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… ...

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 ...
