Other Arduino Codes and Videos by Robojax
This video shows you how to control DC motor using any Infrared Remote Controller and L293D motor driver. You need to install the library from the provided link. Also you will learn how to decode any remote controller using Arduino.
Watch video on Infrared Remote control
/*
* * Original Infrared library from - http://arcfn.com
*
* This is the Arduino code for L293d DC motor Driver
Using IR remote control DC motor rotating it CW and CCW and STOP it.
