Most remote controls send signals using infrared light. When you press a button on the remote, it sends a pulse of infrared light to a sensor on your TV or Stereo that tells it what to do. The Remote Trigger module is also activated by infrared light, which means you can use a regular household remote to send signals to your littleBits circuits.
In this video, we have a very simple circuit: Power → Remote Trigger → LED. When is Remote Trigger is activated, it will send an ON signal to the LED and light it up. You’ll notice that when we press a button on the remote control, the LED lights up, and when we let go of the button, the LED turns off.
