Voice Control Bluetooth TV Remote

Introduction:

This simple project is about Bluetooth controlled voice TV remote with IR transmitter. This project can help you change your TV channels using your voice, with help of App called ' BT voice control '; available for Android not sure about iOS.

This app when connected to Bluetooth, converts your voice input to string and sends it to Arduino.

Connections:

• IR LED --> PWM pin 3

• hc_05 tx --> 11

• hc_05 rx --> 10

• Vcc --> Vcc (+5v)

• GND --> GND

Working:

You need to include the IR library for Arduino to transmit IR signals. The library is available here: https://github.com/pravindesai/Arduino-IRremote. You have to first decode your TV remotes IR signals using code:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
// Include the IRremote library header 
// 
#include <IRremote.h> 
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
// Tell IRremote which Arduino pin is connected to the IR Receiver (TSOP4838) 
// 
int recvPin = 11; 
IRrecv irrecv(recvPin); 
//+============================================================================= 
// Configure the Arduino 
// 
void  setup ( ) 
{ 
 Serial.begin(9600);   // Status message will be sent to PC at 9600 baud 
 irrecv.enableIRIn();  // Start the receiver 
} 
//+============================================================================= 
// Display IR code 
// 
void  ircode (decode_results *results) 
{ 
 // Panasonic has an Address 
 if (results->decode_type == PANASONIC) { 
   Serial.print(results->address, HEX); 
   Serial.print(":"); 
 } 
 // Print Code 
 Serial.print(results->value, HEX); 
}

You will get an array of 'unsigned int', just copy those array for every button on remote and replace in following codes function associated to number.

So, whenever you send a string like '907' it will transmit a IR signal, 1st for 9 and then 0 and then 7 and work like TV remote.

Make sure you keep IR LED pointing towards TV. Hope you like it (its my 1st time of sharing projects online)
