TV Remote RGB LED Control — Arduino IR Prototype
An early Arduino IR-control project where Parth used a TV remote to control RGB LEDs through C-language code and hardware integration.

TV Remote RGB LED Control was one of Parth's early Arduino and hardware-integration projects from March 2018. The project demonstrated how a TV remote could be used to control RGB LEDs through Arduino and C-language code. This project is useful in the Early Work archive because it shows one of Parth's early steps into remote-controlled hardware interaction. Before the later Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Alexa, GSM, and relay-based automation projects, he was already experimenting with signal input, code-based control, and physical LED output. The video description also notes that the C-language code, Arduino and hardware integration, recording setup, script writing, editing, animation, and special effects were done by Parth. This project matters because it shows an early foundation in hardware control. At 13, Parth was already learning how external signals could be interpreted by code and converted into visible physical output. It also shows early self-driven documentation and presentation skills. This project is documented through a working video demo rather than a public code repository.
Problem solved
The project explored how a regular TV remote could be used as an input device to control RGB LED behavior through Arduino.
What it does
The system receives commands from a TV remote and uses Arduino/C-language logic to control RGB LED output. The project demonstrates a basic remote-input to LED-output control flow.
Contribution
Parth wrote or implemented the C-language Arduino code, connected the hardware, integrated the TV remote control behavior with RGB LED output, and documented the project through video recording, script writing, editing, animation, and special effects.
