Building an Arduino infrared recorder and remote


With Arduino and some basic electronic components, we can easily build an infrared recorder and remote control. This allows you to record any infrared command (code) sent by an infrared remote control. Also, it allows you to resend the recorded infrared command to a target device and the device will treat the command the same as the remote control's command. Therefore, you can playback any recorded infrared command and control your respective infrared device.

The typical uses of applications are:

  • Switching on/off your air conditioner

  • Adjusting the temperature of your air conditioner before you arrive home

  • Anything you control with the traditional remote control

The following hardware and software components are needed to build a basic IR remote.

Hardware

  • The Arduino Uno: R3 board

  • The Arduino Ethernet Shield or Arduino Ethernet board

  • An LED light: Infrared 950 nm

  • An IR receiver diode: TSOP38238

  • A 330 Ohm 1/6 Watt resistor

  • A mini pushbutton switch

  • An IR...
