IR led trouble 16 Years Ago by Mr.UNOwen If anyone is familiar with the video game console Wii, I'm having trouble trying building an infrared bar for the controller to work on my pc. For those who don't know, the IR bar works as a reference point by constantly emitting IR light. Currently I'm getting a weak signal from the bar. I'm getting power through usb(5v I think), the leds are … Re: IR led trouble 16 Years Ago by Prometheus12345 USB is 5V, and should have more than enough power for an LED lightbar.....but are you sure you have polarity correct as well? Try adding one LED in the lightbar that projects visible light, so you know that you have power and have established proper polarity. The LED's you indicated run on 2.8V, so you mighta blown them by forcing 5V through … Re: IR led trouble 16 Years Ago by Mr.UNOwen Well it turns out I'm not getting enough amps. With the 10 IR leds in parallel I need 200 mA. So as of now I'm trying to do it with 12v, but I just cant seem to get it right. They're brighter than before but still dim. The annoying part of it all this is that the resistors aren't holding up. Currently I'm using 1/2 a watt resistors and they're … laser/IR tracker using mouse 13 Years Ago by python01 Hi all, I am trying to set up a system like Scatt or Notpel(alot simpler, but using basic principle), and i need to get the laser in an optical mouse to be able to track a laser or IR LED. so far I have managed to get the mouse to move the cursor with the Ir LED, but now i need a program that I can use to trace the movements of the LED, then print… Re: IR circuit to connect to serial/ COM port 12 Years Ago by jbennet Maybe use an Arduino? They have IR modules available. Re: IR circuit to connect to serial/ COM port 12 Years Ago by shawnv100 hey thanks a lot....actually i ended up using a basic IR circuit with a TSOP sensor....i guess it should do...i'll order an Arduino if i can delay the project submission date a little bit...i'll read the data from the hyperterminal i guess...thanks again !

I know about the camera module which plugs directly into the board, I was wondering however if there are any alternatives, usb powered so I could perhaps plug in more than one camera simultaneously. RPI has application logic, so I can use C# + … Problems with my IR device 19 Years Ago by MpG Hi, I borrowed from a friend an Mobile Action IR device,Model MA-620 that works.I have used it with my mobile phone a SIEMENS S-65.The Siemens software seems to connect through IR 1 out of 10 attempts for no reason.I am able though of senting files to PC through IR device software but only one at a time!!!On the contrary SIEMENS software has an … Webcam IR mouse control 14 Years Ago by Tech B I cam up with this when I seen what Johnny Lee can do with a wiimote. Youtube it to check it out, pretty amazing. I realized not everybody has a wiimote or a bluetooth dongle to connect it to the PC, so I used my webcam and python. The webcam needs to have a filter on it to rid everything but the IRLED. A few layers of film negative, the black … Re: Webcam IR mouse control 14 Years Ago by Tech B After I got this working, I wanted to map two IR dots to mimic the WII Mote a little better. [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread240812.html[/url] The mouse movement will be mapped to the slope of the line. And the whole click thing doesn't work as smoothly, so I have rigged a mouse to a hat and extended the buttons to run down to the mouth.… Reading IR circuit signals from serial port using Java 12 Years Ago by shawnv100 I am trying to use Java to detect signals from the serial port sent from an IR circuit. When the IR circuit detects an obstacle, it gives an output of 0 volts and otherwise the output is 5 volts. Can I read these voltage differences directly on the PC using Java. Do I need to have a PIC or some other micro controller integrated in the circuit? Laptop IR TV Controller Program? 18 Years Ago by nizzy1115 I have a tv that i lost the remote for and standard controllers dont work to switch the tv/video (thats what i need). So i decided to find a program that would let my laptop be the remote control for my tv through its ir port. However, i havent found anything yet. :-| does anyone know of a program that allows me to do this. I am running xp pro … No float, no ir 15 Years Ago by forumdude123 Whenever I go to arcadestreet.com and play traffic slam, it would work for a bit, then after a couple of games, it would crash.

Re: laser/IR tracker using mouse 13 Years Ago by python01 I've simplified the design, now all I need is a program to track the optical mouse coordinates, and to "print" a copy of the path to the screen. I am also trying to find a way to stop the track and to save is when the left mouse button is pressed. Thanks all, Python01 IR circuit to connect to serial/ COM port 12 Years Ago by shawnv100 I am trying to make an Alarm system which involves an Infra-red circuit which is connected to the serial port on the PC and generates a signal when motion is detected. The signal is to be read by a Java program and an e-mail sent to the client. Does anyone know how the circuit is to be made? Re: IR circuit to connect to serial/ COM port 12 Years Ago by shawnv100 are Arduino's readily available in the market?...what kind of signal is to be generated at the COM port for a PC to detect it?...is it a voltage difference or a logic value? Re: IR circuit to connect to serial/ COM port 12 Years Ago by jbennet Yes, they are very common. Small prototyping boards. Under £50. [url]http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=50[/url] I have made a system where my Arduino was reading the values of a light and temperature sensor.

And I also found out I can use a lighter instead of an IRLED. It amazed me and my wife's family =) Re: Reading IR circuit signals from serial port using Java 12 Years Ago by NormR1 I think you will need some kind of driver that will connect to java to get data from a serial port. Re: Reading IR circuit signals from serial port using Java 12 Years Ago by rubberman A steady 5v or 0v signal is not a standard RS-232 signal. First, you need a specialized driver capable of detecting that the voltage change is valid and not just a transient glitch (not uncommon), and then passing the appropriate information to the user-space application (java in this case). Honestly, this would be a lot easier in C, and may be … Re: Reading IR circuit signals from serial port using Java 12 Years Ago by shawnv100 yeah...i installed the driver....i had tested this with a hyper terminal and i did get readings...so shouldn't java be able to detect it as well...
