1. Overview

I would like to work electronically on the infrared transmission LED.
We will understand the mechanism of remote control signals and modulation, and create circuits using LEDs and transistors.
This electronic work will eventually become a series of making a smart remote controller.

2. Overall flow of Smart Remote Controller Production

We will eventually create a smart remote control, and we will distribute it in a total of 7 posts.
This is the fourth infrared transmission LED.

6Remote control with smartphone(at home)We will create software that to operate the remote control with smartphone indoors. (Button name, signal save/read)
7Operate from outside And AI speaker cooperationWe will create software to operate the remote control with smartphone from the outdoors, and AI speaker cooperation.

3. The development environment

Arduino was developed in Italy under the philosophy of “making things easier and easier to understand”.
Currently, it is widely used for learning all over the world, and the library is also substantial.
So, if you want to start electronic work, I think this is the only development environment.
Therefore, I use Arduino at this time.

5. Circuit diagram

When IO32 of ESP32 is set to output and this terminal is turned ON, a large current flows between the collector and the emitter by passing a current through the base of the transistor, and the infrared transmission LED can be lit.

6. Wiring diagram

we will perform wiring according to this circuit diagram.
Here is the wiring diagram.

6. Software

Here is the Arduino sketch(program).
