I’m following-up a previous Topic with a Concise posting (with Example and Code… in Fritzing)
Example:
Using IR receiver 1838 an Panasonic Cd Player’s Remote (but, most any IR-based remote will work along with most any IR receiver (just be sure to Hook it up correctly per Specification).
Code:
This simple code uses one of the Atmel chip timers to Generate a Square-Wave @ 38.4kHz.
That enables paring with output from remote. The timer’s implementation is well-known and often used.
The image shows a capture on O’Scoope with decoding info of the Number ‘5’ button pressed.
This stuff can be confusing to Newbies but, a small amount of homework = knowledge!
Code is included… It should be on the Code tab in the attached .fzz file but, it’s also added at end of this post…

The Code:
/* Reads IR recvier on Analog Pin
Uses “38.4kHz_Timer and IR_Analog_Tester codes; Combined into this single code”
Reads Sony/similar Remote Control
Wave form will be seen on pin D3
Pulse received from Remote Control will be seen on A0
