Infra Red Remote Switch

ok..
first of all, here we go, i post in english this time

lately i’ve been experimenting stuffs, like i’ve allways done actually.. everytime i wake up

this time i wanna tell you guys about my experiment on Infra Red Remote. I kinda create my own remote control, just for fun. I got this idea when i was asleep in my compartment then i realize that the light in my room was too bright.. somehow i want to turn it off…. but, i was very lazy to step on the cold floor and walk to reach the lamp switch on the wall. then i started to think of what possible solution to the problem i had.

first thing would be having nanny or someone to help me reaching the switch, or if i had these super telekinetic ability.. i could just think of the switch to be turned off. but unfortunately i didnt have both the solutions. in a flash of a second.. i got the thought of.. a remote control which allow me to just move my fingers a bit and just enough to reach the switch and do the turning off of the lamp.

so after a while thinking, i could use my skill of electronics and embedded system programming to solve my problem. the solution come up. i can use either radio frequency or infra red to do the wireless data transferring my needs of turning of the switch into the switch. of course with limited money i had in hand my solution have to be cheap and affordable by me yet interesting to be done. lucky for me.. as i walked around electronic shops i found an interesting InfraRed Sensor that have been very good… well made with all the ability to band pass filter the infra red signal only for a certain band of modulation frequency.. and its very very cheap.. so i decided to use this instead of RF for economical reason.. and beside it’s just enough for my needs. i need to control my lamp not from very far distance.. just 2-4 meters

and so the experiments took places.

and this is the picture of my remotely controlled lamp.

my remote control can adapt to any remote control signal from a general remote control from any brand/manufacturer as long as work with the modulation frequency of my receiver. i placed a”learn” switch for the receiver module to learn signal from remote transmitter (remember, could be any remote transmitter-from any kind of device, television set, radio/tape/CD/DV.. etc ) as long as it operates on the modulation frequency of my receiver then my remote switch will work!

so now i can sleep tight when i forgot to switch off the lamp i just pick up my remote aim it at the lamp and put a click.. and the lamp just follow my order …. remotely! wirelessly!

i am now very happy

i wonder, have i actually explain it well.. at least i’ve tried…

ok.. that’s all for now.

here’s a video i recorded using my cellphone during my system test

judul yang sangat provokatif padahal isi gak nyambung

mari berbicara tentang kemajuan

kenapa kita (indonesia) terasa tertinggal banget ya, padahal punya daerah yang luas sekali.

yang terjadi adalah.. daerah yang luas ini gak dikelola optima, gak bisa diambil advantage-nya. (wah wah..belum belum udah ngantuk begini)… hemm.. harusnya daerah yang luas berarti kekayaan lebih. tapi nyatanya daerah yang luas ini bukan jadi asset malah jadi beban.

tapi…. protes itu percuma

harus bikin sumbangsih nyata..

comfort zone emang bikin malas berkreasi.. serasa udah nyaman padahal harusnya bisa lebih. ayo galakkan lagi transmigrasi…

susah juga mengeluarkan apa yg ada di kepala ini…

ya sudah lah..

sekarang saya sedang menjalankan sebuah skenario penempuhan cita2 yaitu pengen maju.. tidak mau ketinggalan dari yang lain. dengan banyak belajar dari orang/kelompok yang sudah maju. untuk berikutnya yang terpenting adalah melaksanakan/mengimplementasi hasil belajar tersebut.

bukti belajar yang sukses adalah bisa mengimplementasi.. jadi kesimpulannya, beban mental terberat adalah ada pada para doktor2 (kaum dengan waktu belajar terlama, =) ) – karena dituntut harus mengimplementasi lebih dong. dibanding yang cuma belajar sampe smu ato sarjana s1. =) ..

hehehehe
