Remote sensor sends data via mains supply Diagram Digital Remote Thermometer

This circuit is intended for precision centigrade temperature measurement, with a transmitter section converting to frequency the sensors output voltage, which is proportional to the measured temperature. The output frequency bursts are conveyed into the mains supply cables. The receiver section counts the bursts coming from mains supply and shows the counting on three 7-segment LED displays. The least significant digit displays tenths of degree and then a 00.0 to 99.9 °C range is obtained. Transmitter-receiver distance can reach hundred meters, provided both units are connected to the mains supply within the control of the same light-meter.

Transmitter circuit operation:

IC1 is a precision centigrade temperature sensor with a linear output of 10mV/°C driving IC2, a voltage-frequency converter. At its output pin (3), an input of 10mV is converted to 100Hz frequency pulses. Thus, for example, a temperature of 20°C is converted by IC1 to 200mV and then by IC2 to 2KHz. Q1 is the driver of the power output transistor Q2, coupled to the mains supply by L1 and C7, C8.

The frequency pulses coming from mains supply and safely insulated by C1, C2 & L1 are amplified by Q1; diodes D1 and D2 limiting peaks at its input. Pulses are filtered by C5, squared by IC1B, divided by 10 in IC2B and sent for the final count to the clock input of IC5. IC4 is the time-base generator: it provides reset pulses for IC1B and IC5 and enables latches and gate-time of IC5 at 1Hz frequency. It is driven by a 5Hz square wave obtained from 50Hz mains frequency picked-up from T1 secondary, squared by IC1C and divided by 10 in IC2A. IC5 drives the displays cathodes via Q2, Q3 & Q4 at a multiplexing rate frequency fixed by C7. It drives also the 3 displays paralleled anodes via the BCD-to-7 segment decoder IC6. Summing up, input pulses from mains supply at, say, 2KHz frequency, are divided by 10 and displayed as 20.0°C.

  • More simple setup: place a thermometer close to IC1 sensor, then set R4 to obtain the same reading of the thermometer in the receivers display.
  • Keep the sensor (IC1) well away from heating sources (e.g. Mains Transformer T1).
  • Linearity is very good.
  • Warning! Both circuits are connected to 230Vac mains, then some parts in the circuit boards are subjected to lethal potential! Avoid touching the circuits when plugged and enclose them in plastic boxes.

USB Enabled Remote Control

The objective of a remote control is to have the ability to operate a device from a certain distance. Nevertheless, remote controls usually are in places where we need to move around to find. This makes the remote totally useless as you may have used that time and energy to operate the device personally. If we take into account the limited reach that remote have, along with the fact that they are battery operated, we have an obsolete technology. All this can be fixed by developing a new remote control system.

Hacks and Mods: USB Enabled Remote Control
 
A lot of designs have been completed on systems that operate by clapping. But they have some disadvantages. Such as the fact that they work over only one sound or command. Another fact is that daily activities must be interrupted to give a command.

A whistling command system has been developed to control domestic devices. It works by detecting the sound peaks that are uniquely produced by whistles. Sound from each whistle is processed to give the order to the device.

The sound is received by a mic placed in the room. The microphone is connected to a USB device that transfers the information to a Linux operated computer. Once the command is recognized, the computer sends it to the device.

UHF FM Remote Control Receiver Circuit

The receiver is intended primarily for use with the remote control UHF transmitter described in the preceding article. It is a super-regenerative type with an active RF amplifier, T1. The antenna signal is applied to the input inductor via a BNC socket, K1. The input circuit is tuned by trimmer C4. The amplified RF signal is applied to the input of the super-regenerative stage based on transistor T2. Although  the oscillator is, strictly speaking, not tuned, it will lock on to the amplified RF signal applied via coupling capacitor C7. The low-frequency modulation component is extracted from the oscillator signal with the aid of low-pass filter, R6-R7-C12-R8-C13. The signal level at the demodulator output is 50 to 800 mVpp, so that further amplification is required·before the signal can be applied to a digital input.  

The inductors in the RF amplifier input and output are made from 1 mm dia. silver-plated wire. The length of the pieces of wire is indicated by the component overlay. The wires run at a height of about 3 mm above the board surface. Note that the stator terminal of C4 is bent upwards and soldered direct to the input inductor. The same goes for junction C6-C7, which is soldered ‘in the air‘, directly op to the hot end of the inductor wire. Inductor L1 consists of 12 turns of 0.6-mm dia. enamelled copper wire. Its internal diameter is 3 mm. Each of chokes g and L3 consists of 4 turns of 0.2-mm dia enamelled copper wire through a 3 mm long ferrite bead. Capacitor C8 is a surface-mount technology (SMT) type which is fitted at the solder side of the board, as are the BFG65 and the BFQSO. The type indica- tion printed on the transistors is legible from the component side of the board. As indicated by the dashed lines on the component overlay, the super-regenerative section of the circuit must be screened from the rest. To do this, it is  best to solder a 20 mm high tin plate box on to the PCB as indicated.

