Apart from the content, what I love the most from this video is that there is no BACKGROUND MUSIC which most of the YTV's have in common.

Thank you so much to Ray, that help me with troubeshooting, I was not able to make it works, if this i formation is helpful, I was using awg 22 cable, and I think it causes some noise, I just replace cable and now it's working as expected. Great tutorial!

Very nice video! The range of this setup (especially with a beam this focused) is necessarily a major improvement over any other available DIY "IR blaster" for the Flipper Zero. To anyone interested in building a GPIO IR blaster (with or without a torch/lens), I highly recommend using Osram IR LEDs, models SFH4544 (20-degree beam) or SFH4545 (10-degree beam), or a combination of the two + a basic NPN transistor. Exceptional results (30+ meters without a lens). They tolerate the 5V / 20mA pulse combo very well without any resistor, despite their 1.7V nominal forward voltage, at 100mA.

Could you please share the connections and parts to make one that combines the two IR LEDs? I am afraid I don't know much about designing circuits, but I can build based on a schematic :) ... your help would be very much appreciated.

That’s fire 🔥🔥🔥

Well done, mate!

Nice video sir! I would love to see a range test! :D

you can also add a jack plug to another board you have and use a jack to connect the light to the board .

Great tutorial, as always! You're one of the few people on youtube who actually know how to solder properly, which makes me irrationally happy! Can you perhaps demonstrate the range difference?

Thank you! I haven't tested it out much only on my TV from outside the house through the window, maybe 30 meters away which worked buy you have to aim it. I tried the interal IR from the same distance, and it didn't work, so it was better than the internal IR. But by how much exactly I can be sure. I might see if I can do a comparison of some sorts in the future.

Looks great, I’ve been wanting to do this for so long but I am a person who second guesses my self and would never be able to confidently try this on my own. I’m guessing I won’t be able to find publicly available ones? I would love to buy one from you if it would not be to much trouble.

great vid. can you create basic ir blaster for flipper zero, wanted to build one but i need guide from prof. ty :)

Anyway to test the octocouppler? I have done the exact same thing you did and it is not working

dumb question: how can that opto handle the current from a 5W torch? datasheet shows 100mA max is it just because it's very short pulses/low duty cycle?

Hi Ray, can you tell us what is your camera/microscope? Thank you for this new amazing video ❤6 month ago I sold my Creality Cr20Pro...but. Xmas is close! 😊 I need a new one to do some parts/cases. I want to do tutos like you for French people's can we talk in private about that ?

5v might be too high for the IR torch as it runs off 3.7v, so you could burn out the IR LED/circuit.

@r4nd0m417 it would be underpowered compared to using the power from the battery. You could try it and then compare no harm in testing it out. Just noting the SD card power also runs off the 3.3v, so you dont really want anything that drains to much power from the 3.3v gpio pin.

Hi, After watching your video I bought everything to do the project. I also bought the magnetic base that revolutionized the way I work with components. But there's a catch. This experiment with this flashlight doesn't work, up close I can control the TV but moving away about 10/15 meters it no longer transmits the signal to the TV. At this point the original remote control is more powerful with a normal ir led. In these days I'm going to try other methods with the 3w ir leds that I have aside. If you have any advice to give me, I am happy to listen to it. Thank you for your tutorial.

I have only tested mine on my TV from outside my house through the window around 25-30m away. I was able to turn the TV on and off with the IR sniper where the internal IR couldn't. I haven't tested it further as I couldn't walk further away. Are you using it on a TV you have saved the signal or using the universal TV mode?

@@rayj1988 I used the universal remote control. I have a normal samsung TV. I spent a few minutes on the various tests, in the next few days I will do more tests To understand the maximum distance that can be reached at night without interference from the sun. I'll keep you posted

@rayj1988

@matteo.olivieri as the beam is much more focused with the IR sniper, you really need to aim at the tv. Using the universal tv function you have to hold and aim it for a while. So, it is best to test it with a saved signal.

The one I just built is ugly but it works! Thanks for the tutorial, next up will be the sub ghz. Thanks for the video!

Most remotes use 940nm. You can try 850nm, but I'm not sure if it will work or not. If you try, keep us updated.

love the videos man, but is nobody going to mention you're counting the pins on the IC wrong? you're using pin 4 and 5, not 6 and 5, the right side of a chip's pins are counted from the bottom. you're probably using the correct pins, but the numbering can be important when working off of schemamtics or tables. Now you know ;)
