uxcell VS1838 IR Receiver 10M-15M 38KHZ Infrared Diode for Arduino 10pcs

in this video i will show you how to use a remote control with the esp32 basically all you need is an infrared receiver and a simple remote you can buy these from different brands but i got mine from an lagoo starter kit you can find a link in the video description now let's start by connecting the ir receiver to the esp32 the one that i have is an hx 1838 sensor with three pins labeled g r and y the g is ground r is vcc or 3 volts and y is the signal pin or data pin so to connect it wire ground to ground vcc to the 3 volt pin and then connect the signal pin to any gpio pin on your esp32 board in this video i will use pin number 5. once connected we can start working on the software we'll need a way to decode the ir signals into something usable and to do that i will use the ir remote arduino library to install it as a dependency i'm going to add it to my platformio.ini file like we've
