A Serial Infrared Remote Controller -  This is a simple, cheap device that can be connected to any serial port to control most components that have infrared remote controls.  I designed and built it    (on a solderless breadboard) in 1991.  In 1992 I wrote a lengthy description of it for an electronics class.  In 1994 I finally designed a PC board for it, using a free, X-based PC board design program called pcb, and in 1995 I etched several of the boards and made the final product __ Designed by John DuBois

A/V Sender -  This small circuit transmitter processes the signs of audio of a sound table or microphone, and the signs of video of a camera, or still the audio signs and video of a DVD, Video-cassette or even it sweats her video plate has an exit of composed video, you can transmit direct of your computer.  Playing them in a channel free from the strip of VHF __ Designed by Toni on Aug 19, 2009

Accomodating Offset IF Filters -  Digitally synthesized FM tuners normally use ceramic IF filters centered at 10.7 MHz. But the characteristics of individual filters vary. Murata specifies filter center frequency as 10.67 to 10.73 MHz. Outlier filters may make a tuner more susceptible to interference on one side of channel center than the other.  __ Designed by Brian Beezley K6STI

An Infra-Red Remote Control Extender -  Miscellaneous:  This is a battery powered Infra-Red Link that will allow you to change channels on your Satellite Receiver and operate the controls on your VCR & DVD from anywhere in the house.  __ Designed by Ron J.

Audio/Video Sender -  This circuit provides you with wireless audio and visual transmission to a TV.  The TV acts as a receiver, eliminating the need to buy a separate monitor.  You can also hook it up to a VCR or CCD Camera, and even set up a remote CCTV security system!Circuit design __ Contact: info @ wzmicro.com

AVR Based Serial Port IR Receiver -  This is a simple IR receiver circuit which plugs into a serial port of a computer.  Okay, there are many other circuits of this kind, and most of them are even simpler, but this circuit has two major advantages:    (1) it uses an Atmel AVR RISC microcontroller    (an AT90S2313) instead of the usual PIC microcontroller and    (2) it uses a MAX232 for the generation of valid RS232 levels.   __ Designed by Klaus Stock
