ICI16 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the ICI16 kit . In this manual we will try to help you understand IR remote controls and how they typically work, and also how this kit works, to help you understand what you are building. -
Page 5: Theory Of Operation
ICI16 THEORY OF OPERATION At first look the ICI16 may seem quite simple, but there is actually quite a bit to it on the “inside” of the components. Many items are inside the IR receiver part (U3/4) and if built up with discrete components it would never fit in this little kit. - Page 6 After the ICI16 locks on to the code it outputs it at J1 as a 4-bit number. The mode switch selects between two different methods of outputting data, and in fact only affects the “VALID”...

Notice how the solder joint looks on close up, clean and smooth with no holes or sharp points (6).

TESTING AND PROGRAMMING YOUR ICI16 To begin testing the ICI16 we will need the following items: Regulated 5VDC power. An infrared remote control... - Page 15 Apply 5V DC to pins 1 and 2 on header J2. Pin 1 is denoted with a triangle symbol. Install included header jumper between pins 2 and 3 to select IR mode. You are now ready to program your ICI16. PROGRAMMING YOUR ICI16 Remember to install some fresh batteries in your remote control, and aim the infrared LED towards the photo sensor.

Page 16: Example Hookups
EXAMPLE HOOKUPS Below are a couple of ideas on how to use the ICI16 in an application. Since it is designed to be an add-on module you can use it in a variety of ways. The top example shows how you can activate relays using a 4-16 line decoder (74HC154). -
Page 17: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If your ICI16 does not work at all, re-check the following: • correct orientation of ICs, Q1, Q2, and the electrolytic capacitors (see PC board layout diagram). • all solder connections PROBLEM: The green LED doesn’t blink when I aim my remote at it. - Page 18 It usually is something simple. Have your board revision handy to help our technicians find the proper schematic for your needs. You can email our tech support as well at the ramseykits.com website.
