IR Remote Control Transceiver

IR Transceiver built using home made PCB

For use with my home theater PC I developed an IR Transceiver by combining 2projects (Receiver, Blaster). Note that this device maybe taxing of your serial port, I take no responsibility for any damage you cause to your equipment. That said, I’ve provided PDF’s of the silkscreen, copper layout, and the Eagle PCB files. But first, the parts list:

• Common - PCB Board: FR4 Single-plated copper PCB
• SERIAL: 90° through-hole female DB-9 connector- Transmitter
• D2: 1N4148
• R2: 1kΩ Resistor
• XMT: Infrared LED- Receiver
• D1: 1N4148
• R1: 4.7kΩ Resistor
• IC1: 7805 Voltage regulator TO-220
• REC: IR Receiver (Radioshack cat.276-640)
• C1: 4.7μf Capacitor
