Electronics >> Schematics Depot >> IR/Ultrasonic >> 555 Timer 40khz Oscillator
555 timer 40khz IR:
parts:
U1 | 555 Timer IC |
R1 | 47 ohm resistor |
R2 | 470 ohm resistor |
R3 | 5k variable resistor |
C1 | 0.0047uf ceramic capacitor |
LED1,LED2 | Infrared LED's |
This circuit oscillates two infrared LED's at 40 khz. To make sure it is transmitting IR light, you can get a little tool from radio shack for about $5. It is a small sheet of plastic about 1" by 3" with a special
strip of material, that when exposed to IR light glows (it's actually kinda cool..) A way to check for 40khz IR light is to build a circuit that lights an led when 40khz light is detected.
You can get the schematic by clicking here.
