Get Started in Electronics #10 - Using the Infrared Remote and Sensor

[@tikav2411]

Awesome! I learned so much in this series. Keep posting and keep it up! Great puns :)

[@jackwilliam9455]

It would be cool if you could make a video where you showed us how to set up a buzzer with the remote. Thank you for this awesome series!

[@TheURS50]

Please continue on with the series i have a lot of unused components that i really want to use

[@IncreaseLearning]

I've learned so much while watching these Arduino videos. You're an excellent teacher. I hope to learn more from you from this Elegoo Super Starter Kit.

[@Siriusz7]

why are you soooooooooo good at explaining ?? but really i have learned a lot from this series and i hope you keep uploading awesome videos

[@micr0chap]

The coding detail in this demo is really valuable to me with what I'm trying to develop since my project requires redefining the functions of the remote's 21 keys. Thanks heaps, Bryan. (subscribed)

[@IncreaseLearning]

I sincerely appreciate your explanations and humor!!!

[@TheByers1]

thanks , i was so glad when you said you were not using the code that came with the kits i had been trying using the code that came with kit and others on the web. do you know how awesome and helpful you are. the builtin codes are awful . yes i can spend hours figuring it out and learn a little but i learned a lot more following you and your explanations.

[@googleuser298]

Every time I pick up a new hobby I look up videos about it and you have some on it as well. My dude lol

[@muradmustafazade6282]

Another great video! However, please everybody pay attention to order of the cabels,if you have another type of receiver. For example, number of my receiver is 1838(written on top of the receiver) and i almost burnt it, because the cabel order shawn on the video was different than mine😂

[@joshpegg4575]

Love the video man keep it up

[@theborednerds]

Hey Bryan, When I go to the link in the description for Elegoo, it takes me to V1.0, which I already have, not V2.0 which appears to have the library "IR.h". Help!

[@DanielOBrien_Argentiumfox]

As of August 2022, the download on Elegoo doesn't seem to provide the "IR" file anymore, so I can't "#include..." the correct ".h" files for this tutorial to work. And it can no longer be found in the Arduino Library lists. It doesn't recognize the "IRrecv" command also. Any ideas? I really want to learn how to use this IR sensor. I love this video series though. Great job so far.

[@glodu9302]

Did you fixed this problem ? Can’t find it anywhere

[@pat022860]

YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU

[@1830mof]

Really nice presentation style.

[@vibinoutside]

how come my second library didn't load? I couldn't check the file because IR.h didn't exist? How do I get around this? Cheers

[@EnduringGuerila]

My kit didn't include an "IR.h" file either, just came with the "IRremote.h." You can download the version he uploaded if you want the file.

[@IncreaseLearning]

Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏

[@BV3D]

Hi Seth! I realize this is like a year late, but THANK YOU very much! KZbin rolled out this Applaud feature (now called Super Thanks) but, until very recently, didn't give creators an easy way to find them. Now they have, and I wanted to say I am grateful for your support!

[@nigelcarter6487]

Hi Brian I love the videos. I have the kit and am starting to use it, but when are you going to do more of the videos for the kit please? Regards, Nigel

[@godricentertainment]

Again great stuff. Unfortunately I couldn't follow along with this video because the files that you have on this video is very different from the ones on the link below.

[@kwouters]

I just discovered this video and your channel, and it's phenomenal! I'm working with exactly the same kit you're using, and I have a couple of observations from doing this project. 1. The version of the IRremote library is crucial for this sketch to work properly. I could only get it to work with 2.80. I know there were MAJOR changes with the 3.X versions, but I couldn't even get it to work with 2.81. Your video helped me figure out the source of my issue, and this solved my frustration. 2. The sketch works great, with the exception of one button: the FastForward. For some reason, this button displays "FAST FORWADOWN " in the serial monitor. I assumed there was a typo in the IR.h file, but I can't find it. Does your kit/sketch also display the wrong name for this button? Any ideas why this would happen? Thanks again for your awesome work! I'm definitely a new fan!!

