Ok here comes another newbie question..
I am trying to play with IR for the first time so I purchased (5) TSOP32238 receivers and (5) TSOP4838 emitters. 5 because I’ll blow one up for sure…
I am so frustrated right now I can’t see straight. I been reading on the forum for the past few days and I am still stuck. Great information from several folks, so I am sure it something simple that I am doing wrong (hope hope).
First can the above IR units work together to send and receive IR data? will the 4838 send or is a receiver package says emitter...
I’ve tried a lot of different setup with no results. So what I am trying now is to just see IR light coming from the emitter. I am using a digital camera that is known to see IR (tested on TV remote). I’ve attached a picture of my circuit. but so far no luck.
I do not have a copy of my code at this time (its at the house) but its pretty much straight out of manual 2 and copies from forum post.
Output is C.0 using the suggested loop. Not shown in this picture is a red LED that I attached to C.1 that comes on for 3 sec between IR sending loops. that part is working so I know that the program is not hung.
ANY HELP would be great. Btw I am loving the picaxe. My wife says I am like a kid at Christmas.
I'll be back at the house in about an hour an ready to start testing again.
Thank you so much.
Jerry
