IR Protocol Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example illustrates how to encode and decode RMT signals with/to common IR protocols (e.g. NEC and RC5).

NEC and RC5 have different encoding rules, but both can be compatible to RMT data format.

The example supports building and parsing both normal and extended NEC/RC5 protocol. And also supports repeat code which would be sent out if one remote key got pressed for a specific long time.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

  • A development board with ESP32 SoC (e.g. ESP32-DevKitC or ESP-WROVER-KIT)
  • An USB cable for power supply and programming
  • A 5mm infrared LED (e.g. IR333C) used to transmit encoded IR signals
  • An infrared receiver module (e.g. IRM-3638T), which integrates a demodulator and AGC circuit.

Example connection :

ESP32 IR333C IRM-3638T
GPIO18 Tx ×
GPIO19 × Rx
VCC 5V ×
VCC 3.3V ×
GND GND GND

Configure the Project

Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig).

In the Example Configuration menu:

  • Select the infrared protocol used in the example under Infrared Protocol option.
  • Set the GPIO number used for transmitting the IR signal under RMT TX GPIO option.
  • Set the GPIO number used for receiving the demodulated IR signal under RMT RX GPIO option.

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for all the steps to configure and use the ESP-IDF to build projects.
