Turn LEDs On/Off Via Remote Control in a Model

I made this system in orders to highlight different floors in my building model while presenting this architectural project in-front of the jury members at the architectural school , the light would make the life easier so you don’t have to point with your fingers at the space you want to talk about.

I use a simple Arduino code to lighten up my LEDs using a remote control. So I will show you here in this tutorial how to achieve the system step by step.

Supplies

1) IR Receiver Module Wireless Remote Control K set https://www.hepsiburada.com/robo-dunya-ir-alici-verici-kumanda-seti-ir-receiver-module-wireless-remote-control-k-p-HBCV00003Z3XIR?magaza=RoboD%C3%BCnya

7) 9 volt batteryhttps://www.hepsiburada.com/varta-superlife-9v-pil-shrink-ambalaj-p-HBCV00000NQ35F?magaza=%C3%87TNGRUP

8) Barrel jack cable suitable for Arduinohttps://www.hepsiburada.com/elektronikport-9-v-pil-basligi-barrel-jack-arduino-uyumlu--p-HBCV00000FJDR2?magaza=Elektronikport

Software:

Arduino IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Step 1:

Please follow the image to build the circuit.

Step 2:

Open the Arduino IDE software, start new sketch and copy paste this code.

Step 3:

CONNECT your Arduino board to the laptop by the USB cable and click the uploading command in the software.

Step 4:

After uploading the code, you can disconnect from the laptop and connect the Arduino board to the battery.

Step 5:

Now you should be done. Turn the light on/off your LEDS via the remote control, according to the assigned buttons in the code.

Step 6:

You can install the lights in your models if you wish and arrange to hide the cables.
