DIY IR Remote

Create your own infrared remote that you can activate programmatically.

Getting Started

Look at the examples in the examples folder. emit.rs is for using a Raspberry Pi with a 940nm IR LED connected as a remote. receive.rs is to decode the signal that an existing remote sends so that you can mimick the behaviour of an existing remote. The examples use a Raspberry Pi, but this library works on anything that Rust works on. See my example which uses this library on an ESP32-C3.

Wiring Diagram

Tested Devices

These signal pulses of these devices should be decoded by the current logic:

• Generic plastic button grid remote (tested 3 different ones, they all use the same protocol)
• A Pioneer Sound System
• A Samsung TV

Let me know if you have a device with a signal that doesn't get decoded and I can help decode it.
