IR receptor triggering without signal

Posted on
  • Hi, I'm trying to follow the infrared tutorial to record the patterns of my remote control. But it seems that my IR receptor triggers quite often, in the console I have a constant stream of readings, it accelerates significantly when I press the button in the controller. Is perhaps a bad receptor?

  • It might be worth bending the middle leg of the receptor out a little so it's 'sprung' into the hole. If there's an intermittent connection, that could cause the odd readings I guess?

  • Good approach Gordon, but is not, is tight and keeps triggering. Perhaps I should get a different receptor.

  • Seems like it was the receptor, bought a new one and now it works.
