Arduino Uno IR receiver and serial communication

Projects General Guidance

Hello Everyone^^
Im new to arduino and have been playing with my Arduino Uno. I have an idea to connect up IR receiver pin and program the ARDUINO UNO to respond to a specific IR signal sent via IR remote control . When that IR signal is received the Arduino will transmit a serial command to another serial device connect via a RS232 module. I was thinking of using software serial library to help with serial communication. Would this idea be possible ?

Thank you in advance

The following is the most popular IR remote control library:

To connect arduino to an RS232 logic level device, use one of these:

Hi5 !
Me too working on similar project.
Although I am not sending the instructions received by IR remote to another device but computer.

Your idea is absolutely feasible. You just need to include IRremote library available here.

Start off by going throught the examples provided with the IRremote library. Then make some tests with Serial or SoftwareSerial.

If you are not using the built-in Serial for other purposes, it would generally be better to use that ahead of SoftwareSerial.

Thank you for your help everybody ( (?´?`?))

I shall i give it ago! (•??•?)? ??
