Separating the project into two boards allowed us to hide most of the circuitry inside the watch on the bottom board while keeping the top board clean and simple looking. The top board contains the microcontrol
Remote controls transmit data on an modulated infrared beam. An infrared receiver IC separates the modulated beam into a clean stream of 0s and 1s. The data stream is decoded by a microcontroller and sent to a computer over a USB connection. Software processes the codes and triggers actions ...
