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 […]

2 Simple Infrared (IR) Remote Control Circuits
The proposed infrared or IR remote control circuit can be used to operate an appliance ON/OFF through any standard TV remote control handset. In this write up I have explained a couple of these simple infrared remote control circuits designed for controlling any given electrical appliance through an ordinary or TV remote control unit. Introduction […]
Infrared (IR) LED Flood Light Circuit
An infrared flood light is a circuit that creates an illumination over a wide range of area using infrared frequency. This infrared illuminated area can be perfectly visualized through specialized infrared gasses and IR cameras, but can be totally invisible to naked eye. In this post we study a simple infra red based flood light […]
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 […]
TSOP1738 Infrared Sensor IC Datasheet, Pinout, Working
Video showing the Testing of TSOP1738 with 38 kHz Frequency The TSOP17XX series of ICs are infrared sensor devices designed for sensing infrared frequencies only with a specific range of modulated frequency, and interpreting them into a proportionate magnitude of electrical pulses at the output. This is specifically done to make the sensor immune to […]
Infrared Remote Control Safe Lock Circuit
A simple, cheap yet highly effective infrared remote control safe lock circuit can be studied in the following post. Using IC LM567 The LM567 IC is one of my favorites simply because it’s too versatile, and becomes applicable in most of the crucial circuit concepts through hassle free configurations. One such crucial yet simple IR […]
