Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • SINGLE IC FORMS SENSITIVE MODULATED LIGHT RECEIVER
    The circuit uses a very inexpensive C-MOS IC that is connected to a small photodiode. Using a unique inductive feedback network, the circuit provides high sensitivity under high ambient light conditions. It is a great circuit when you want to extend the range of an optical remote control transmitter.

Sensitive Remote Control Tester -  ....
Serial Infrared Remote Controller -  a simple, cheap device that can be connected to any serial port to control most components that have infrared remote controls, includes schematics for receiver and transmitter (added 4/02)
Serial-driven IR remote Controller -  This paper describes a serial infrared transmitter (SIT)  capable of  generating  the infrared codes used by most current equipment that incorporates an infrared remote control.  It is operated by a computer    through  an  asynchronous  communications port.  Driver software....(electronic design added 6/07) [Author is John H. DuBois III]
Short DC power-line pulses afford remote control -  25-Oct-01 Issue of EDN  If you face the challenge of adding a second, independently controlled light source to an existing ceiling lamp controlled by a wall switch, you may find that stringing a second power line is impossible. First, you can replace the wall switch by the circuit in Figure 1. Pushing the on switch S1 or S2 for approximately 1 sec inserts the 12V zener diodes D1 or D2 in series with the.... [Design Idea by Tom Hornak, Portola Valley, CA]
Simple 4-CH Remote Control -  You can construct your own long range infrared (IR) wireless remote using Motorola's MC145026 emitter and MC145027 detector chips. With your remote you can control devices up to 20 feet (7 meters) away. It operates similiarly to a TV remote. You just point the emitter at the detector, push a transmit button. The detector then interprets your data signal. You can use this circuit to remotely turn on/off devices (like a motors, relays, home appliances). ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
Simple Infrared Remote Control -  (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
Simple Remote Control Tester -  Here is a handy gadget for test- ing of infrared (IR) based re- mote control transmitters used for TVs and VCRs etc. The IR signals from a remote control transmitter are sensed by the IR sensor module in the tester and its output at pin 2 goes low. This in turn switches on transistor T1 and causes LED1 to blink. At the same time, the buzzer beeps at the same rate as the incoming signals from the remote control transmitter....
Simple Sensitive Remote Control Tester -  ....
Single IC Forms Sensitive Modulated Light Receiver -  The circuit uses a very inexpensive C-MOS IC that is connected to a small photodiode. Using a unique inductive feedback network, the circuit provides high sensitivity under high ambient light conditions. It is a great circuit when you want to extend the range of an optical remote control transmitter.... [Designed by David A. Johnson]
SMS remote control v2.2 -  Control up to 8 devices ( On-Off  or Reset) by sending a SMS message from  any mobile phone, to  ericsson  T10s, of our circuit.….(design added 03/09)
Solar Charged LED Utility Light -  Tired of always spending money on flashlight batteries only to have them fail just when you need them? Try this simple circuit out. It would make an excellent science fair project. The white LEDs are quite bright, they provide enough light to illuminate a small room at night. The LEDs produce a nicely focused beam. You can read by the light of this device. [G. Forrest Cook]
Super Remote -  Using a PIC12F683 and a few transistors, it is theoretically possible to boost the power to a standard 433 MHz remote transmitter module. (Note hypothetical image at right).….(electronic schematic added 08/08) [Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona]
