    Rr1 • 4 rr1 introduction welcome to the rr1 kit (and if you don’t have the time, the wired and tested version). Let’s take a moment to help you understand the basic workings of ir remote controls and how the rr1 works. This will better help you understand what you are about to build. As simple as it...

    Rr1 • 5 rr1 theory of operation the rr1 may look simple but there is actually quite a lot being done inside each one of the parts. Many individual components are packed inside of the ir receiver part (u2) itself; so many in fact that if it was built up with discrete components, it would never fit in...

For a logical zero, the led will still be switched on and off at a rate of 38 khz, but this time only for 30% of the total time (0.30 seconds total of the entire sec- ond). When the ir detector “sees” a 38 khz ir signal,...

Although you may be in a hurry to see the end results, before you switch on the power be sure to check all wiring and components...

    Rr1 • 10 rr1 remote repeater kit assembly assembly of the rr1 is straight forward but it does require some time and patience. To get our bearings, we will start with mounting the power jack and move on from there. It serves as a good reference point for the other parts. 1. Install j3, the 2.1 mm pow...

    Rr1 • 13 testing the rr1 to begin testing the rr1 we will need the following items: ac power supply (6 to 12vac) or dc power supply (8 to 14vdc). A known functional ir remote control. A mating piece of equipment that the remote control works with. Begin by positioning the ir led in front of the equi...

The only option you may need to change is the jumper configuration of j2, the ‘data restore’ enable header. By default, leave the jumper header ’in’ or on the pins. This will tell the micro-contro...
