Arduino Example

Arduino IR Receiver Example

Read IR remote commands.

Wiring

Check pinout, power supply, common GND and voltage levels before connecting the module.

Full code

#include <IRremote.h>
const int recvPin = 2;

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

void loop() {
  if (IrReceiver.decode()) {
    Serial.println(IrReceiver.decodedIRData.decodedRawData, HEX);
    IrReceiver.resume();
  }
}

How it works

This lesson matches the page title and gives a clean starting point for this exact example.

Common mistakes

Check board selection, wiring, libraries, power supply and serial monitor baud rate.

Frequently asked questions
