Explanation of how the circuit works.
When the infrared detector is powered, ideally we will have a voltage of 5V at its output.
this is the working principle of the circuit since when pressing the button of any remote control
remotely the output voltage of the infrared detector will decrease significantly and this will achieve that
the BC548 transistor operates in cutoff or saturation; at first, the transistor will be in saturation,
when any button of the control to be tested is pressed, the transistor will enter the cutoff state which
It will turn on the LED, which will show us that the control is in good condition. We add to the circuit
a diode that will prevent incorrect polarizations, also a capacitor to eliminate voltages from
curly or noise.
Respuestas al siguiente cuestionario:
a) What type of signals are used in remote controls
Most of these remote controls communicate with their respective devices.
via infrared (IR) signals and only a few use radio signals. The signal
infrared transmits the corresponding code for the remote control button
pressed and transmits it to the device in the form of a series of light pulses
infrared. Similarly, the transmitted infrared light pulses are of two
types, the so-called 0s and 1s. The 0s could be seen as the short tones and the 1s as the
long tones.
Inside the device, a receiver receives the series of infrared pulses and the
it goes to a processor that decodes the series of 0s and 1s into digital bits that
they will activate a certain function of the device.
The following image perfectly illustrates the message conveyed in the
key press of a remote control for an address 00000000b
and a command 10110101b.
b) What electronic components can be used to emit infrared signals
Infrared Emitters
c) What electronic components can be used to detect or receive infrared signals
d) What does the RC5 protocol for remote controls consist of?
The RC5 transmission protocol consists of a train of square pulses at 36kHz.
(the so-called "carrier"). Each "1" is encoded as 889 microseconds.
of pulses, and 889 microseconds of 'silence'. The total length of '0' and '1' is
identical, and it is 1778 microseconds (or 1.778 milliseconds).
There is a variation of the RC5 code called RC5X that has 7 bits to determine the
command (which allows for 128 different commands vs. the 64 commands of RC5)
traditional)
The duty cycle of the 36 kHz carrier frequency is 1/3 or 1/4, which
reduce energy consumption.
When a button on the remote control is pressed, the transmitted message box is
composed of the following 14 bits, in order to:
- Two bits Start (S1 and S2), both logically '1'.
A little lever (T). This bit is inverted every time a key is released and returns.
a pulsar.
The 5-bit address for the receiving device
The 6-bit command.
The address and control bits are sent most significant bit first. Figure
illustrate the format of an RC5 transmission frame to obtain an address
of 05h (00101b) and a command of 35h (110101b).
It can be observed that it is needed:
- 5.334ms to transmit the start bits and Toggle (S1, S2, and T). Please note that,
As the first half bits of S1 is a space, the receiver will only realize
the true start of the telegram after 889us.
8.89ms to transmit the 5 bits for the address
10.668ms to transmit the 6 bits for the command
24.892ms fully transmit the actual telegram.
The Toggle bit (T) is used by the receiver to distinguish the time the key has been pressed.
when pressed repeatedly, the Toggle bit will maintain the same logical level during
All these repeated telegrams. It is even the receiver's software to interpret this.

e) Are there other applications that use infrared signals? Describe which ones.
Industry: The remote control is used to operate substations,hydroelectric power stations
reversiblesand plantsHVDC. Pthese systems are usually usedPLCslow frequency.
Military: for the control of military vehicles such as remotely controlled aircraft.
Astronautics: Remote control technology is also used in space travel.
such as; direct control of ships, cars, and spacecraft.
Video games: wireless controls for a better experience in video games,
starting with the successful video game console Wii.
Electronic Devices: It is used to turn some electronic devices on or off.
such as air conditioning or some modern lights or fans. Another application
it can be for the car.
Conclusions, suggestions.
The circuit was successfully implemented with some modifications, and it was also verified.
