can move your hand REALLY, REALLY, REALLY .... fast. (If you can move
that fast there are probably some military research facilities that would like to
talk to you). For the same reason, if the light source is moved rapidly past the
WCT3 you may also see the indicator flash indicating detection of the light.
You are actually modulating the IR signal seen by the WCT3 by blocking and
unblocking or moving the light source, (OOK modulation). An infrared control
turns the signal on and off in specific patterns and rates which are decoded by
the device being controlled.
Conclusion
Now that you are completely confused, don't worry about it, (I'm often con-
fused too), and enjoy your WCT3. Hopefully you have gained a basic under-
standing of the WCT3 operation. This description is intended to give a simple
overview of the unit. A more detailed description of the operation is beyond
the scope of this manual. If it has inspired you to learn more that's great.
There's a lot of information about electronic circuit design available on the
Web and with a little searching you can find much more detailed information
about the operation of the basic circuits described here. After years of elec-
tronics engineering I find lots of things I didn't know, (or is it that I forgot ....?),
out there. I forget....... ENJOY!!!!!
