In this project I will show you how I repurposed the useless buttons on my TV remote to control the LEDs behind my TV. You can also use this technique to control all sorts of things with a bit of code editing. I will also talk a bit about the theory of how an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver communicates with each other.

Ever wanted to use your TV remote to control your next project? Then you might find this video useful!
Wo bistn du her? ;-)
Same TV as mine and remote
hi scoot do you have te arduino code in your site?
+GreatScott! I'm having a problem with the dimming and brightening of the led. I put in my code, but it does not dim or brighten. The on/off works however...
+Cheese Shmabe do you have the LED on a PWM pin on the arduino?
How have I not found this channel already..this is amazing
You're a very talented man with a good sense of humour; even if you have strange accent! Cheers and thanks!
8233Eire it's a German accent btw
He is german
@@thedavinator37 Everyone knows that. Everyone.
Markus Schnepf thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment from 2 years ago.
@@thedavinator37 you see, it took me 2 years to find the right words... xD
I have the opposite problem, whenever I change the volume on my tv, my led lights change to a really fast flashing light
same why?
f u I was researching it and I guess the button in my remote is the same and the button in my led controller and it is clicking the buttons when I change the volume
Aaliyah Essien ohh so is there anyway to fix it?
Aaliyah Essien it changed with my roku remote is sucks
f u not that I know of I’m still using two remotes because only one works on the tv but the other remotes volume works and it doesn’t change my lights really fast
Very nice, simple and effective. I am thinking about total colour control using 3 mosfets, one per color and an extra button to switch between them.
me: YES HE HAS THE SAME REMOTE AS ME
him: *grabs a different remote*
Amazing videos you always put so much effort into them. Subscribed!
this code is very practical! Thank you very much for sharing this!
Nice project. Thanks for the extra time devoted to the method of using the Arduino to get the remotes key codes.
ThankYou , you were my inspiration for my new channel!!! Love Your Videos !
This is something really creative , good job broo!!
You're really great, Scott! Thanks and keep on!
Hey Scott!
First of, I'd like to mention that I love your videos! I'm very new to the world of electronics and microcontrollers and therefore would like to ask you a question regarding this project. since you have soldered all cathodes to one on the LED-strip, you cant change the light color... so is it possible to still change the lights via arduino if I'd use three MOSFET's and wire each of them to one of the cathodes?
thanks alot!
Thank you for the great content, it would be great if you add some Arduino ide programming videos. For example explaining how to program some of your old projects. It would be really helpful.
a huge thanks from Brazil, keep it up mate
you're a pretty smart guy, love these videos
I am thinking of right now and who better to explain then great Scott!
great video, i just made it myself, had almost no problems. thanks
Your video inspired me to use my universal remote (Logitech Harmony) to remotely control my LED strip. No arduino needed.
Im assuming this would be able to be integrated into a LED matrix (like your other video). Being able to cycle through different animations. That would be a pretty cool video!
What about the voltage drop between source and drain on the mosfet when is "fully open" ? Have you measured it? Considering how much LED current (and brightness) is sensitive respect to the voltage variations, I think that it is an important parameter to check. If not, you can't reach the maximum brightness that the LED strip can achieve. However great video! Thanks for sharing!
This gives me so many ideas. Thank you.
Thanks for your videos, they have been very helpful
Nice project I will try it. Thanks for sharing.
i love your project.
i learn many thing from you
thax
I like a lot of your projects!
Truly impressive, your wat i call a genius!
Hey GreatScott, I love your channel and I am a huge electronics enthuisiast. I do not have a job currently and have trouble finding good websites to buy components for projects. It would be a great help if you could tell me what sources you buy components from, or cheap places to get them. thanks, love your videos, keep uploading.
good job,
your video was awesome & it was very useful,
thanks.
Superb video, Danke! I am just wondering why do you need the capacitor between Vs and GND? Stabilize the voltage because of the long cable?
This video is absolutely awesome and very usefull thanks ! :)
Great video. Thankyou for making this!
"Well why this crap?"
Haha, this made me laugh so hard
+Johnathan Eilers Oh god, I'm not alone :-) These video's put such a smile on my face and are a great source of knowledge, I love it !
+Ncl Bgn Literally, tears in my eyes
Johnathan Eilers me too!
nice little project, thanks for sharing :)
Another great video! Thanks again!
great video as always really enjoyed it, however, how do you know which button to press? I have been trying to work on this for ages and I will play with the buttons on my remote, however my remote has numerous channels and takes a long time for me to get through all the buttons. Only occasionally will the hex code come up.
Awesome stuff! What is the capacitor for though?
good job man. I was looking for something like this.
Ally NKUNDIBIZA me to
Hi,
(Hello from France)
I'm wondering what is the power consumption when the leds are at their lowest luminosity (turned off) ?
It might be a good idea to detect when the ON/OFF button on the remote is activated to turn on and off the leds at the same time and then there's just the arduino power consuption?
What do you think?
I'm watching your video nearly everyday at my office during lunch break. I really appreciate the way you expose electronic. I 'played' with electronic components since I was 10 years old (I'm 50 now) and I'm still learning from your video. Thanks for that!
cheers
Thank you for that Video :)
It helped me out realy much !
Please keep doing such nice projects and Videos.
Is your mother tongue german ? :)
thank you so so much,u r a genius.please could you teach us also how to create and program a new IR signal to control existant IR receiving devices?
Now, modify it so you can control the color :D
New fan. Great videos man
just put this together with my Arduino Yun, and it worked straight of the bat, I say Mr Great Scott spiffing show old bean, what a fun and useful experiment!love ya accent by the way ha!I've subscribed to you now and watch all your other uploads, but if this hadn't worked I probably would have said "what a silly man" or words to that effect.I got my sensor out of an old Panasonic DVD player, it had...IR7501 written on it, pin 1 was signal and pin 2 was ground, if anyone is interested.I love playing with light so I love lasers, hope ya got fun shit to do with themcheers
awesome, just what I needed it, thanks
Thank you so much. You helped me a lot.
