hello to all..i am a newbie here but in the following line i will explain my project idea any help about it will be greatly appreciated..ok i want build a r/c car control by optical control ..i want a very simple control for my first project ..i want be able to control just the forward and reverse only at this time..is there any idea about shematics with parts i should use ..also i specify i want to do it with low cost parts.. i forgot to mention i want build both transmiter and receiver for the car.
Sounds like a fun project. Radio control can be expensive ($30US) for a novice.
I suggest starting with a standard IR remote transmitter and learning about the signals that it sends. Plenty of articles here that describe how to learn this.
thanks for your reply ..ok since i am new here i like if someone can point me to the right place on the board to find how to build a simple ir transmitter and also receiver for my r/c car ...the car will itself will have low power (3v motor)
thanks Nigel ..i checked this on your website but seem very complicated to me i am just a newbie..i was looking for somethings like shematics with parts description (just a simple things to build) because i just started..thanks for your help

When using say Infra Red, think of using a lense to amplify your signal.
A PIC could make life easier, but for your project I think it would be more fun to go without.
Take a look at the HS0038B, it's a IR receiver that may help alot.
