Control AC bulb using any Infrared Remote with Arduino and relay

This video shows you how to control AC bulb or load using any Infrared Remote Controller such as your TV remote. You need to install the library from the provided link. Also you will learn how to decode any remote controller using Arduino.

In the code you have to select type of your remote. If your remote is black, select 'B' and if your remote is white select 'W' in the code. Also you have select the type of receiver you are using. If you are using PCB version of receiver, then set PCB = 1 and set it =0 if using NON-PCB module.

Watch This video if you have any question about the code

Source for controlling AC load using Arduino


 /*
 * Original library from - http://arcfn.com
 * 
 * This Arduino code decodes any remote code and then you can control AC load using relay
 * sold on eBay for Arduino. 
 * You have to select the type of your remote as Black or White in the code bellow
 * and also select your receiver 1838 either as PCB or bare module. See video for details
 * 
 * You have to watch this video:https://youtu.be/muAkBQb24NI
 * before proceeding with this code.
