We've grown a little spoiled. At some point during the progression of televisions and media devices, remote controls went from infrared sensors that required a direct line-of-sight between the ...

Plugging this sensor into a laptop and running Audacity while pressing the buttons on the remote got them audio files that play the remote’s codes.

[Gregory] figured out the codes by using an Arduino to read the output of the TV’s remote with an IR sensor. The hook here is the code is written in MicroPython, using IR libraries from [Peter ...

When using the remote, be sure to point it directly at the remote sensor on the Sony TV. Make sure that the IR sensor located on the TV has not been covered or obscured.

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be ...

Researchers have developed a smart sensor for DARPA that’s capable of identifying infrared -- without having to have its own power source.
