INFRARED DETECTOR & EMITTER LAB

As a part of my Circuits class, we were tasked with creating a circuit that could detect infrared light and would indicate whether or not it was detecting an infrared signal. As things like TV remotes and other remote controls work using infrared light, I was able to see many other signals using the circuit I built.

IR Tester Circuit

This is the circuit used to generate and capture the following signal plots. It involves several comparators, an IR Emitter, an IR detector, and indicator LEDs.

Scopy Oscilloscope Reading with IR Emitter

This oscilloscope reading was measured while the IR emitter was outputting a square wave.

Scopy Oscilloscope Reading with IR Remote

This oscilloscope reading was measured while the IR emitter was replaced with an IR remote outputting a more specified wave.
