Remote Controlled Home Appliances project using ATmega8

Image
Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank Avinash Gupta for writing all the valuable tutorials and libraries for AVR Microcontrollers and helping people like me to build projects and learn new things. I am dedicating this post to him!   Introduction: Using remote keys from 1 to 4, you can control 4 appliances. You can easily extend this number to as many you wish. For example, if you press key_1 on your remote, fan will turn ON. If you press the same key again, fan will turn OFF i.e each time you press a key configured for an appliance, the condition will toggle. I have programmed the MCU such that all devices will turn OFF on pressing power button(RED COLOR on top of your remote). You can also choose combinations like turning all fans OFF at a time, etc. With little tweaking, you can change the program yourself! The status of the appliances is shown in an LCD. You can ignore this feature if you dont want LCD. I used LCD for developing the code. I main advantage in this project ...

Remote Operated Home Appliances

Here is the circuit diagram of Remote Operated Home Appliances or Remote controlled Home appliances. Connect this circuit to any of your home appliances (lamp, fan, radio, etc) to make the appliance turn on/off from a TV, VCD, VCR, Air Conditioner or DVD remote control. The circuit can be activated from up to 10 meters. It is very easy to build and can be assembled on a vero board or a general-purpose PCB. Circuit Diagram The 38kHz infrared rays generated by the remote control are received by IR receiver module TSOP1738 of the circuit. Pin 1 of TSOP1738 is connected to ground, pin 2 is connected to the power supply through R5 and the output is taken from pin 3. The output signal is amplified by Q1. The amplified signal is fed to clock pin 14 of decade counter IC CD4017 (IC1). Pin 8 of IC1 is grounded, pin 16 is connected to vcc and pin 3 is connected to D2 (Red LED), which glows to indicate that the appliance is ‘off.’ The output of IC1 is taken from its pin 2. D3 connected to pin 2 i...

Protection For Your Electrical Appliances Circuit

This is a project of Protection For Your Electrical Appliances Circuit Diagram. Here is a very low-cost circuit to save your electrically operated appliances, such as tv, tape recorder, refrigerator, and other instruments during sudden tripping and resumption of mains supply. Appliances like refrigerators and air-conditioners are more prone to damage due to such conditions. The simple circuit given here switches off the mains supply to the load as soon as the power trips. The supply can be resumed only by manual intervention. Thus, the supply may be switched on only after it has stabilised.  Protection For Your Electrical Appliances Circuit Diagram Protection For Your Electrical Appliances The circuit comprises a step-down transformer followed by a full-wave rectifier and smoothing capacitor C1 which acts as a supply source for relay rl1. Initially, when the circuit is switched on, the power supply path to the step-down transformer X1 as well as the load is incomplete, as the rela...
