Even though some devices now use WiFi and Bluetooth, so much of our home entertainment equipment still relies on its own proprietary infrared remote control. By and large (when you can find them) they ...

This small circuit is ideal for checking the basic operation of an infrared remote control unit. The circuit is based on the brilliantly simple idea of connecting a piezo buzzer directly to an IR ...

The goal of the project is to show how an IR remote control extender/repeater was built in order for electronic appliances from a remote location to be controlled. The three main parts that comprise ...

We've grown a little spoiled. At some point during the progression of televisions and media devices, remote controls went from infrared sensors that required a direct line-of-sight between the remote ...

The non-obvious optical and RF challenges faced by IR-based remote-control links. How a new, tailored preamplifier addresses and minimizes these potential problems. The low-cost, infrared-based remote ...
