Code

The Dumper.ino sketch is based on the ReceiveDump.cpp demo from the Arduino-IRremote library.

Point a remote control at the receiver and press a button. The full dump of the pack is echoed to the console:

About LEAP#624 IRArduino
Project Source on GitHub Return to the LEAP Catalog

LEAP is just my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know (or send a PR!). See the individual projects for credits where due.

For a while I have also included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split those off into a new repository. Check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for the modelling projects!
