In this post I have explained 3 simple yet accurate infrared intruder alarm circuits using an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver module. The transmitter and the receiver photo diodes used in the two modules are aligned in line at a distance of around 2 meters within the restricted area. When a burglar tries to […]

Infrared Car Door Lock Security Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet foolproof infrared based remote control, which can be used for locking and unlocking any vehicle door through a personal remote handset. The remote controlled vehicle door lock is foolproof since it works only with a specific IR frequency range, and will not respond […]
Visible Light Communication Circuit [using InfraRed]
You can use this simple visible light communication circuit to send audio and digital information through infrared light, beyond a mile away, with extreme precision. By Sunil Rao The main features of the light communicator circuit can be understood with the following points: Output power = 5 millwatts Frequency Modulation Operation with 50 kHz carrier […]
How Contactless Infrared Thermometers Work – How to Make One
In this post I have explained the basic working concept of thermal scanners or contactless IR thermometers, and also learn how to make a practical DIY prototype of the unit without Arduino. In the post COVID-19 era, witnessing doctors holding a contactless temperature gun and pointing toward the forehead of a COVID-19 suspect is a […]
Remote Control Infrared Tester Circuit
We all use remote control handsets for controlling various household devices such as TV, AC, Music systems, curtains etc, and sometimes we seem to have problems with these devices, or even a newly purchased remote controller unit occasionally seem to malfunction, and identifying the issue becomes quite difficult for us. This simple 2 transistor infrared […]
Contactless Sensors – Infrared, Temperature/Humidity, Capacitive, Light
In this article I have explained a few highly advanced contactles sensors such as infrared sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor which can be used for crucial and sensitive industrial applications, and manufacturing plants. Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the growth of its industry-leading sensing integrated circuits with the inclusion of 4 innovative products that […]
