Hello
I have made an IR sender / receiver unit, and want to know the best way to power the sending unit.
Currently its using a PIC12F675 which is 5 volt logic, and this obviously needs to be powered by battery, id rather not have a 9V battery as there big and heavy, but two AAA's only make 3 volt.
is there any good way for getting from 3 to 5 volts? or any other things you could suggest to resolve this issue?
Many thanks
Dominic.
