Hey there folks, i'm very new to this forum and have only recently been getting into using IR technology, which i'm hoping to use for this project. Basically what I would like to accomplish:
- i'd like to have 8 to 10 separate circuit board receivers, each equipped with a bright led or lightbulb.
- i'd like to have a single IR remote transmitter that controls each receiver individually (pressing 1 on the remote will ignite bulb on circuit 1, pressing 1 again will turn bulb off, pressing 2 will ignite bulb on circuit 2, etc...)
This schematic seems like a good enough start as far as building receiver modules, what i'm not sure of is how to program each channel to a separate frequency that will accurately correlate with each module. Are there specific remotes I should be looking for? If purchasing an outside remote is out of the picture, i would definitely consider building separate transmitter circuits and housing them in some sort of case, as I'd like it to look neat and be as user friendly as possible.
If anyone needs more info from me in order to better understand what I'm trying to get across, please feel free to let me know and i'll supply with whatever I can. Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you all soon!
