Arduino Wireless Remote

Designed a system to control various home appliances using a mobile phone. Using Arduino, an InfraRed LED and pulse width modulation.  My first hands on on Arduino and electronics.
Reversed engineered the RC-5 commands from the IR remotes of various home appliances, using a logic analyzer. I then decoded them by hand and programmed them on the Arduino and connected to the IR LED and was able to control devices using my laptop. Later I connected the Arduino with a bluetooth module and was able to control the devices using my mobile phone by sending signals over bluetooth to the Arduino via my mobile phone. The experiment helped me to understand Bluetooth and Arduino platforms.
