ok let me start off this thread by stating that this project in no way shape or form has anything to do with school, its just something I've been playing around with.
Well now that I figured out the 4013 ic and got all that working I took an IR reciever module and hooked it up with the output going into a transistor instead of the switch thats in the schematic but the problem is when the power is connected the light lights up then when you press the remote it just blinks it doesn't shut off completely what could be causing this?
Do you think its because the tv remote I'm using pulses and that there needs to be a constant signal for a short time for it to turn on? It seems to me, in theory that it should operate just like the switch was but thats not the case I guess.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
I think if I get a chance I'm going to build a transmitter that gives out a constant signal instead of pulses and see if that does anything.
