Infrared Remote Control is very mature technology and it is still popular. Many home appliances like TV, air-conditioner still uses IR Remote Control.

This infrared wireless remote control kit enable makers and students to use this technology and Arduino comes with many IR libraries and examples.

This IR RC kit consists of Mini ultra-thin infrared remote control and 38KHz infrared receiver module. The mini ultra-thin infrared remote control comes with 17 function keys. And with transmission distance of up to 8 meters, it is very suitable for indoor control of various equipment. Infrared receiver module can receive the standard 38KHz modulation of the remote control signal, through the programming, you can achieve the remote control signal decoding operation, which can produce a variety of remote control robot and interactive works.
