There are plenty of methods to allow your gadgets to communicate wirelessly: Bluetooth, radio frequencies, and of course, IR LEDs just to name a few. Today we’ll teach you how to use IR LEDs as communication devices for your projects. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but can be picked up by cameras. This tutorial has some simple circuits and explanations.Johnny Lee has plenty of fantastic videos using IR LEDs for communication using the WiiMote.Each button on a universal remote emits a unique, rapid pulsation of IR light.

You can capture these codes and use them to control an Arduino. “If code 100111001 then blink pin 12.”Further info can also be found here and here too. The HacknMod Store sells IR LEDs!

Crossed IR Beam Camera/Flash Trigger - Instructables - DIY, How. This device will trigger a camera or flash unit to automatically take a picture when an object (target) enters a specific location. It uses two, crossed infrared light beams to detect the presence of the target and close a relay that trips the camera or flash unit. Response time is about 2 ms from detection to relay closure, so if your camera doesn't have long shutter-lag, it will capture even fast moving targets. The optical part of the device consists of two IR LEDs and two Sharp IS471FE optical ICs (OPICs).

The optical ICs have built in LED modulators and synchronous detectors, so they won't see light from each other's LEDs. The outputs from the OPICs are connected to an 8 pin PIC microcontroller that handles interpreting input signals and driving the relay and a visible LED that indicates the operating mode. Though there are 11 operating modes, the controller has a very simple user-interface consisting of a pushbutton switch and an LED. Super Nightvision Headset Hack! - Instructables - DIY, How To, t. RS-232 Infrared Receiver in a Serial Connector (LIRC) Computer R. Here are the parts I used, all of them were cannibalized from old projects or scavenged from the engineering lab except the IR receiver that I ordered from Mouser. Parts List: Vishay TSOP1138 IR Receiver 50v 4.7uF capacitor 4001 Diode 4.7K resistor 7805 voltage regulator (5 volts) Parts Discussion TSOP1138 IR Receiver: Most people use the Vishay TSOP 1738, but Mouser was out of those when I ordered and the 1138 is comparable... and it worked, so who cares : ) 4.7uF capacitor: I used an axial 50v barrel (electrolytic) capacitor because I had one available and didn't want to spend 75 cents at Radio Shack.

But, if you've got a 4.7uF ceramic disc capacitor, it would be a lot easier to fit inside the D-sub housing we're going to use. Also, since I used a 50v capacitor and we're only pushing 5v, it's going to have a pretty long rise time but it shouldn't affect the performance of our device too much.