Thanks Scott, i just wondered, you used an RGB LED Strip right, can we asign a useless buton to change the color of the LEDs ?
nice project. I will try next time. thanks
Thank you, very well done!
great video! just one question, I'm curious why "you need proper interruptions between copper tracings" ?
Thanks for making this. I dreamt up so many ideas that you have brought to life. Theres very little I know on the side of electronics since I'm majoring in computer engineering tech. I'm still trying to learn electronics on my own and combine the two with some ideas pending.
great videos!
very cool project
Very nice video dude!!
Really awesome tutorial.
Afrotechmods and that ultra super cap!
Cool idea. Thanks!
I made a similar set-up yesterday. You can control any electrical device with this.
i love your work. I don't have an arduino nano, so how can i go about with the IR decoding without using the arduino nano? pls really need your help
Cool scott, keep moving...
usa seis botoes.. voce pode controlar tres cores rgb, e por a cor que quiser.. otimo video
Greetings 'm from Colombia and I see your videos very much like me thank you very much from you where it is ?
this guy is awesome... i want such guys in my home
keep making cool stuff that's affordable and other folks can make too.
P.s I noticed the German accent considering you're doing this stuff and college is free in Germany what kind of engineer exactly are you?
very good pronunciation. my english isn't perfect, but i understood you from the first time!
great scott thank you so much
you are best of electronics
Thank you, very helpful.. And I could listen to you say Hot Glue all day long..:-)
That was really cool!!!
awesommeeeeee!!!! I like turning my house into a smart house
Can I use the ATTiny85 instead of the Arduino Nano? Great video, though!
Das ist wirklich eine Richtig gute Idee
Great! i wish i have all the tools needed :D
Question:- Which tool you use for recording your computer's screen?
I have learned so much watching your channel !! Thanks a ton !!! {:>)
Great one, thanks.
i am great fan of you like . I just love your videos. In some of your videos you have put the arduino in sleep mode. I was wondering how you do that. It would be great if you do a video based on that specific topic of "put an arduino in to sleep". :)
I think Kevin Darrah made a video about the subject.
Hi! Great video! One question though... Why exactly did you need the capacitor? I am brand new to this kind of thing.
+John Spillane The capacitor is used to smooth out any "bumps" in the current flowing to the Arduino; it is a fail safe of sorts.
great channel man 😄👍👍👍
Awesome project. I might try this if my dad lets me hot glue an LED strip to his tv stand lol
Awesome! :)
Now i've got some use for my Arduino Nano - There are actually not that much projects out there for it..
You can use almost any "Arduino"-project with your Nano. It's just the form factor that's different. Electrically it's the same as an Uno or similar board.
*****
That may be, but then I would have to rewrite the codes and use other ports
This would really be awesome with a logitech harmony remote. You could create a fully automated home movie theater with lights that dim when the movie starts.
Fantastic , it helped. thak you .
Hi Scott. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have a link to a website/video explaining how to use the hexadecimal code from the receiver, and recreate it with an IR led connected to the Arduino? Any and all help will be appreciated.
Great work I dont know if this is normal but I have a RCA TV remote and the red and green buttons can turn my LED light strip brightness up and down and only those two buttons I bought the light strip this year and have had my RCA flat screen for 3yrs
Great idea ! Thanks : )
How to do this without the arduino?
Great video :)
You are TALENTED man!
but is it possible to shrink it to an ATTiny85? or maybe to an ATTiny13?
and shrinking means, upload this sketch to an ATTiny instead of UNO.
actually, I tried, but I had a problem with the timer.
Any suggestions?
you are a genius dude
Awesome, cool too cool and definitely your are way too genius....
What is the benefit of the capacitor ?
Great project 👌
Filtering voltage
Thank you Nick b
excellent brother.. :))) i love to make it ..but A problem..I am a mechanic and zero at electronic. .can You explain each and every step with Components So I can make It..and that computer codeing too..Waiting for ur rply..
You are a fucking genius man your videos had impress me i see your videos and i ask my self if i study Electronic Engineering i will do this and even more? you are a genius man keep it up dude
Hello GrestScott, I have one question for you. I made similar coding just for relay on and off. On arduino uno it works just fine, but when I try sending it on attiny85, nothing happens. I made some project with attiny85 and thay all works so it's not problem in programing attiny. Can you help me pls??
I found a couple of remote controls from old toys, with 4 button, and an extendable antenna, instead of an IR. Do you have an instructional video on how to repurpose this type of remote? I have a total of 3, and can send you 1 for testing, and to keep if interested. They are really cool remotes, hense the reason I want to repurpose them.
Hello your video is awesome and can i connect on this 120 v lamp ?
Yes, if you use relay. There are thousands of tutorials online
AWESOME PROJECTMAY I HAVE YOUR INSTRUCTABLE SITE
On this holidays remember to share with your family a great time... by controlling the x-ma's tree's lights with the TV controller :')
Do we have to use the capacitor ?
because the carrier wave has been removed, the set up is vulnerable to stray IR light as explained by Mr Greatscott, so I flicked my cigarette lighter in front of it and behold it gave it a HEX code! Wonder how many suspicious cigarette's I would have to light to get the same HEX code ?
I thought the carrier was removed AFTER the detector, i.e. the IR sensor is still protected?
Hmm...
Thats quite interesting.
So, cigarettes burn particles 36.000 times a second(36 KHz)
Use a cigarette lighter to turn on LEDs. Lel
