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.

T V Remote Control Blocker -  Don't like your little brother's TV channel selection? Hate the volume your wife sets the stereo at? Want to just annoy someone? This circuit does all that and more by jamming most IR remote signals. The circuit releases a flood of pulsing IR light that confuses the reciever by corrupting the data stream....(added 4/02)
Telephone Operated Remote Control using PIC16F84a MicroController -  This design controls up to 8 devices using a PIC microcontroller (PIC16F84A) connected to the phone line. The unique feature here is that unlike other telephone line based remote control, this device does not need the call to be answered at the remote end so the call will not...
TeleRemote Control -  ....
The Ultimate Universal Remote Control -  Gadget Freak Case 147:  Couch potatoes should be particularly interested in Bill Bowden's remote control IR receiver, which allows users to control the power of virtually any electrical appliance (including those not equipped for remote) using their standard remote control. It's based on an IR receiver circuit,
TinyIR Learning IR Remote Control Receiver -  Adding IR remote control to your next project, or to an existing one just got a whole lot easier. With TinyIR, just apply power, train the chip to recognize the key codes you want to use, and you're ready to go. Code patterns are safely stored in internal non-volatile EEPROM. The chip can be re-trained many times if needed....
TV/VCR Infrared Remote Booster -  This circuit will boost the signal from any infrared TV or VCR remote, extending the range by a factor of 3X. …. [Designed by David A. Johnson]
Two Wire Remote Microphone Amplifie -  uses special amplifier module from Op-Amp Labs (added 4/02)
Two Wire Stepper Motor Positioner -  A simple and inexpensive way to remotely rotate a display or object is with a positioner that uses a stepper motor to rotate it. The motor is driven by a circuit mounted near the motor and by a control circuit at a remote location….. [free schematic from Golab.com]
Ultrasonic Remote Control & Alarm -  (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
Universal Infrared Controller for a PC -  This simple circuit allows you to record any Infrared remote control signal on your PC, and then play it back.  This is particularly useful if you want to control appliances such as TVs, VCRs, CDs etc. from your computer. The device simply connects to the parallel port of your PCThis circuit was originally published in Electronics Australia, September1998  (added 4/02)
Universal IR Remote Control Tester -  This tester consists of two integrated remote control receivers whose outputs drive an LED to indicate when a suitable infrared signal is received. To cover all current infrared remote controls, one receiver (the TSOP1736) has maximum sensitivity to carriers at 36 kHz, the other (the TSOP1738) to carriers at 38 kHz.….must register on this site.... [Published in Elecktor July/August 2010]
Universal RC5/RC6 Transceiver with PIC16F628 -  This project is an expansion from another project from this website. On the one side you can read the RC5, RC5X and RC6 codes from remote controls on a LCD and on the other hand you can send all thinkable RC5, RC5X and RC6 codes to a device. Besides is for this project a PCB layout drew to make it still more easier for you. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
VCR TV Remote Range Extender Circuit -  I often get frustrated by how poor some infrared remotes in many new electronic devices operate.  I used to be able to turn on the TV from 30 feet away.  Now, it seems that I have to get within 15 feet.  To address this issue, I designed the circuit shown below.  The circuit taps into the TV remote’s existing infrared LED and drives 8 more efficient devices.  The result is a communications range some 4 to 5 times longer.... [Designed by David A. Johnson]
Video/Audio Wireless Transmitter -  To design and build a wireless transmitter that works over the FM frequency and allows the transfer of a video/audio signal over a certain distance to a FM tuner.circuit diagram and project description (added 5/02)
