I am designing a game where you would shoot an IR gun at an object that would turn a light on and stay on until manually reset. I don't know much about electronics and any help would be appreciated.

An IR receiver works by receiving infrared signals from a transmitter, such as a remote control. These signals are then decoded and converted into electrical signals that can trigger a specific action, such as turning on a relay to activate a light.
To build an IR receiver, you will need an IR receiver module, an IR sensor, a microcontroller, a relay, and a power supply. You may also need resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components depending on the specific design of your receiver.
Yes, as long as the relay is compatible with the voltage and current requirements of the light you are trying to turn on. It is important to check the datasheet of your relay and make sure it can handle the power requirements of your light.
The coding process will vary depending on the specific microcontroller and IR receiver components you are using. There are many online tutorials and resources available to help you with coding your IR receiver. It is important to carefully follow the instructions and test your code to ensure it is functioning correctly.
Yes, you can use an IR receiver to trigger multiple relays, each connected to a different light. However, you will need to properly configure your coding and circuit design to ensure that the correct relay is triggered for each specific infrared signal received.
