You are going to want to follow this diagram the best you can. this diagram will show you how everything connects to each other. It is easier to do this with the perf board to keep everything neat. that way you dont tangle anything.

Files

Once you have soldered everything you will need to upload code to the Arduino. to do that you will need the Arduino IDE app on your computer at https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/. after get the code from https://gitlab.com/makeitforless/Universal_Remote

Coding

once you have those you can plug your Arduino to your computer and open the Arduino app. after opening the app make sure it has detected your device. if it has then upload the code we got into the app.

Libraries

before you upload the code to the Arduino, go to the library tab and search "IRremote by shirrff, z3t0, AminJo." and install version 4.1.1. download the Low power library from https://github.com/rocketscream/Low-Power and import it into the IDE app.

Ta Da

after all of that you can upload your code to the Arduino and it should just work.
