Complete schematic for Appliance Remote Control 18 CHAPTER 2 „ APPLIANCE REMOTE CONTROL Instructions Test and Investigate Appliance Remote Plug the appliance remote control receiver into a handy power outlet and then plug an appliance (a small lamp is ideal when testing) into the socket on the receiver. Test that the unit works correctly in factory form by using the remote control to turn the appliance on and off. There’s no point doing a lot of work modifying something if it doesn’t work as intended in the first place!

Arduino and shield using an appliance remote control to activate a lamp Variations Wireless Link Rather than having the Arduino tethered to a computer, you could replace the USB connection with a wireless link such as an XBee or 433MHz wireless module or even with an Ethernet shield to provide you with a web-services interface to your appliances. WiFi and Ethernet connectivity are discussed in later projects. Automatic Trigger The example programs rely on messages being sent to the Arduino via a serial connection.

27 CHAPTER 2 „ APPLIANCE REMOTE CONTROL The program then runs the setup function that tells the CPU to switch each of those digital pins into output mode, then forces them to an initial low state so all the relays are turned off when the program starts running. It also opens the serial port (USB on a Duemilanove) for communication with the host computer at a speed of 38400bps. begin(38400); // Set up the pins as outputs pinMode(output1, OUTPUT); pinMode(output2, OUTPUT); pinMode(output3, OUTPUT); pinMode(output4, OUTPUT); pinMode(output5, OUTPUT); pinMode(output6, OUTPUT); pinMode(output7, OUTPUT); pinMode(output8, OUTPUT); // Make sure the outputs are all set LOW initally digitalWrite(output1, LOW); digitalWrite(output2, LOW); digitalWrite(output3, LOW); digitalWrite(output4, LOW); digitalWrite(output5, LOW); digitalWrite(output6, LOW); digitalWrite(output7, LOW); digitalWrite(output8, LOW); } The program then enters the main loop, which is where the real action happens.
