Optoelectronics Project Proposal
Introduction
Our aim is to design and demonstrate a simple 5 channel remote control system to drive five
loads. The input signals or the commands are sent from a transmitter using IR transmission and
received by the IR receiver, processed and used to drive the loads. At both the transmitter and
receiver, a microcontroller is used to process the signals.
Principle behind the Circuit:
The circuit works on the principle of IR communication. IR communication involves
transmitting signals using infrared signal as the carrier. The input signal from switches is
processed by the microcontroller, encoded by the encoder, modulated and transmitted by the
transmitter. At the receiver, the modulated signal is demodulated by the IR receiver, decoded by
the decoder and processed by the microcontroller to control the output loads.
