The IR Receiver is a sensor capable of detecting signals from an IR Remote Control. The IR Receiver is able to decode infrared signals. IR stands for InfRared. Support for this module combo is found in mDesigner.

Note: An IR Receiver CANNOT be used in the same project as a Buzzer as they use the same timer resource.

Blocks

IR Controller - State

This block checks if the IR Receiver connected to pin number with key of interest is at a state.
If the check conditions are met (true), then a boolean true is returned. If the check fails, then a boolean false is returned.

Note: An IR Receiver CANNOT be used in the same project as a Buzzer as they use the same timer resource.

  • Pin Number - the pin IR Receiver is connected to.
  • Key - the key / button of interest.
  • State - the state to check for.
  • released - if the key of interest is not being pressed.
  • pressed - if the key of interest has been pressed as some point. The pressed at some point is reset when the block checks for this condition.
  • pressing - if the key of interest is currently being held down at the time of checking. (As opposed to pressed, which happened at some point.)
