IR LED on the remote control opposite the IR detector for better signal
reception.
Example code
#include <IRremote.h>
int RECV_PIN = 11; //define input pin on Arduino
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}
void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
}
}
