This handy little remote will allow you to control your MusicMaker from a distance. Before going any further, pull the clear plastic piece out of the back of the remote.
In order to read commands from the IR remote, you will need to find the bag labeled IR Sensor. If you did the previous steps, you can clear out the switch, the volume knob, and wires from the breadboard. This remote will handle all of those things. Also, if you want to add more tracks so you can switch between them, the code is currently set up to handle 3 files. Just add more mp3 files with the same naming format (track001.mp3, track002.mp3, track003.mp3, etc).
Install your SD card and wire everything up like this:
For this bit of code you will need to install the Adafruit_VS1053 (which you probably already have if you did the other projects) and the IR Remote for ESP8266 library. You can find the IR library here
Just upload the code below and open your serial console to watch what happens when you click the buttons on the remote. Press the number 1 on the remote to start that track. Play, pause, and volume keys also work.
