Example Code for Arduino-IR Receiver Test

Software Preparation

IR Remote Library Includes some sample codes for sending and receiving.

Wiring Diagram

The following image shows a suggested connection method. You may use any Digital I/O pin that is not in use by another device.

Other Preparation Work

NOTE:In the sample code below Digital pin 11 is in use, you may either change your wiring or change the sample code to match.

Sample Code

/*
 * IRremote: IRrecvDemo - demonstrates receiving IR codes with IRrecv
 * An IR detector/demodulator must be connected to the input RECV_PIN.

#include <IRremote.h>

int RECV_PIN = 11;

IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);

decode_results results;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
    irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
  }
