Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 75: Using an Infrared IR Remote Control in MicroPython

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this video, I will show you how to use an IR remote with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. This lesson shows how to read button presses from the remote control unit. I then give a homework to create a usable system based on the IR remote. The video will take you through the process step by step. Enjoy!

Thanks Paul! Lesson 75 is certainly a turning point for me. I can wait for the upcoming lessons! You are not mean for giving us the homework, but what you illustrate as a tool box, I see it as a football thrown downfield, we got it, but now we have cross the finish line...

Great content, Paul! However, I folded up like a cheap Walmart lawnchair on yet another assignment. I really spent time this weekend, and enjoyed the challenge. I am, therefore, looking forward to your solution. Thank you for the great content.

Thanks for the lesson Paul. Appreciate your efforts as always.

Hi Paul, thank you for the amazing lesson! Do you have any plans of making Robot Operating System (ROS) tutorials?

Nice! Been a while since I played with the IR. I forgot about the repeat signal. Cool thing is this will work with the non W Pico as well. The IR is not great for a classroom project as all the remotes give off the same signals and they bounce everywhere! I look forward to see where you take this. Thanks for all you do.

I like cat videos, but I swear yours are No. 2 😉

Paul, is the IR LED susceptible to failure/interference?

[fabersoaks]

HI Big Fan! was wondering If you Will make more videos for the Raspberry pi playlist? Maybe more wonderful Advance stuff for the Raspberry Pi 😀

Having trouble submitting homeworks, Paul. I submit them in the same wayI have previously, but the comments containing the links seem to get removed shortly after I add them. Any thoughts on what I could do differently? Thanks - and awesome work as usual.
