hello zachtheterrible & lavenatti
Thanks for yout time and effort. REally appreciate it.
I don't know what an SCR is, but it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
So zachtheterrible, what your saying is, with your circuit, each time the reciever IR led receives a pulse from the Transmitter, and this runs through to the SCR it will change the state of the scr to allow current to flow to the LED? And vice versa, by interupting the SCR again, the state will be changed to cut off the circuit to the LED?
If so it sounds perfect, and, whats more "simple"
Hello lavenatti, I like your idea too, and I've been researching flip flop circuits/IC's. I've come very close to using a 555, but I can't work out how to wire/connect up the pins so that it actually "latches"....currently it sned sout an ocsillating output.
I must say, I'm really enjoying learning all this. Fantastic.
Thanks guys.
