Control two LEDs with IR Remote, IR Receiver and Arduino.

This project shows how to control two LEDs with IR Receiver and Arduino.

An Infrared (IR) transmitter uses light to transmit signals to the IR receiver. The light is in the form of invisible infrared pulses and corresponds to specific codes. Each code corresponds to a particular command. The receiver decodes the corresponding pulses to the specific code and executes the commands.

Since light is used to transmit the signal, the IR remote works when in line of sight with the receiver. Signals will not go around corners or through walls.”
