RGB LED Strip Controllers: IR Codes
Back around Christmas time, my son Samuel and I designed and built an alarm clock with the unusual capability of waking him up with a pulsing bright light. To the RGB LED Strip Light Alarm Clock we added an IR receiver module and code to allow independent control of the LED strip using a readily available 24-key IR transmitter. In addition we also coded four special light effects. Along with the 24-key IR remote that we used in the clock…

IR Remote Special Functions
After building the RGB LED Strip Alarm Clock, the software development continued with the addition of IR Remote functionality with operation of the preset colours and intensity controls. The four special functions – FLASH, STROBE, FADE and SMOOTH – have now been added to the software load. These four functions provide interesting dynamic light effects by directly controlling the LED strip. In a similar manner to other IR Remote functions, an alarm event overrides this control of the LED strip…

IR Remote for RGB Strip Alarm Clock
My son and my Christmas vacation project was the RGB LED STRIP ALARM CLOCK, designed to wake him up with a warm pulsing pool of light. In addition to the normal alarm clock functions, he also wanted to use the IR Remote Controller sold with the RGB LED Strip as a separate control. However, subsequent experiments showed that a mechanical switch (a single-pole double-throw for each colour channel) would be required to select between the alarm and the IR controller….
