Remote Control Circuit Through RF Without Microcontroller

This is a simple type remote control by using RF communication without microcontroller. In this project a remote has been designed for various home appliances like television, fan, lights, etc. It gives lot of comfort to the user since we can operate it by staying at one place. We can control any of the appliances by using this remote within the range of 400 foots. In this project consist of two sections, transmitter (remote) and receiver section. Whenever we are pressing any key in the remote it generates the corresponding RF signals, and these signals are received by the receiver unit. ASK transmitter and receiver is used as transmitter and receiver. HT12E, HT12D encoders and decoders are used in this electronic circuit. The block digram of the whole circuit is given below.   



  


In remote section consist of an encoder (HT 12E) and a ASK transmitter. The encoder generates 8 bit address and 4bit data. We can set the address by using the DIP switch connected in A0 to A7 (pin 1 to 8 ) encoder. If we set an address in the remote section, the same address will be required in the receiver section. So always set same address in transmitter and receiver. Whenever we press any key in the remote the encoder generates corresponding 4bit data and send this data with 8bit address by using ASK transmitter. The transmitting frequency is 433MHz. The transmitter output is up to 8mW at 433.92MHz with a range of approximately 400 foot (open area) outdoors.  Indoors, the range is approximately 200 foot.

At the receiver section ASK receiver is present. The receiver also operates at 433.92MHz, and has a sensitivity of 3uV.  The ASK receiver operates from 4.5 to 5.5 volts-DC, and has both linear and digital outputs. It receives the datas from the transmitter. Then the decoder (HT 12D) decodes the data and it will enable the corresponding output pin (pin 10,11,12,13).



RECEIVER CIRCUIT









For relay connection input the pins going to led to cd4017 and make ground common for both circuit.add 6volt relay to the cd4017 circuit at point A and B.

THE 434 MHZ ASK TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER MODULE


The RF module, as the name suggests, operates at Radio Frequency. The corresponding frequency range varies between 30 kHz & 300 GHz. In this RF system, the digital data is represented as variations in the amplitude of carrier wave. This kind of modulation is known as Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK).

Transmission through RF is better than IR (infrared) because of many reasons. Firstly, signals through RF can travel through larger distances making it suitable for long range applications. Also, while IR mostly operates in line-of-sight mode, RF signals can travel even when there is an obstruction between transmitter & receiver. Next, RF transmission is more strong and reliable than IR transmission. RF communication uses a specific frequency unlike IR signals which are affected by other IR emitting sources.

This RF module comprises of an RF Transmitter and an RF Receiver. The transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx) pair operates at a frequency of 434 MHz. An RF transmitter receives serial data and transmits it wirelessly through RF through its antenna connected at pin4. The transmission occurs at the rate of 1Kbps - 10Kbps.The transmitted data is received by an RF receiver operating at the same frequency as that of the transmitter.

The RF module is often used alongwith a pair of encoder/decoder. The encoder is used for encoding parallel data for transmission feed while reception is decoded by a decoder. HT12E-HT12D, HT640-HT648, etc. are some commonly used encoder/decoder pair ICs.

A 555 TIMER LED FLASHER CIRCUIT

                                                 
                   CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF 555TIMER IN ASTABLE MODE




An astable multivibrator, often called a free running multivibrator, is a rectangular wave generating circuit. The circuit doesnt need any triggering. The timing of the circuit is determined by the resistors and the capacitors used in it. The details of the astable multivibrator are:

Pin1 is grounded; Pins 4 and 8 are shorted, Pin 3 gives the timing output; Pins2 and 6 are short circuited and connected with a capacitor C1; at Pin 5 a bypass capacitor is used having value of 0.01uF; a supply of 3v is given to the circuit, the suppy can be more upto 9v. Pin 7 is connected through Pin 4 through a resistor R1and also with pin 6 through resistor R2.

The output pin 3 of the circuit is connected with a led having positive side in the pin 3 and negative side with the ground.

The overall oscillation period of the circuit an be determined by

                 T = 0.693.(R1 + R2).C1 + 0.693.R2.C1 = T,high + T,low
       
                 where T,high =  0.693.(R1 + R2).C1

                           T,low =  0.693. R2. C1

Also,

                                                               
 the frequency of oscillations= 1/T =1.44 / ( R1 + 2R2).C

A SIMPLE DECADE COUNTER USING LM555 TIMER AND CD4017

A decade counter is simply a device which counts from one to ten.A decade counter here is made by using a common LM555 timer ic and a CD4017 decade counter ic.The main pupose of using an 555 timer here is to provide pulse signals to the input of the ic CD4017 to toggle from one value to another.With each pulse the counter get increased bye one.The timer value can be set by changing the value of the resistor r1 and r2 and also the capacitor c1.Here i am using resistor value of 28kohm each and a capacitor value of 100uf.the 555 timer is working in astable vibrating mode which i will discuss later.When the power is supplied to the LM555ic the pulses starts entering into the port 14 of CD4017 counter.This starts the counting of the counter.The counter counts from 1 to 10 and then again return to 1 and this process continues till the pulses are fed into the input of 4017 ic.The final project can be viewed on youtube.Here in this video,i have set the counter to count from one to four but it can be extended to a value of ten.


The number of seven segments required for this decade counter is obviosly ten.The connection of a seven segment will we shown later in this forum.


The capacitor having value 0.01uF is just an ordinary ceramic capacitor which can be easily digged out of spare circuits having printed 103 on them.The capacitor c1 is an electrolytic capacitor having value 100uF.The resistance value can be changed to get the desired pulse timings.For any queries ,please post here.
