Wireless IR Headphone Receiver

Image
A photodiode Dl feeds high gain IR remote control preamp 1C, a CA3237E. U2 is a PLL FM detector tuned to around 100 kHz. The detector output is amplified by U3 and it can drive a speaker or a set of headphones. Wireless IR Headphone Receiver Circuit Schematic

Toggle Switch with IR

Image
Toggle switch in this article is a series of toggle switches that are controlled by infrared light. The series toggle switch is made from a combination of data flip-flop CD4013 2 units. Receiver circuit of the infrared light signals arranged with infrared receiver as found on television remote receiver. Infrared signal from remote is used as clock signals and data to the data flip-flop first. then the second flip-flop data set as a toggle flip-flop toggle the output signal is used to drive the relay. for more details can be seen in thethe following image . Series Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) that is required to supply voltage range of 12VDC and the output of Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) is dapt used to turn on the lights or other electronic devices with DC or AC voltage source. Series Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) was isolated from the load that is placed for use as the final relay. source [link] 

Creating my own TV Tuner IR remote with a PIC16F684

Image
While I was home this winter, I saw that the remote for our TV tuner was damaged physically, causing the buttons to not function responsively. Some of them just didn't work. I saw this as an opportunity for a fun couple days' project to build a new remote controller for the tuner. The TV tuner was manufactured by a brand name RealView and, as expected, I couldn't find much detail about it. Thus, I had to reverse engineer the remote. From my previous experience in working with IR remotes, I had a hunch that the IR was most likely modulated at ~38kHz or ~56kHz. For those of you who don't know how this works, I highly recommend going through this website: http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/ Thus, I connected a 38kHz IR receiver I had at home (TSOP1738) to an oscilloscope in order to figure out what IR protocol is used by the remote. Upon pressing the 4 key on the remote, I saw the following waveform: Fig. 1: Oscilloscope waveform capture of the received IR signal Note...
