How to use Arduino as TV remote controller
How to use Arduino as TV remote controller
This video shows you how to control TV using Arduino.. You need to install the library from the provided link. Also you will learn how to decode any remote controller using Arduino.
Watch This video if you want to know how to Receive IR signal
- Arduino Library (from Robojax.com)
- Download Library for Arduino (getHub)
- Datasheet for VS1838 Receiver
Open the example shown in the video from the library.
You don't need this this code. The example is already inclused in the library

// If one keypress results in multiple codes being output, then
// change in IRremoteInt.h:
