Turn ON or OFF electrical devices using remote control is not a new idea and you can find so many different devices doing that very well. For realization of this type of device, you must make a receiver, a transmitter and understand their way of communication.[more]
This is a device for adjusting lights in your home with any type of remote controller (tv, dvd, video,โฆ). Today we are using many devices in our homes to improve quality of our life and this is another example on how you can enhance a simple procedure like switching the lights ON/OFF. It may be difficult to many of us to stand up from our chair only to switch lights, so try imagining yourself doing this with your remote controller. [more]
The first prototype UAV is built on a Lite Machines 110 remote control helicopter. The choice of the LM-110 is an ideal platform for debugging both the autopilot and the command and control software. It has nearly indestructable, full flapping plastic rotor blades and can take nearly any abuse from “software bugs” or Pilot Error. [more]
Sivan Toledo writes:In this project I created an infrared (IR) link that provides bi-directional communication between the NXT and the new Power-Functions system, which consists of a battery box, motors, a remote control (an IR transmitter) and an IR receiver that controls the motors.I previously built an IR transmitter for the NXT which used an MSP430 microcontroller and which was able to send Sony IR commands (the specifications of this protocol are widely available).

This is a simple circuit to experiment with sending and receiving IR remote control signals with a PC. The intent of this circuit is to allow experimenting with a Linux PC running LIRC to send and receive remote control codes. The circuit attaches to serial port. LIRC reads the DCD line to receive the pulses of received IR, while DTR is pulsed by LIRC to transmit. The circuit also provides a 1Vp-p output to feed to a sound card. [more]
