How does the remote controlled sound alarm works At the heart of the circuit is the popular integrated infrared sensor TSOP1736.The TSOP1736 is a miniaturized receiver for infrared remote control ...

[SpiralBrain] needed to figure out the coding scheme used by an IR remote control so that he could use it with his own project. He built an IR receiver board for the PICkit 2 and figured out how to… ...

When the remote-start system is installed, you can send signals to the control module using the buttons on your car's remote transmitter.

Although, judging by the reviews, we’d suggest sticking with AnyMote instead. You can also use your iPhone to control an Apple TV – there’s a Apple TV remote control built into iOS.
