Imported devices of a similar purpose have already appeared on sale, but at a rather high price. Such a device, if desired, is easy to do on your own, and without large material costs.

A familiar part of a modern TV or music center is an IR remote control (RC). With this remote control, you can also control lighting using a small console. In this case, one of the buttons (rarely used) is pressed. The proposed device allows you to turn on and off the load, such as lighting, from any remote control at a distance of up to 5 m.

Usually, to control the operation of the TV, you have to hold down the remote control button for no more than 1 s. The proposed device performs load switching if the button on the remote control is pressed for more than 2 s. This command selection algorithm for switching control can significantly simplify the electrical circuit.

The device consists of an IR pulse receiver, fig. 4.14, and the control unit, fig. 4.15. As a receiver, you can take any of the typical circuits used in TVs for remote control. The control unit is assembled on three CMOS chips and consists of a wide pulse shaper (D1.1), a two-second time interval selector (D1.2) and binary counters on trigger elements D2...D3. Buttons SB1 and SB2 allow you to turn on and off the load without a remote control.

The indicator of the last trigger (D3.2) is the glow of the HL1 LED. The VS1 optocoupler provides electrical isolation of the control unit from the 220 V network, which makes it possible to obtain a good resistance of the circuit to interference.

Instead of an optocoupler, the final lamp control stage can be performed on a conventional triac according to the circuit shown in Fig. 4.16.

Figure 4.17 shows voltage diagrams at control points, explaining the operation of the control unit. At the initial moment of power supply to the circuit, a circuit of elements C4-R5 ensures that the trigger in D3.2 is set to its initial state (log. "0" at output 1).

When the button on the remote control is pressed, from the incoming bursts of pulses to the inputs of the elements D1.1 and D1.2, wider ones are formed. Trigger D1.2 after 2 s ensures the installation of counters D2, D3, T in the initial state (generates a reset pulse at the output D1/12).

The scheme of the device is not critical to the choice of parts and their ratings may differ from those indicated by 30%. All fixed resistors are of the MLT type, trimmer R1 is of the SP4-1 type. Non-polar capacitors of the K10-17 type, electrolytic C3 and C5 (for the receiver C1, C2 and C5, C6) of the K53-16 type. Diodes KD522 can be replaced by any pulse. The voltage regulator D4 (import analogue 78L12) is being replaced by a more common one from the KR142EN8B series.

Transformer T1 type TP112-8-1, but any of those used in domestic TVs for power in standby mode or in DANDY-type game consoles will also work; The required voltage of the secondary winding is 15 ... 20 V, and the current is at least 10 mA.

When a triac is connected instead of an optocoupler switch, the T2 pulse transformer is made on a ferrite ring of size K16x10x4 mm, brand M4000NM1 or M2000NM, with a PELSHO wire with a diameter of 0,18 mm and contains 1 - 80 turns in the winding, 2 - 60 turns. Before winding, the sharp edges of the core must be rounded off with a needle file, otherwise they will cut through the wire and there will be a short circuit between the windings.

Structurally, the entire device is assembled in a case with dimensions of 110x88x44 mm. IR pulse receiver circuit board, fig. 4.18 is placed in a copper foil screen, which is necessary to eliminate the influence of interference. A universal prototyping board was used to mount the control unit circuit, and the connections were made by wires.

The prefix has been tested in operation with remote controls from imported TVs from different companies - AKAI, SAMSUNG, PANASONIC. But since each remote control has its own relationship between the duration of the code message and the interval, for a clear switching operation, it may be necessary to adjust the circuit with resistor R1 (or select the value of capacitor C1).

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Random news from the Archive Cage on a needle 09.06.2015 Yogi cell technology continues to evolve. Its essence is to place a living cell on a nanoneedle mattress and introduce the necessary substances into it. Created by researchers from King's College London and the Houston Methodist Research Institute, nanoneedle mattresses can easily pierce the membrane of both the cell itself and its nucleus, but do no harm to it. And in this mattress, like in a sponge, the nucleic acids required for reprogramming the cell are located. For example, to transform a muscle cell into a blood vessel cell. The use of such nanomattresses on a mouse muscle showed that the transformation is going well: seven days after the operation, seven times more vessels were formed in it than normal, and the effect remained noticeable for another week. Growing blood vessels inside the body from its own cells is an important task; in this way, it is possible to facilitate the growth of transplanted tissue, whether donor or tissue-engineered. The needles themselves are made of safe siloxane, which disintegrates in the body almost without a trace in a few days, leaving only a little orthosilicic acid. “We have made a leap forward: by penetrating the inside of the cell with needles, we can now carry out their transformation with efficiency unattainable before,” says Ennio Tashiotti, a participant in the work.
