    Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!!
    It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time. If you do run across a suspicious comment, I would appreciate you letting me know at info@dronebotworkshop.com.
    Thanks!
    Bill (The real one!)

      Please do 🙏. I have an IR project and struggling with changing the timer to timer 5 on the mega because I am using a TFT shield. I watched your video on ISR and that helped me to understand a bit more and I trying to figure it out. Gonna watch this video on by break. You do explain things very very well.

      Great video @Dronebotworkshop , got to learn a lot!👏
      But I have a genuine question :🤔
      (Q) What is the real use of remote-controlled lamp or may be some other Smart Home device?🙄As a tinkerer it's great to build such a product. But my question is that, is it really required?
      When something so common like a lamp has been used for generations using a simple electro-mechanical switch, what necessitates the need for add the remote control functionality ?
      I am asking this because I am badly confused😩 regarding my career choice. Do embedded systems like this remote-enabled lamp or some other is a *SERIOUS*🧐 application which has mainstream demand like for Laptops, Smartphones, Routers, TV Sets etc.
      P.S. : I am asking this question genuinely. I live in India where I don't see much use of such a product. I am confused regarding what career choice to make : Chip designing or Embedded SW/IoT Developnent?

    I bought 5 ESP8266 boards with OLED and WIFI for under £10, I have four main Projects, A fancy Digitally driven Analog clock, pendulum and mechanical chimes, Three axis CNC automation for my Slab Flattening router bed, Control and monitoring of my Pond temperature and water level, and a learning remote control for my Sony Smart TV, whose remote died and I couldn't get an original replacement only a third party one which is awful.
    I haven't done any programming since the 1980's Commodore and Sinclair BASIC and Z80 and 6502 machine code. But you make this look so easy.
    I uploaded The Arduino environment and ESP8266 board libraries, with my board announcing "Hello World" I'm ESP8266 OLED! D5=GPIO12=SCL and D6=GPIO14=SDA. I'm ready to get soldering to my Veroboard and start experimenting.

    WOW! That was a lot of very useful information!.
    I checked in to this presentation because I wanted to build another IR system to control a model railroad streetcar. I had the code from several years ago but when I tried to use it, it wouldn’t work because the IRremote library had been updates and now my existing code didn’t work. 😢
    Help from internet sources was cryptic, at best, and used a whole lot of jargon that I am unfamiliar with, since I am completely self taught on microcontrollers. DroneBot Workshop is once again my go-to source for easy to understand and accurate information presented in a clear concise style.
    Now it’s back to the workbench to try modifying my old code to fit the new IRremote version.
    Thanks again for making things easy to understand (I do use the back button a LOT)😅

    What a great video - and timely. I was just about to start a remote control project. I can’t imagine how many hours you spend putting this content together. I wonder how hard it would be to solve one of my most aggravating remote control issues. You can only type characters into a TV with the remote by using direction arrows - especially annoying when searching for a movie title on Netflix or similar apps. Would be nice to input characters from a phone keyboard directly to the TV.

    A good presentation overall. Someone has already pointed out you must have meant a 2N3904 rather than an 06.
    At 21:16 I'd suggest the dropping resistor is important as it allows one to seat the IR diode current to a predetermined value.
    At 21:15 your location of the IR diode looks undesirable to me. It would be more typical to locate the diode with the resistor in the collector circuit (as you actually do later in the video). It would be best to keep the collector to emitter voltage small when the transistor is on. Let the transistor stay cool.

    Great video thank you for sharing. Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but around the 23 minute mark, I believe you want a 2N3904, not a 2N3906. This will match the schematic symbol shown.

  • @tubeDude48
    @tubeDude48 Рік тому +4

    At 22:45 that should be a 2N3904 NOT 2N3906! At 38:16, I would have used the I2C to cut down on the number of connections!

    • @peircedan
      @peircedan 9 місяців тому +1

    I played around with 2 line LCD displays back when they had high voltage power supplies for the backlight. For the one I had, the R/W pin was to write custom characters into the display. I ran across the project a little while ago. The wirewrapped Z80 with RAM, EPROM and PIO and the custom characters I had put in the display still worked after over 30 years. Do modern LCDs accept custom characters?

Have you done anything with addressable LEDs? I've been playing with that with some success (and some failures). I had a hard time getting the $10 LED strip controller to recognize its IR remote, but eventually it started working. Thanks again. (Oh yeah, which ESP32 module are you using?)

      I'm a retired engineer. Worked 41 years in the aerospace industry. What I see coming is a huge demand for people that know IoT development to create the "Smart Factory". The Smart Factory concept relies on getting accurate data about the state of the production process and making real time adjustments to optimize the system. One project I worked on was optimizing the flow of parts, tools, and materials through a factory using a fleet of automated guided vehicles, overhead cranes, tugs, and pushcarts using a mixed integer optimization algorithm.
      If I was just starting my career, I'd go into IoT, machine learning, and optimization. Lots of high powered math and clever software development. Very few people have the ability and desire to do this kind of work and the demand will be huge. Short supply + high demand = great pay.

      For the remote controlled light: have the remote at the door to the bedroom to turn on the light, carry it to the bed and turn off the light there. Or have multiple remotes, one at the door, one at each bed.
      It could be done with wires, but that requires a lot of cables, and rewiring if you move the beds.
