IR Remote LED Control — Arduino Input-Output Prototype

An early Arduino project that used an IR remote sensor to receive remote-control signals and switch red, blue, and green LEDs on or off.

Overview

IR Remote LED Control was an early Arduino input-output project from 2018. The project used an IR receiver to decode remote-control signals and map specific hex values to LED actions. It is a small project, but it is useful in the Early Work archive because it shows Parth learning how wireless input signals can control hardware output. This idea later appears in stronger forms through Bluetooth app control, water pump automation, and other hardware-control projects. This project helps show an early step in Parth's automation journey: receiving a wireless command, interpreting it in code, and controlling physical hardware. It is a foundation project that connects naturally to later Bluetooth and mobile-app-controlled builds.

Problem solved

The project explored how a remote control could be used to operate physical outputs through Arduino instead of using direct manual switches.

What it does

The Arduino sketch receives IR remote signals, checks the decoded hex value, and switches red, blue, and green LEDs on or off based on the command received. It also includes all-on and all-off command behavior.

Contribution

Parth wrote the Arduino logic for receiving IR signals, mapping remote hex codes to actions, and controlling LED outputs through Arduino pins.
