IR Audio

July 29, 2009



I thought it would be cool to send an audio signal via infrared. I used a RadioShack IR transmitter and receiver. I browsed for amplifier circuits. I used a microphone from an earlier project and a speaker from a computer.

I'm still testing various parts of the circuit, but it does work. I've been able to transmit the signal across my kitchen counter top.
