Its like finding a crucial piece of the bigger picture jigsaw

Why is this channel not getting 100 millions subscribers? This is good video, this is good information. It's lame how crappy videos get thousands of views in one day and million of subscribers, but the good ones are doomed in obscurity.

Incredibly much of crucial info on onfrared control in such a short move. Excellent!

This video is awesome! I love it! You explained everything very clearly

Nice explanation. Reminds me of morse code in parts.

I was looking for 10 mins for a video, this explained it perfectly (Thanks !)

that was freaking awesome the code part was like DNA sequences we had in school and college keep going man

helps me a lot even in short presentation !! thanks !!

very neatly explained thanks man

Thanks!! You saved my life. I have a Science Project next week.. Thanks a lot :)

this blew my mind. thanks!

It's very helpful, thank you!

that was really helpful... Thanks, man

Best explanation

hey Rick can you tell me if we put more ir bulbs to a remote control will it increase the range please reply....

Great video, question? I have several small 3.7 volt helicopters like the ones in this video, at the end, with no remotes that match them so that they work. Is it possible to alter the frequencs of the ones I have, to math the helicopters, so that they will work? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Great tutorial thank you... John :)

Nicely explained

So can I use a fiber optic wire to curve the ir and deliver the ir through a brick wall?

this is very helpful :)

superb but were did purchase and it is used to high power current also

Sweet video

Thank you!

Wow thx I can now do a simple demo tomorrow at class

Very helpful :D

If I would remove the ir transmitter and ran a wire from those 2 pads and hooked the other end of the wire to the ir receiver would that work. Basically hard wiring it?

very usefull information

Great video. What would happen if you added a few IR bulbs to a RC helicopter control? Would it gain range? Would it gain directional signal?

Thank you

Thank u very much..................

but how the television is made to pick up only 38khz infrared? and how can it interpret those signals to do something specific?

can u show how u make the remote controll of helicopter using ir sensor

thank you

Hi, may I ask, how are IR remotes able to reach long distances? For example, my TSOP IR receiver receives my TV remote's signals from far away, even if I am pointing away from the signal. May I ask how is this possible? I am intending to create a button that sends out a signal like my TV remote's signal, but I don't know how to make my IR signal stronger..

Question: from what you presented, is it possible to design an infared remote to change the channel, song, volume etc. that is playing ON your phone/tablet instead of using a Bluetooth remote/keyboard?

This video is easy to understand Thx 🙏 I feel like my science project got way easier Also whoever disliked the video is a wuss

very nice video! I have a couple questions, I hope someone will answer. 1- you said tipycally the IR freq of a tv is 38 khz. But since a sony remote control will not work with a toshiba tv, this means that some one uses 38, some 37, others 39 right? A universal remote control will work with each tv because is able to transmit in a wider IR frequency range?

@RickOsgood

10 жыл бұрын

The reason the Sony remote does not work on a Toshiba TV has nothing to do with the frequency, actually. It has to do with the way the binary code that's transmitted. Different manufacturers use different protocols or codes. Your Sony remote flashes at 38KHz a code that the Toshiba TV doesn't understand, so the TV just doesn't respond. The universal remote knows the right codes for many different TV's. But it's most likely always going to modulate at 38khz. Does that make sense?

this is very helpful, thanks a lot. But I still have a question that if I have a general IR remote control that flashes an IR signal with 38khz, and had two devices that are designed to respond to 38khz, will they both work if I pushed a certain button ? and let's say that I didn't know that information, how will I know which one of the two devices is going to work ?

@RickOsgood

8 жыл бұрын

If you have two devices that are the same make and model, then they most likely will both respond to a single button press. The 38khz pulse is a just a carrier signal. On top of that, the remote transmits an address code and a command code. Let's say you have a Sony TV and a Sony sound system. They would both likely use the same command for "power on/off" because they are both Sony. However, your remote will first transmit the address of the device. If the address is for the TV, then the TV knows it needs to respond to the command. The sound system will ignore the command because the address doesn't match.

IoT tech?

