Robotics Training LESSON 12: Programming Travel Distance with Infrared (IR) Remote

In this lesson we show how to use the Infrared (IR) Remote to program the Elegoo Smart Car. We use the remote to specify the distance in feet we want the robot car to travel.  (If you guys want to play along at home, you can pick up your robot car HERE.)

 

Arduino Tutorial 65: Creating Useful Commands from IR Remote Buttons

Simple Demonstration of IR Remote Control of Arduino

In this lesson we show you how to map button pushes on the Infrared Remote Control to useful functions in the Arduino. This code can serve as the basis for using the remote control in many different applications.

We are building this with parts from our Elegoo Kit , and our actual build is using an Arduino Nano, which allows the project to be built on a single breadboard. You can get the neat jumper wires HERE.

The code developed in the video is available below:

 

Arduino Tutorial 64: Understanding and Using the Infrared (IR) Remote to Control a Project

Simple Demonstration of IR Remote Control of Arduino

The Elegoo Kit contains a simple IR module and remote which allow you to add remote control to your arduino project. In this lesson we show you how to connect the remote, and then how to send signals to the arduino using the remote unit. This video takes you through the process step by step.

The code below will get you started, and then you can expand the code to map all the buttons to simple string commands.
