Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, makin… ...

In my case I have used only 3 x 330Ω resistors, 3 leds and a TSOP4838 IR receiver module. You must check the datasheet before use the IR module to see which pins connect to the power supply and which ...

The main difference when using this method is that the IR signal is not inverted as it would normally be when using a more common modulated IR receiver module. All of the Arduino code you need to ...

Because the module contains a 38-KHz pulse generator, you can save a few code lines and, of course, one or two I/Os of your microcontroller when making advanced infrared projects. See the schematic ...
