Infrared IR Wireless Remote Control Module Kit for Arduino
Pinout Explanation and Connection Guide
The Infrared IR Wireless Remote Control Module Kit for Arduino is a popular IoT component that enables wireless remote control capabilities for various projects. This module kit consists of a receiver module and a remote control transmitter. In this documentation, we will focus on the pinout explanation and connection guide for the receiver module.
Receiver Module Pinout:
The receiver module has 5 pins, which are:
1. VCC (Power Supply)
Pin type: Power input
Description: This pin is used to power the receiver module. Typically, it should be connected to a 5V power supply.
Connection: Connect to 5V pin on the Arduino board or a 5V power source.
2. GND (Ground)
Pin type: Ground
Description: This pin is used as a ground reference for the receiver module.
Connection: Connect to GND pin on the Arduino board or a common ground point.
3. OUT (Output)
Pin type: Digital output
Description: This pin outputs a digital signal when a valid infrared signal is received from the remote control.
Connection: Connect to any digital input pin on the Arduino board (e.g., D2, D3, D4, etc.).
4. VS (Voltage Selection)
Pin type: Voltage selection input
Description: This pin is used to select the operating voltage of the receiver module. Typically, it is left unconnected, which sets the operating voltage to 5V.
Connection: Leave unconnected or connect to 3.3V or 5V depending on the specific requirement.
5. EN (Enable)
Pin type: Enable input
Description: This pin is used to enable or disable the receiver module. When connected to a low logic level (GND), the module is enabled. When connected to a high logic level (VCC), the module is disabled.
Connection: Connect to GND to enable the module or VCC to disable the module.
Connection Structure:
To connect the receiver module to an Arduino board:
1. Connect VCC pin to 5V pin on the Arduino board.
2. Connect GND pin to GND pin on the Arduino board.
3. Connect OUT pin to any digital input pin on the Arduino board (e.g., D2, D3, D4, etc.).
4. Leave VS pin unconnected or connect to 3.3V or 5V depending on the specific requirement.
5. Connect EN pin to GND to enable the module.
Note: Make sure to use the correct pin connections and voltage levels to avoid damaging the receiver module or the Arduino board.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic IR Remote Control Using IR Receiver Module

In this example, we will use the IR receiver module to receive IR signals from a remote control and control an LED connected to an Arduino board.

Hardware Requirements:

IR Receiver Module
 Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 LED
 220 Resistor
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Software Requirements:

Arduino IDE
 IRremote library (install using Library Manager)

Code:
```c++
#include <IRremote.h>

const int ledPin = 13;  // LED connected to digital pin 13
const int receiverPin = 11;  // IR receiver module connected to digital pin 11

IRrecv irrecv(receiverPin);
decode_results results;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the IR receiver
}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
    if (results.value == 0xFF38C7) { // IR code for the "OK" button on a remote control
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
    } else {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
    }
    irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next IR signal
  }
}
```
### Example 2: IR Transmitter Module with Arduino

In this example, we will use the IR transmitter module to send IR signals to a device, such as a TV, using an Arduino board.

Hardware Requirements:

IR Transmitter Module
 Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Software Requirements:

Arduino IDE
 IRremote library (install using Library Manager)

Code:
```c++
#include <IRremote.h>

const int transmitterPin = 3;  // IR transmitter module connected to digital pin 3

IRsend irsend(transmitterPin);

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

void loop() {
  irsend.sendSony(0x12, 0x10, 0x00); // Send a Sony IR code to turn on a TV
  delay(100); // Wait 100ms before sending the next code
}
```
Note: The IR codes used in these examples are for demonstration purposes only. You may need to use a different IR code specific to your device or remote control.
