We’ve featured loads of IR Arduino projects and they are all exciting and unique. The projects spring from a specific need or problem where a custom infrared remote control is the solution. [Rick’s] ...

If you’ve ever needed a short-range remote control for a project, [firestorm] is here to help you out. He put up a great tutorial on using an IR remote to do just about anything with everyone’s ...

Controlling an LED with Arduino Using an IR Sensor An Infrared (IR) sensor is a commonly used device for proximity detection and object sensing. When combined with an Arduino and an LED, it can create ...

I made this Arduino project that allows to turn ON and OFF LEDs using a cheap IR remote control as a preparation for the next big step: disassemble my girlfriend’s chinese LED lamp and replace its ...

Have you ever wondered how speed guns measure the speed of moving vehicles or how an athlete's sprint speed is recorded? Normally these speed sensors work with radar or laser technology to bounce back ...

Universal remote controls are great for replacing a working remote lying on the coffee table, but what to do when it isn't? What to do when you don't have the remote anymore, or when it died and the ...

Photoelectric sensors detect objects and surface changes using variations in optical properties. Each sensor includes a light emitter and a receiver, with most relying on infrared light. In optical ...
