CIRCUIT
## Circuit
You can see how to connect your Arduino in the enclosed Fritzing files and
their rendered breadboard schematics. Basically, it's just the IR receiver

diode from that. Worked like a charm. :-)
SOFTWARE
## Software
After installing Ken Shirriff's IR receiver library in your Arduino
environment, everything you need is the enclosed sketch (irlicht.ino).

mode and colors should be active when the device is switched on.
USAGE
## Usage
If your remote is set up like mine, you get the following functions:
Some keys for basic color selection:
1 -- red
2 -- green
3 -- blue
5 -- white
7 -- yellow (red and green)
8 -- cyan (green and blue)
9 -- magenta (blue and red)
* 1 -- red
* 2 -- green
* 3 -- blue
* 5 -- white
* 7 -- yellow (red and green)
* 8 -- cyan (green and blue)
* 9 -- magenta (blue and red)
On the first press, the channel is turned on to 1/5 of maximum. Repeating the
key enhances the brightness, after five levels the channel is turned off again.
4 -- all channels on
6 -- all channels off
* 4 -- all channels on
* 6 -- all channels off
This turns the whole setup on or off with one single press of a button.
Flash -- Hard cycle through all colors (except white).
Fade -- Soft cycle through all colors (except white).
Strobe -- Turn the currently selected color on and off.
Soft -- Fade the current color from dark to a certain level and back.
* Flash -- Hard cycle through all colors (except white).
* Fade -- Soft cycle through all colors (except white).
* Strobe -- Turn the currently selected color on and off.
* Soft -- Fade the current color from dark to a certain level and back.
Dim -- Decrease the maximum brightness of the lamp.
Bright -- Increase the maximum brightness.
* Dim -- Decrease the maximum brightness of the lamp.
* Bright -- Increase the maximum brightness.
AllLightsOn -- Misleading name: this speeds up the current animation.
AllLightsOff -- Also misleading, although consistent: slows down the animation.
