Course Description
After Taking this course:
No more getting up from the couch to change settings or turn things on/off
Control up to 15 devices with just one remote
Control using any remote as long as it has an infrared signal
Works from anywhere in the room
Provides a signal from across an entire room
No need to worry about which buttons correspond to which devices
Perfect for an environment where multiple people use the same TV and other devices, such as a family room
This course will help you implement an infrared remote control to turn anything around you on and off with and without a microcontroller.
One of the most common forms of wireless communication is infrared. This course discusses IR control in detail and explains in a step-by-step manner how to use any remote control to control devices (On and Off) by using a Simple IR receiver.
In this course, I will show you how to build a simple infrared-controlled device using a microcontroller.
What you will learn:
We will first explore the physics of infrared radiation, how it can be detected by a phototransistor, and what happens when it is interrupted.
In infrared radiation detection methods, we will also explore infrared control with and without a microcontroller.
What are the benefits of infrared control with a microcontroller?
We will then explore the Arduino library and library functions to create infrared light and detect an interruption of that light.
Compare and contrast this to other methods for controlling infrared devices such as passive infrared
Finally, we will create a circuit without a Microcontroller to receive the IR Signal and turn a device on and off using a really
The use of infrared control is not the only way to control infrared devices. There are many types of infrared sensors, some of which work without any need for a microcontroller. We will compare and contrast these two methods in order to better understand which one would be more appropriate for your project.

Would you like to make money being an Embedded System Developer?
Would you like to build your own 6-figure business?
Would you like to learn how to code, circuit design or solder electronic components?
Would you like to make better projects?
Would you like to start an embedded system career, create great projects, kick start an idea, program, simulate, and create PCB Boards, launch a freelance career?
If you want to do any of these things, just enroll in the course. You have a 30-day money back guarantee if you don't like it. And I'm always improving my courses so that they stay up to date and the best that they can be. Check them out, and enroll today!
More About Ashraf:
I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.
In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.
I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