And how does the sensor work? In programming a query is only in one moment in time (extremely short). How can it scan at any moment in time for any duration? I'm a beginner engineer and I had that problem recently

Thank you for this video. I have a question though. For a school project I am trying to built a device which is located on the ceiling and could alert on whether an object (non moving) is within the radius of 1 meter in all directions. It should be very small and cheap (less than 5$) so any solutions like radar or laser scanning is out of the question, so I left with the ultrasonic and infrared possibilities, but due to budget and size limitations i need to use as few sensors as possible. I have tried to make some measurements with infrared transmitter and receiver in the same housing but so far Ive been able to detect only objects in the range of about 15 cm, and pretty much only if it is perpendicular to the sensor. I have used all kinds of IR emitters with different radiant intensity and with different current values but I could not significantly increase the range and the beam detection angle my question is how could I increase the range and angle? I check the IR detector with a normal TV remote control and i see that the range could reach up to 5 meters and the detection angle is very large. is the IR transmitter in the remote control is amplified? and if so, how? with optical lenses or with electronic components? sorry, it got a bit long Thank you :)

Your project is a bit over my head. I don't believe the IR LEDs inside of TV remote controls are amplified. It's just an LED in the end of the remote. I'm not sure what IR transmitter and receiver you were using for your sensor, but maybe it works off a different principal than the TV remotes?

U blew my mind

please give me the solution to control AC using raspberry pi and lircd lib, please give me any link or code to control my onida AC in detail

Very interesting, I knew it used infrared light but wasn't sure how data was transmitted.. I suspected it would be like this, because it sounds just like "Li-fi" what some people predict will be the future of Wi-fi. What was really shocking is that the RC helicopter uses infrared, I thought it was some really low-power radio waves. Are all RC toys using infrared? How can the helicopter catch the light from a far??

Fantastic explanation, have you considered teaching or lecturing?!

this is a good video, but I have a question. is there a database or repository of codes used, or remotes matched with codes? I am interested in this project because I lack a remote for a piece of equipment, and obtaining a rare one will cost a stupid amount of money right now. I'd like to see if its codes are already known such that I could simply use them with this project without the learning decoding step.

I would start by looking for manuals, tech specs, or datasheets from the manufacturer of the specific device. I'm not sure if there is some large database of known codes.

Hi Rick hope you are well, I have just purchased a " Bigfoot toy " The remote control is missing! could I some how get another type of remote to work?... Many thanks... John :)

I have a question. What if the LED works but when you press it, it won't change the channel? (sorry for my bad english)

maybe you're too far from the receiver or it's probably being blocked by another object.

Hi, great video I am trying to reverse engineer a remote control for a helicopter toy like yours Can you give some information about how does it work or some sources ? Thanks

I KNEW IT. I EVEN FIGURE THIS OUT MYSELF. So some IR blasters have two IR lights. What the meaning of that?

inverter?

Rick, just subscribed. Great work. You said, 38khz means it flashes 38,000 times per second. How is that possible? Have you seen a video that explains how a remote or circuit creates that specific energy? If so can you send me the link?

Rajeshwar Rudra the "channels" probably just change which IR codes the helicopter listens for. This means tha it doesn't matter how many LED's there are. The more LEDs, the brighter the light will be and you can probably increase your distance this way. If you want to control the helicopter you would need to figure out what the IR codes look like coming from the remote control. You might be able to find this information online for your specific helicopter, or you can try to "record" them with an IR receiver and then reverse engineer it yourself.

@mikegLXIVMM

The device, such a TV, has a small module in it that does the job of processing the infrared signal from the remote. The output of this module is the data that the remote transmitted, but without the 38KHZ carrier, just binary code 0-5 Volts. Your application, say..Arduino, would just have to process the data. The pinout for the module is simple: +5 Volts, Ground, Signal out.

I've a remote control which IR led always stays on. When I press a button the receiver doesn't work. I've tried to clean up the button contacts, I've changed batteries, but nothing!

@RickOsgood

10 жыл бұрын

It does sound like one the the buttons is somehow stuck on. If the receiver is not responding to the remote at all, then it's possible that your remote is just sending out a repeat code over and over. I might try leaving the receiver turned on and then removing the battery from your remote for a minute or so. Then put the battery back in while pointing the remote at the receiver. It's possible that putting in the battery could send the initial command followed by the repeat code. If your receiver responds to the remote when plugging in the battery you would then possibly be able to figure out which button is causing the problem.

Well if you are going to write a paper for school, I would suggest using a more reputable source for your paper. To the best of my knowledge, everything I said in the video is accurate, but I'm no electrical engineer. I am just self-taught from other resources online. You should find a source online that you can point your teacher to and feel confident that the source is accurate. Hopefully my video at least helps you to understand the concepts.
