Infrared Receiver with Status LED

Image
This is the latest version of the Improved Infrared Receiver with Status LED which can control any desktop PC with an ordinary remote control. The project comes along with a small PCB in order to save space. It connects to the serial port as stated in the schematic and uses the freeware Girder (www.girder.nl) software together with Igor’s Plugin (www.cesko.host.sk/girderplugin.htm) to send commands to the PC. The potential uses of this device are countless (control MP3 players, CD and DVD players, radio and TV cards, even move the mouse cursor and shutdown the computer remotely !). Again, note that any ordinary remote control can be used by training Girder to learn its signals !

Infrared Emitter and Detector using IC 74LS14

Image
This circuit have applied to line detection of robot project, Good match between the transmitter and the detector is important for proper operation, especially if the hole is large. Robot with a simple object or obstacle detection. Infrared Transmitter detector pair sensors are relatively easy to implement, although involved some degree of testing and calibration in order to make correct. They can for the impediment, motion detection, transmitters, encoders are used, and the color detection. Infrared Emitter and Detector using IC 74LS14 Circuit Diagram: This can be done with a piece of rope stretched between and in accordance with LED and phototransistor. A length of stiff wire or plugs can be used to set the alignment. Another method that can be used for long distances is a laser pointer shone through a hole.
