Infrared control is not the exclusive option to manage infrared equipment. There are numerous varieties of infrared sensors, including those that perform without requiring a microcontroller. In this course, we'll weigh the pros and cons of these two approaches to find out which will work best for the project you have in mind. We provide straightforward guidance for controlling any device in your home or office using infrared signals.

The course begins by outlining the basic principles of infrared control and the hardware required for this project, which includes an IR sensor, an Arduino board, and a remote control. After that, you'll learn how to download and install the Arduino IDE and Proteus software and design a circuit diagram. Then, we explain each code line that will make our project operate. Debugging and simulation in Tinkercad are also studied.

Finally, we go over the phases of designing a circuit that does not require a microcontroller but can receive an IR signal and switch any device on and off using a relay. You'll learn how to create a new file in Proteus and add all the necessary parts, including a relay, an RGB LED and a Dual D-Type Flip Flop. Following that, we discuss suitable connections for making the schematic. We conclude by looking at how to build a PCB module using the PCB Layout tool.
