Message-ID: <44508@ut-emx.uucp> Date: 21 Feb 91 00:06:15 GMT Sender: news@ut-emx.uucp Reply-To: greg@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (Greg Harp) Organization: The University of Texas at Austin Lines: 15 Originator: greg@sylvester.cc.utexas.edu I am (still) dallying into the realm of infrared remotes and I was wanting some suggestions on the cheapest way to make a suitable 40kHz oscillator that can be easily modulated for output through an IR LED. I basically would like to make production cost (if I ever decide to go that far) as cheap as possible. So... I would appreciate some suggestions on the cheapest way to go. Can I beat a 555 in price without adding extra support hardware? Greg -- Greg Harp |"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
