Re: Amplify Remote control IR signal

Just an FYI...

If you are trying to get more distance out of your remote, then making the remote more powerful will help.

But, if you are trying to stop interference from other remotes, making it more powerful won't help.

Since the IR signal is a series of pulses, it relies on an ON state, and an OFF state to send those pulses.

So, even if your ON state can be seen on the moon, when your remote is in the OFF state (your IR LED not illuminated), other remotes could be in an ON state and transmitting IR which would also be picked up by your receiver... This would be still seen as a signal from you...and would confuse your receiving system.

There is very little you can do to help with this...besides totally different transmitting and receiving systems.
