IR Remote Control of PICAXE Micro
The PICAXE microcontroller is designed for simplicity and ease of use, particularly in educational and hobbyist applications. The code structure typically involves a main loop that utilizes the `irin` command to monitor incoming infrared (IR) signals. This command allows the microcontroller to detect signals from an IR remote control or other IR transmitting devices.
Upon receiving a valid code, the PICAXE stores this value in a variable for further processing. The main loop's continuous operation ensures that the system remains responsive to incoming signals, facilitating real-time interaction with the user or other devices.
In practical applications, this setup can be used for various purposes, such as controlling electronic devices, navigating menus, or triggering specific actions based on the received IR codes. The simplicity of the PICAXE programming environment allows users to easily modify and expand the code to suit their specific project needs, making it an ideal choice for beginners and those looking to prototype quickly.
For a complete schematic, additional components such as the IR receiver module, power supply, and output devices (like LEDs or motors) would be incorporated, ensuring that the entire system operates cohesively.The PICAXE basic code is easy: the main loop keeps looking for a signal from the IR receiver via the irin command. When it gets a code, it places in.. 🔗 External reference