[@rafalocity]

If you are still interested: You are right, the error comes from the IR.h file. It seems to do this when the strings of text in the keyBuf array are too long. Change the length of the strings in the declaration of the array. In other words, you should have something like this: char keyBuf[][15] = {everything here stays the same};

[@kwouters]

@@rafalocity Thank you so much for the explanation! I still have a lot to learn about Arduino sketches. 😀

[@rafalocity]

@@kwouters You're welcome! Keep on learning!

[@alessiobruna370]

hi Bryan, thanks for your videos! after 10 lession with you i got the first truble but i can't figure it out; quickly: my Serial.begin(9600) doesn't show my nothing else than "IR Receiver Button Decode "; with every button i press the receiver is blinking (red led on the board) but nothing is Printed on my serial monitor.....how???!

[@faimaim1015]

Im having the same problem and the led doesn’t turn off i left it alone for a while came back it turned off but soon as i touched it again after a couple uses it went back to the same thing led on and when you press the button it lights up more and I literally copied the code and its not working im so confused

[@gent55a]

same here

[@gent55a]

I figured it out. There are 2 steps you need to try in the following order. A) Most probably you have installed the latest version of IRRemote library (as I have done) which was updated about a week ago and has some syntax changes. Modify your code so that it reflects them. I will paste my working example below for your reference. B) I read that IRRemote library sometimes conflicts with preinstalled IR Robot Remote Control libraries. Try deleting them. I hope this helps!

[@seansanchez9730]

also posted a comment about the same issue without seeing this thread, still havnt been able to get it working though Edit: i figured it out! read my original comment under this video for a walkthrough

My monitor says "The function decode(&results)) is deprecated and may not work as expected! Just use decode() without a parameter and IrReceiver.decodedIRData. ." what do i do?

[@sjawad7299]

I can’t find the instruction to the IR.H file and I can’t find the Irremote by Shiriff. Can you please help. Thank you

[@ebrown2469]

I have been trying to follow this lesson. The information you have is very different than what downloads from elegoo. The file auto-downloads. I have been unable to download the sketch that is as up-to-date as yours.

[@HallofWisdom]

--- me too. the download is the same as the CD, from 2019 --- 11APR22

[@andrewsontop]

i have a problem, when i connect every cable, (i checked and they are successfully connected correctly), the red led on the ir receiver just turns on and keeps there, which first i didnt mind but when the code didnt work i tried disconnecting the yellow one, and now the receiver worked, but i cant use it cause it has no pin point to make me use the code, help please

[@mattiasilverii3188]

I have a different code called IR_Receiver_Module... I don't know what to do! Great video though as always!

Thank you!!i also would love to make reviews!!😊

[@shashanksherkar392]

I am facing issues while making a 4 relay module driven AC switchboard controlled by IR Remote. Can you help me? I am from India, so the remote could be different and I don't have the extra .h file you had with all codes. I need to retrieve codes first using code from KEN SHIRIFF example and then develop code using retrieved HEX values for my project. Please let me know if you can help, thanks already.

[@Andy_Tibbs]

some more work on the thumbnails and this channel will BLOW UP!! love this channel

[@duller9430]

Could you make an updated tutorial to this because IRremote by shirif does not exist anymore only IRemote by Armin Joachimseyer also elegoo has updated there code . If you do make an updated tutorial thanks you

[@brendan2609]

Shriff does exist, but the code is different. Im having issues as well.

[@spikekent]

Another highly entertaining & educational video. Keep the #DadJokes coming. Thanks Bryan

[@tbrandx2]

I've been thinking that I'd like to learn more about coding the Arduino. How did you get started? Is it more like Java or C++?

[@devonjasper3545]

The Arduino uses C as its programming language.

[@kailauren8434]

You abandoned me! Will you be doing videos for all of the code that comes with the starter kit? I need to motion-activate a step motor and I can't go on without you.

