A simple circuit containing nothing more than a LED, resistor, and a IR photo-transistor was assembled on some perforated circuit board, then mounted on top of a battery clip with some epoxy.

as well as using an IR photo transistor (blue trace) which showed the code inclusive of 38 KHz carrier frequency. Either capture method could easily be used to examine the transmitted code.

In our pages, you'll find in-depth reviews backed by exhaustive lab tests, as well as extensive coverage of photo news. You can take a look at all the individuals who make IR what it is on our ...
