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.
