I had this idea but it did not work.
I used an IR LED to transmit a modulated stream of pulses. The RX is a TSOP 1738. Now, the 1738 outputs data serially. since i am using a simple 16f84a for a micro, i cant use UART to obtain data. so what i did was that i used a 4 bit shift register, configured as serial in parallel out. the parallel outputs can be easily interfaced with the PIC.
I am runnin the register clock at 38 Mhz, the frequency at which the IR LED is running. the circuit sans the register works with another microcontroller which can accept serial data but i NEED to make it run with a 16f84a. any suggestions ???
