How to connect IR Remote Controller for microcontroller

Post by TRONICLK » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:26 pm

If you bought IR Receiver Module Wireless Remote Control Kit for Arduino from TRONIC.LK, here is a quick guide on integrating that to Arduino or any other microcontroller based board.

  IR Receiver TSOP382: Supply voltage of 2.5V to 5.5V
  With the curved front facing you, pin 1 is on the left.
  Attach
    Pin 1: To pin 2 on Arduino
    Pin 2: GND
    Pin 3: 5V
  
  This is based on pmalmsten's code found on the Arduino forum from 2007:
  http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1176098434/0

  This code works with super cheapo remotes. If you want to look at the individual timing
  of the bits, use this code:
  http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/InfraredReceivers
  
  This code clips a lot of the incoming IR blips, but what is left is identifiable as key codes.
