Before we can start using the infrared controller, we need to make the code to control the servos using buttons. This code will be used later and modified to be used with the infrared. 

Use the following diagram to build the servo controller. This design mimics the controls you will have on the infrared controller later. 

Parts required include: 1 x Servo Motor, 1 x Arduino UNO R3 Board, 2 x Pushbuttons, 2 x 220 Ω resistors, and connector cables.

The following code is what I used when assembling the controller.

#include <Servo.h>               //Include the servo library

Servo myservo;                     //Make an integer for the Servo

int val;                                    //Make a value for the rotation
const int buttonPin = 2;         //Set a state and integer for the left button
int buttonState = 0;
const int button2Pin = 3;      //Set a state and integer for the right button
int button2State = 0;

void setup()
{
  myservo.attach(9);                     //Attach the servo to pin 9 
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);     //Set both button 1 and 2 as inputs
  pinMode(button2Pin, INPUT);
  myservo.write(90);                    //Set the rotation value to 90*
}                                                   // this will be considered the "neutral" state

void loop()
{
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);       //Assign the states of the buttons
  button2State = digitalRead(button2Pin);  // to HIGH or LOW respective to their state
  if (buttonState == HIGH){                           //If the "Left rotate button" is pushed
    val = 150;                                                 // set the rotation value to 150
  }                                                                 // (max 180* modify to your range)
  else if (button2State == HIGH){                //If the "Right rotate button" is pushed
    val = 30;                                                 // set the rotation value to 30 
  }                                                                // (max 0* modify to your range)
  else {                                                        //If neither or pushed reset to the neutral (90*)
    val = 90;
  }
  
  myservo.write(val);                                  //Have the servos rotation match
  delay(15);                                                 // the rotation value
}

 Copy this code into your program and test it. When you push each button the servo should rotate roughly 45* .

I have also included the circuit diagram for this step. You can find it under files.

Next you'll be putting the full circuit together. This will include 

2 x Servo Motor, 1 x Arduino UNO R3 Board, 1 x 1 kΩ resistors, an infrared receiver + remote, and connector cables.

Use the following diagram to complete the Circuitry

Then you'll want to include the following code:

#include <IRremote.h>
#include <Servo.h>

const byte Reciever = 4;   //Make a constant for the IR Receiver
const byte LASER = 5;      //Make a constant for the LED (representing the laser)
Servo TILT;                        //Connect a servo for the angle Tilt
Servo AIM;                        //Connect a second servo for the rotation Aim
int val;                               //Make 2 Variables, these are used to set the angle
int val2;                            // of the servos

IRrecv irrecv(Reciever);   //Connect the previously constant of the IR Receiver
decode_results results;  // to the IR remote and determine which button is pressed

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);           //Start the serial monitor
pinMode(LASER, OUTPUT); //Set the LED as an output
  TILT.attach(3);                      //Attach the servos to their pins
  AIM.attach(2);
    val = 0;
    val2 = 0;
    irrecv.enableIRIn();           //Enable the receiver to "receive" data
}  

void loop()
{
  TILT.write(val);       //Check servo values and
  AIM.write(val2);    // angle the servos to match
  
if (irrecv.decode(&results))     //If the reciver collects data
  {
    Serial.print("irCode: ");                 //print”irCode: ”
    Serial.print(results.value, HEX);   //print the value in hexdecimal
    Serial.print(", bits: ");                     //print” , bits: ”
    Serial.println(results.bits);            //print the bits
    irrecv.resume();                            //Wait for the next input + data    
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD00FF){   //Power button
    digitalWrite(LASER,HIGH);        //Turn on the laser
    val = 90;                                    //Set servo values 
    val2 = 90;                    
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD40BF)  //Stop function button
  {
    digitalWrite(LASER,LOW);       //Turn everything off
    val = 1;
    val2 = 1;
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD28D7){   // #2 Button
    val = 150;
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD6897){   // #8 Button
    val = 30;
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD8877){   // #6 Button
    val2 = 150;
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFD9867){   // #4 Button
    val2 = 30;
  }
  
  if (results.value == 0xFDA857){   // #5 Button
    val = 90;
    val2 = 90;
  }
}

Copy this code and run it. If done correctly the buttons should either turn the led on / off, and rotate the servos. The values can be changed to your need. 

The circuit diagram has also been included.  Unfortunately I have not made a physical build of this project yet, but stay tuned. The future is coming.
