有了前文《紅外遙控：智能學習紅外遙控編碼》的介紹，接下來如果要通過Rainbow的紅外遙控取控制家電就非常簡單了。
首先我們可以通過紅外接收程序取得遙控器相應按鍵的原始編碼，然后讓Rainbow產生38K載波，再按照原始編碼中的時間序列去控制載波發送和停止發送，即可以實現對家電的控制。
STM32是3.3V低功耗MCU，GPIO管腳的電流一般在8mA左右，如果直接去推動紅外發光二極管發送紅外指令的話，紅外發射功率很小，距離稍微遠點(1m左右)、角度對得不準的話，家電就無法接收到紅外信號，表現為家電對發送的紅外指令不理會。為了解決這一問題，Rainbow中專門增加了紅外放大電路，讓紅外發送功率增加，使得Rainbow像普通紅外遙控器一樣對家電進行控制。
本文主要涉及到紅外發射部分，紅外原始編碼的獲取可以通過前文《紅外遙控：智能學習紅外遙控編碼》介紹的程序提取。本文增加了串口接收功能，可以接收來自上位機串口傳來的數據，并根據上位機傳來的數據控制開關空調：上位機上發送1，開空調；發送0關空調。本文的程序在美的空調上測試通過，在軟件包的“Projects\IR-Send”文件夾包含了本文的完整工程，可以直接編譯、燒寫和調試。這個程序主要展示如何在Rainbow中接收來自上位機指令并遙控空調，看看main.cpp的代碼：
#include "WProgram.h"
#include "IRRemote.h"
int main()
{
//初始化Rainbow
boardInit();
//初始化默認串口
Serial.begin();
Serial.println("IR-Send start...");
//定義紅外發射對象，紅外發光二極管接到TIM2的CH1，即：PA0
IRSend irSend;
//美的空調：開

通過Rainbow發送紅外遙控原始編碼非常簡單，只需要經過以下幾個簡單步驟：
1、定義紅外發送對象：IRSend irSend;
2、設置載波的頻率：irSend.enableIROut(38)，這里38表示載波頻率是38K
3、準備紅外遙控原始編碼，可以通過遙控接收程序直接取得
4、調用發送函數按照原始編碼的定義發送出去：irSend.sendRaw(rawData_0, len0)
上面的程序編譯無誤后，將程序燒寫到Rainbow中，并將紅外發光二極管插入到Rainbow中專為紅外發光二極管設計的接口中，將紅外發光二極管對準空調，然后在電腦上運行串口調試工具并和Rainbow連接成功，在串口調試工具中輸入1發送到Rainbow，此時美的空調將會滴的一聲打開了；再輸入0發送出去，美的空調將會滴的一聲，然后關閉電源。
