Learn how to Setup, Code, and Test your IR Sensor-Receiver kit. This is a tutorial for Arduino IR (Infrared) remote controlled transmitter and receiver.
This simple and easy to follow tutorial shows how to connect an Arduino to your household appliances (Lights, fans, etc. ) and control them with a $1 Infrared transmitter and receiver setup!
The expertise level required for this is beginner. Infrared communication is a common way to control home appliances, like TVs. It is also possible to hack a TV remote to do the same job as the remote shown. If you liked this Arduino tutorial, do check out other easy arduino tutorials on my channel, and DIY Arduino projects.
