simple IR transmitter receiver schematics

Hello, I'm looking for very simple plans/schematics for an infrared transmitter and receiver and was wondering if anyone had some available or could point me in the right direction. I found some plans on the web, bought all of the components and had no luck getting it to work. What I want to do is to remotely turn on an LED indicator from across the room (range of 12 feet) as a visual cue to my partner - something compact, generating no RF and with a low power consumption. Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

Hi there! Can you link to or post the plans/schematic you built from? Perhaps if the original design isn't broken, we can help you debug it.


Regards,
