This dimmer, specially designed for floor lamps, allows you to control the lighting remotely with the press of a button, no matter where you are in the room. All of this, using any infrared remote ...

This project is an Arduino-based remote control system where each button on the infrared remote controls a specific device or component. Pressing button 1 toggles the red LED ON and OFF. Pressing ...

Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, making it ...

The non-obvious optical and RF challenges faced by IR-based remote-control links. How a new, tailored preamplifier addresses and minimizes these potential problems. The low-cost, infrared-based remote ...

Today’s IR-based remote controls have little resemblance to their predecessors; it took the convergence of unrelated advances to get us here. We take the ubiquitous infrared-based (IR) remote control ...

Eugene Polley should be ther most popular man on the planet. He left a legacy of leisure that billions of people lean upon each and every day, often for hours on end. Polley, a self-taught mechanical ...

We've grown a little spoiled. At some point during the progression of televisions and media devices, remote controls went from infrared sensors that required a direct line-of-sight between the remote ...

We’re all used to general purpose microcontroller boards such as the Arduino or its many imitators, but perhaps we don’t see as much of their industrial cousins. A programmable logic controller (PLC) ...

You’ve just bought a new Roku remote, but the pairing button is missing or doesn’t work? What now? If you’re trying to figure out how to sync a Roku remote without a pairing button, you’re in the ...

In the realm of DIY electronics, the Arduino UNO has emerged as a versatile platform for a myriad of projects. One such innovative project is the creation of a low-cost thermal camera, as demonstrated ...
