I am using an IR transceiver in my design.This IC is working at 3.3V supply.This IC need not be on always so I decided to give a control to it's shut down pin (Pin no 5,Shutdown Input. Active low).A transistor switch is used for this purpose.When the switch is ON the transceiver will be active...
Infrared remote controllers are everywhere around us. The majority of home appliances are controlled using infrared remote controls. In this article/video, we learn to build a device that can decode (almost) any IR remote control and use the instructions to switch the relays (loads). So we can...
Hi all,
My project is to create an infrared remote to change the speed and switch on/off of a cap start/run type single phase induction motor operating at AC mains (230V, 50Hz).
I have worked out the controlling the speed of the motor part (using a solid state relay to control phase angle of...
I have been tasked with designing and building a device that will use a .4V Peak to Peak amplitude voltage source to power 5 IR LED's in parallel. I have attached my design schematic, which includes a low pass filter amplifier with a cutoff frequency of 120Hz and a gain of 101 (though the opamp...
Question for you sensor experts...
I'm looking to do a project that would involve detecting when an item passes through a doorway near ground level (~6 inches above ground level). Doing a bit of research it looks like a reflective infrared sensor would do the trick ... only issue I have come...
