Additional IR LED's

Post by fatchick1o9 »

Can Q1 supply enough current to drive a 2nd LED added in parallel to LED1?

My apologies. I was too lazy to look up Q1's spec and do some math. There is sufficient juice to drive another LED.

I rounded up all my old remotes and pulled the IR LED from the ones that matched the narrow field TVBGONE IR LED's. Now I can continue on my project to make a small LiPo powered box that fires forward, backward and to the side. I'm thinking of putting a small clip on it to clip onto a belt or pants pocket flap. That way I can trigger the device and be facing (almost) any direction and have it do it's magic.

Basically I'm using the casing and LCD screen from an old Pager (what we used before cellphones). That way it doesn't look out of place. 8)
