know I understand that the IR reciver has to be more than simple IR transistor. It has to be an IC to combine all the required function including the IR transistor, comparator, filter and modulator.
On the other hand, is the IR sender also more than just the IR LED, because I reduced the series resistor connected eith my IR LED until got 35mA of current flow, but the response from the reciver is exactly the same and it detect it only when it is about 3 mm away.
Is that because of my LED quality as AG indicated? or anything else.
Thanks.
