PC-PC COMMUNICATION USING FREQUENCY WAVES

INTRODUCTION
Communicating between two pcs can be done using a serial cable popularly called a NULL MODEM cable. This cable has only three wires. One is for transmit Another for receive and Third for common ground. This cable can be connected between two Pcs through serial port also called as RS-232 This project described here is to achieve the same data transfer not through an IR beam through a cable but

An inexpensive IR diode is used here which is modulated by serial port data. In the receiving end we use a high frequency IR receiver.

AIM & BENEFITS

AIM Our project is designed to involve in both hardware and software designing and their implementation. More than that we wanted to explore system level programming scope of C language. The communication project is designed because the scope for development is tremendous. Only the imagination and time constraint can limit what user can do in this project Communication is the emerging trend in the IT industry. And the industry needs people who can work on such projects. It is always worth trying our hands on communication software because they are not easy to work with. BENEFITS Economic Easy availability of electronic components Compact and hence Portable Efficient implementation at places wherever its required

FEATURES OF 555 TIMERS

The 555 has many attractive features The 555 timers can be used with supply voltage in the range of +5V to +18V and can drive a load up to 200 mill amperes. It is compatible with both TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) logic circuits. A single 555 timer can provide a time delay ranging from microseconds to hours, whereas counter timer can have a maximum timing range of days. The timer IC produces an excellent output waveform with typical rise and fall times of about 100 nano seconds. It can be used as either a monostable or astable multivibrator, with its timing periods variable from a few microseconds

RECEIVER

THE SIEMENS 5110 RECEIVER

The high frequency receiver receives the high frequency 43KHz signals transmitted from the IR. Under normal conditions, that is when the SIEMENS is not receiving any 43KHz signal the output of the receiver is high. When the receiver receives 43KHz signal the output of the SIEMENS become low. Thus to view the output of the receiver an inverter circuit designed using a PNP transistor is used.

DIODES There are several other special kinds of semiconductor diodes that find application in many electronic circuits and hold much importance. Light Emitting Diode (LED) IR LED
IR DIODE Infra-red (IR) leds are often used in remote-controlled systems. Here, the IR led is used to transmit a coded invisible light signal, which is detected by a matching infrared diode (and subsequently decoded) in a receiver system some distance away.
