Infa-Red Remote Control

I have received a number of emails requesting schematics for infa-red remotes. So here is one. This remote transmits a tone using an infa-red LED. This tone is decoded by the receiver. Since the receiver only switches when it "hears" the tone, there are no accidental activations.

Schematic For Transmitter

This is the schematic of the IR Transmitter

Schematic For Receiver

This is the schematic for the IR Receiver

Notes

  1. To adjust the circuit, hold down S1 while pointing LED1 at the receiver. Adjust R6 until you hear the relay click.
  2. You can increase range by using a high output LED for LED1.
  3. Bright light will stop the receiver from responding to the transmitter.
  4. There is an error in the schematic. There shuold be a 1 megaohm resistor between pin 3 of IC1 and ground. This provides a 0 volt reference to bias the IC.

the 1M resitance between IC1 and ground replace the capacitor?? or I just have to add it'?? I can't make it works.

Hello - does anyone have a circuit board layout for these two schematics?

Hey I have been searching all over the web for lists of simple schematics, and I stumbled upon your website. I am trying to automate my room, and I need to be able to control many (something like 5-10?) things from one remote. Is there any way to adapt this model so that I dont have to build 10 of each the transmitter and the receiver? Please email me if you have any suggestions or if you already have the schematics. Thanks in advance.

Question: Will an IR Receiver detect a deflection of an object passing through the transmitter and if so, what is the maximinum/minimum distance required between transmitter and receiver? Thank you, Joe Quarando

I tried this circuit 4 times but it isn't working
