00:00.180 --> 00:06.300
In the following lessons, you will learn how to control your Arduino application with an infrared remote

00:06.300 --> 00:14.030
control that you have now just finished the sections on the ultrasonic sensor and the LCD display screen,

00:14.460 --> 00:21.150
those two components, the first being a sensor and the signal being an actuator, allow you to create

00:21.150 --> 00:22.670
more complex applications.

00:23.100 --> 00:30.300
You can now get the distance from an obstacle or a wall and also add visual information with text,

00:30.450 --> 00:32.190
which is super useful.

00:32.760 --> 00:40.560
Now we are going to focus on the infrared remote control and the setup will contain an infrared receiver

00:40.800 --> 00:45.390
and a remote controller sending, of course, infrared signals.

00:46.070 --> 00:50.760
This controller is very similar to the controllers you use in everyday life.

00:50.760 --> 00:54.150
So we are going to use the remote controller from the starter kit.

00:54.390 --> 01:00.840
But later on, you will also be able to use other TV controller directly with your original application.

01:01.380 --> 01:07.140
During the following lessons, I will show you how to set up your Arduino secret and then you will discover

01:07.140 --> 01:10.510
how to get which button was pressed by the user.

01:11.040 --> 01:16.980
You will learn how to map buttons with your code to use any remote controller, and you will then be

01:16.980 --> 01:21.330
able to execute actions depending on the button which was pressed.

01:21.690 --> 01:27.070
This is really nice and we increase a lot the number of applications that you can create.

01:27.660 --> 01:29.210
Now let's get started.
