help,CFL light interferes with IR sensor

[aruna1]

hello guys i made a **broken link removed**.today i attach it to wall and connected to fan.its working fine except its IR sensor activates by CFL in my room(doesnt give any problem f i use incandesent light).i use VS1838 IR receiver.and i dont send data only single pulse to activate.somehow CFL light interfears with sensor.any idea how to overcome this?
thanks

Yes, as suggested in your previous thread https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/remote-fan-controller-help.96125/ use an encoded IR signal. I advised you in that thread that you would have problems if you used only the pulse of IR in a room with a flouresnt light fixture.

Build a 'real' remote, your existing one will respond to any source of modulated IR.

fixed it added a pull up resistor and now works fine
