Hey all.
I am using a 555 timer chip to power an IR LED, which switches something on or off. My question is, now my timer chip is sending out 38 kHz IR light. My IR receiver is made to pick up 38 kHz IR light, but only the first 14 (I think) pulses, then ignores all pulses without a pause. Is there any way I could have my TL555 timer chip send out 38 kHz bursts of about 14 waves? Or are there any other ways around this (possibly on the receiving end.)
Thanks,
John
edit: Possibly using just another 555 oscillator at some frequency going to the enable(would that be the reset?) of the other 555 timer chip?
