There was a time when infrared (IR) transmitters on mobile phones were common, but, that is no longer the case. This project offers a solution: Use your mobile phone with its Bluetooth connectivity to ...

We use IR Remote controls daily. Home appliances like TV, AC, Audio/Video Systems, nowadays smart appliances like Fans, Water Coolers, etc., comes with a Remote Control. IR Remote Control uses ...

This project shows how to build an infrared remote control (IR RC) converter that allows emulating an IR remote control (emulated IR RC) using a different one (physical IR RC). The basic principle is ...

[James] is one of those guys on a quest to control everything with one device. His tool of choice is an Android phone, which can do quite a lot right out of the box. But he was never satisfied with ...

The new hotness in consumer electronics might be RF remotes based on protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy, but there’s still plenty of life left in the classic infrared remote. Especially with projects ...

For today's how-to we spent some time rummaging around in our parts box to build a serial IR remote interface for our PC. We took a few pieces from various designs to come up our own, built ...

Depressing a button on a modern Consumer IR, CIR, remote control causes a 940nm LED to blink. As the LED toggles a pulse stream of infrared light is generated. The pulse stream is a pattern which ...

For the most part, remote-control consumer electronic equipment still uses IR wireless communication. It's simple to design in, robust, cheap to manufacture and yields a controller that can run for ...

Each of these steps represents a possible solution. Check if your TV responds to your infrared (IR) remote control after completing each step. The image below shows two examples of infrared remote ...

Today’s IR-based remote controls have little resemblance to their predecessors; it took the convergence of unrelated advances to get us here. Part 1 examined dead-end precursors to our present-day ...