[@max_dee]

Library has since been deprecated. Receiver still flashes for input but nothing is printed on the monitor. Instead, I get the following warning in the Serial Monitor: --------------------------------------------------- Thank you for using the IRremote library! It seems, that you are using a old version 2.0 code / example. This version is no longer supported! Please use one of the new code examples from the library, available at "File > Examples > Examples from Custom Libraries / IRremote". Start with the SimpleReceiver or SimpleSender example. ------------------------------------------ I did try some of the 'examples' code but they weren't compatible with this lesson. Any ideas

[@rayzr8945]

Did you ever figure it out? I got similar issues

[@max_dee]

@@rayzr8945 Sorry mate, I don't honestly recall. I have a feeling a moved onto another exercise with my Arduino.

[@brendan2609]

I look at your video and copied all the code, and changed mg version to see if it works and am getting error within the IR.ino portion.

[@EduTechNeer]

Okay so I know this tutorial was posted a while ago and the PDF Elegoo tutorial was posted even longer ago but the code simply did not work for me. The first thing I had to do was write a program that decoded each button by printing it's HEX number in the serial monitor because the ones in the code were wrong. After doing that I wrote the code below. It is not elegant but it gets the job done. #include "IRremote.h" IRrecv IR(11); int ledPin = 8; void setup() { IR.enableIRIn(); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { if(IR.decode()) { if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xBA45FF00){Serial.println("POWER");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData ==0xB847FF00) {Serial.println("FUNC/STOP");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xB946FF00) {Serial.println("VOL+");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xBB44FF00) {Serial.println("FAST BACK");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xBF40FF00) {Serial.println("PAUSE");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xBC43FF00) {Serial.println("FAST FORWARD");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xF807FF00) {Serial.println("DOWN");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xEA15FF00) {Serial.println("VOL-");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xF609FF00) {Serial.println("UP");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xE619FF00) {Serial.println("EQ");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xF20DFF00) {Serial.println("ST/REPT");} if (IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xE916FF00) {Serial.println("0");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xF30CFF00) {Serial.println("1");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xE718FF00) {Serial.println("2");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xA15EFF00) {Serial.println("3");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xF708FF00) {Serial.println("4");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xE31CFF00) {Serial.println("5");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xA55AFF00) {Serial.println("6");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xBD42FF00) {Serial.println("7");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xAD52FF00) {Serial.println("8");} if(IR.decodedIRData.decodedRawData == 0xB54AFF00) {Serial.println("9");} delay(1000); IR.resume(); } }

[@tsuri_yankee]

how does it know what pins are the input from the receiver?

[@BV3D]

That's a great question, and I didn't address it in the video. The receiver pin is defined in the IR.h file, on line 4: *#define** RECEIVER 11* This is used in IR.ino, on line 7: *IRrecv irrecv(RECEIVER);* So, the RECEIVER label is defined as 11, and then that value is used when setting up an instance of IRrecv.

[@wherami]

Sadly elegoo removed this test code from latest download.

[@seansanchez9730]

hello! I've been enjoying your videos very much but for some reason, the included source code with this module doesn't seem to work. i think it has something to do with a recent update to the IRremote library. but I am getting lots of orange error text and can't get the serial monitor to register pressed remote buttons Problem solved!! at 7:38 when he shows what to install he is installing the old library which doesn't compile the code properly anymore remove any IR libraries you may have installed by going to documents>arduino>libraries and deleting any libraries named IR, IRremote, etc then go to your IRremote module and copy the IRremote library folder to the Arduino libraries folder. your code should now work as expected! ps. this advice came straight from elegoo customer service but they have not yet responded about whether or not they will be updating their example codes to match the new updated 3.0.1 IRremote library

[@rhettorical_]

Thank you!

[@tushitapatel5782]

Why do some tools need a power5 v while others don't?

[@badgerfool1980]

They have different code for this now and I don't know if it's just me (I may have a faulty remote or something) but the code out of the box gives some odd outputs to the serial monitor. I tried to add an if statement for the led similar to yours and got it to sort of work.. the led blinks instead of staying on or off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