Remote Controlled Fan Regulator Wiring diagram Schematic

Remote-Controlled Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram. Using this schema, you can change the speed of the fan from your couch or bed. Infrared receiver module TSOP1738 is used to receive the infrared signal transmitted by remote control. The schema is powered by regulated 9V. The AC mains is stepped down by transformer X1 to deliver a secondary output of 12V-0-12V. The transformer output is rectified by full-wave rectifier comprising diodes D1 and D2, filtered by capacitor C9 and regulated by 7809 regulator to provide 9V regulated output. Any button on the remote can be used for controlling the speed of the fan. Pulses from the IR receiver module are applied as a trigger signal to timer NE555 (IC1) via LED1 and resistor R4.


Remote-Controlled
Remote-Controlled Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram

IC1 is wired as a monostable multivibrator to delay the clock given to decade counter-cum-driver IC CD4017 (IC2).Out of the ten outputs of decade counter IC2 (Q0 through Q9), only five (Q0 through Q4) are used to control the fan. Q5 output is not used, while Q6 output is used to reset the counter. Another NE555 timer (IC3) is also wired as a monostable multivibrator. Combination of one of the resistors R5 through R9 and capacitor C5 controls the pulse width.  The output from IC CD4017 (IC2) is applied to resistors R5 through R9. If Q0 is high capacitor C5 is charged through resistor R5, if Q1 is high capacitor C5 is charged through resistor R6, and so on.

Optocoupler MCT2E (IC5) is wired as a zero-crossing detector that supplies trigger pulses to monostable multivibrator IC3 during zero crossing. Opto-isolator MOC3021 (IC4) drives triac BT136. Resistor R13 (47-ohm) and capacitor C7 (0.01µF) combination is used as snubber network for triac1 (BT136). As the width of the pulse decreases, firing angle of the triac increases and speed of the fan also increases. Thus the speed of the fan increases when we press any button on the remote control. Assemble the schema on a general-purpose PCB and house it in a small case such that the infrared sensor can easily receive the signal from the remote transmitter.

Mains Remote Alert

Pressing the pushbutton of the transmitter, a sound and/or light alert is activated in the receiver. The system uses no wiring or radio frequencies: the transmitted signal is conveyed into the mains supply line. It can be used at home, in any room from attic to cellar, simply plugging transmitter and receiver in the wall mains sockets. Transmission range can be very good, provided both units are connected to the mains supply within the control of the same light-meter.

Transmitter schema operation:

Q1 and Q2 are wired as a Darlington pair to obtain the highest possible output from a Hartley type oscillator running at about 135KHz frequency. The 230Vac mains is reduced to 30Vdc without the use of a transformer by means of C2 reactance, a two diode rectifier cell D1 & D2 and Zener diode D3.
The oscillator output is taken from L1 secondary winding and injected into the mains wiring by means of C1.

Receiver schema operation:

The 135KHz sinewave generated by the transmitter is picked-up from mains wiring by C1 and selected by the tuned schema L1-C3. Q1 greatly amplifies the incoming sinewave and converts it in a 12V-peak squarewave. D4 & D5 limit the input voltage at Q1 base to less than 1V-peak to avoid damaging of the transistor due to the high voltage transients frequently occurring on the mains line. D6 eliminates any negative component of the signal and Q2 drives the load. C7 is necessary to smooth the signal residues appearing across the load.
The 12Vdc supply for this unit is obtained as described above for the transmitter schema.

Notes:

* Transmitter and receiver coils L1s must be tuned regulating their ferrite cores to obtain maximum output at C3 leads, either in transmitter and receiver.
* This setup is better done using an oscilloscope and placing the two units as far as possible to each other.
* The tuning of the coils at 135KHz frequency should be obtained with the ferrite core almost totally inserted in its slot, if 455KHz IF transformers are used for both L1s.
* Using IF transformers different from those specified, a change in both C3s value could be needed. The value of these capacitors may vary from 1 to 3.3nF but must be the same in transmitter and receiver.
* The load can be a beeper, a LED or both. Omitting the beeper and choosing the LED as the only load, its limiting resistor R7 should be reduced in value to about 1K, to increase device brightness. In this case, a 10mm. diameter LED type or greater, can also be useful .
* Warning! These units are connected to 230Vac mains, then some parts in the schema boards are subjected to lethal potential! Avoid touching the diagram when plugged and enclose them in plastic boxes.
