IR is widely used in remoter control. With this IR receiver, the Arduino project is able to receive command from any IR remoter controller if you have the right decoder. Well, it will be also easy to make your own IR controller using IR transmitter.
The IR Remote Receiver Electronic Brick has 3 pins. From left to right they are: (G) Ground, (V) Voltage, (S) Signal. BUT the marking sometimes vary on the little circuit board. In this photo they are marked G-R-Y. The 3-pin cable in the photo has the typical color code: (G) Ground = Black, (V) Voltage = Red, (S) Signal = White. This brick also comes with the IR Infrared Robot Remote Control Kit which has a remote with arrow buttons for direction etc. (Scroll down for example). It is also in the YourDuino Electronic Brick Set.
There are many different IR remote controls. Some from YourDuino.com are the low-cost IR Infrared Remote Control Kit 2 and also the IR Remote included as part of the MAKER Version Electronic Brick Starter Set Then, there are the typical TV and Stereo Remotes. All of these may have different encoding methods and number of physical buttons, and different codes received when a button is pressed. Below we will give example Software Sketches for a few common IR Remotes.
The IR Remote supplied with this Set looks like this (Others may also be supplied): - Based on NEC protocol; Built-in 1 x AG10 battery; - Remote control range: above 8m; - Wavelength: 940Nm; - Frequency: crystal oscillator: 455KHz; IR carrier frequency: 38KHz
