Tutorial: How to use the 4 Channel Infrared Receiver

This 4 channel infrared receiver is ideal for projects requiring remote command management. Useful for beginners and intermediates, it allows controlling various features with a remote control.

What you need

• Arduino
• Infrared Remote Control
• Power cable
• 1 kΩ resistor (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Connect the Arduino to the power source.
2. 2. Connect the infrared receiver to digital pin 9 of the Arduino.
3. 3. Connect a 1 kΩ resistor between the VCC pin of the receiver and the 5V pin of the Arduino.
4. 4. Connect the GND pin of the receiver to the GND of the Arduino.
5. 5. Upload the following code to the Arduino.
6. 6. Use the remote control to send commands.
7. 7. Check the datasheet for further details.
8. 8. Try controlling different channels on the remote.

Example code

```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  } } ```

Mini project

Create a project that turns on and off with a remote control. In 30 minutes, you can mount an LED and connect it to the receiver to control it with the remote.

Common mistakes

• Do not connect the receiver to an analog pin.
• Ensure that the remote control and the receiver have the same frequency.
• Verify that the remote control is functioning.
• Check the correct polarity of the connections.

Recommended accessories

• LED
• Resistor for LED
• Infrared Remote Control
• Arduino Shield

Frequently asked questions
