Tutorial: How to use the 24-button IR remote control

This 24-button IR remote control is ideal for controlling RGB LED strip 3528/5050 lights. Perfect for beginners and intermediate makers.

What you need

• 24-button IR remote control
• LED strip light 3528/5050
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• USB cable for microcontroller

Steps

1. 1. Connect to the Arduino IDE.
2. 2. Load the base code for the IR receiver.
3. 3. Connect the IR receiver to the microcontroller (VCC to 5V, GND to GND, DOUT to a digital pin).
4. 4. Connect the 12V strip light to the IR remote.
5. 5. Configure the IR buttons in the Arduino code.
6. 6. Load the code onto the microcontroller.
7. 7. Test the buttons on the remote.
8. 8. Check the strip light’s reaction.

Example code

```cpp
#include <IRremote.h>

const int RECV_PIN = 11;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn();
}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
    irrecv.resume();
  }
}
```

Mini project

Create an animation with the colors of the IR buttons.

Common mistakes
