USING TV REMOTE AS A CORDLESS

MOUSE FOR THE COMPUTER

ABSTRACT
A typical TV remote sends coded infrared data that is read by an IR
sensor duly interfaced to a microcontroller and then to the com port of a
PC.
This IR code is traditionally RC5 code as followed by remotes from
PHILIPS.
The same data is then burnt to a microcontroller the output of which
shall drive desired operation through serial port connection as
conventionally performed by the PC Mouse.
Up - down, right - left buttons of the TV remote can be used for as
similar operation to that of a mouse and remotely thus achieving the same
function.

MAX 232
The MAX232 is an integrated circuit that
converts signals from an RS-232serial port to
signals suitable for use in TTL compatible
digital logic circuits.
The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver and
typically converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTS

signals .
When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to
convert, it changes a TTL Logic 0 to

between +3 and +15V, and changes TTL

Logic 1 to between -3 to -15V, and vice
versa for converting from RS232 to TTL.

DB9 CONNECTOR
The DB9 (originally DE-9) connector is an
analog 9-pin plug of the D-Sub miniature
connector family (D-Sub or Sub-D).

Working of project
The project uses an IR receiver such as TSOP1738 that responds to only
specific frequency of 38 kHz
A standard TV remote that delivers infrared codes at 38 kHz is thus
received by the TSOP receiver feeding a 14 bit data so emitted from the
remote to the controller through receiver. The program is so returned that
it recognizes the 14 bit data relating to a particular number being pressed
at the remote.
Here the channel ON & OFF buttons and volume low to volume high
buttons of the TV remote buttons are used for sending specific 14 bit data
to pin 13 of port 3.3.
Software used at the PC receives these commands the serial port being
connected to the MC through MAX232, RS232 interface. Thus the TV
remote works like a mouse from a distance

kernels, debuggers, simulators, integrated environments, evaluation

boards,

and

emulators

for

ARM7/ARM9/Cortex-M3,

XC16x/C16x/ST10, 251, and 8051 MCU families.

Compilers are programs used to convert a High Level Language to

object code. Desktop compilers produce an output object code for the
underlying microprocessor, but not for other microprocessors.

 i.e the programs written in one of the HLL like C will compile

the code to run on the system for a particular processor like x86
(underlying microprocessor in the computer).

For example compilers for Dos platform is different from the

Compilers for Unix platform So if one wants to define a compiler

then compiler is a program that translates source code into object
code.
