The Apple Remote is a remote control device that can be used to send instructions to a variety of Apple products, such as the Apple TV.
The primary purpose of this library is to emit Apple Remote infrared pulses that mimic those produced by the Apple Remote using an Arduino-compatible board and an IR LED
#include <AppleRemote.h>
// PWM~ PIN (an IR LED)
#define PIN_IR_OUTPUT 3
AppleRemote *appleRemote;
void setup() {
// We can pass either APPLE_REMOTE_MODEL_A or APPLE_REMOTE_MODEL_B to define
// the Apple Remote model we want to use.
appleRemote = new AppleRemote(PIN_IR_OUTPUT, APPLE_REMOTE_MODEL_A);
}
void loop() {
// Sends the IR signal that corresponds to the menu button in the Apple
// Remote.
appleRemote->Menu();
delay(10000);
}
This Arduino library can also recognize Apple Remote pulses sent by an actual controller with a little help from IRDump and an IR receiver.
class AppleRemote {
private:
/* Omitted */
public:
AppleRemote(int pin, int model);
void Menu();
void Right();
void Left();
void Up();
void Down();
void Play();
void Center();
void Repeat();
int Match(unsigned int *);
