Hey Bob,
I have put together two wireless circuits, the circuit attached above is a IR based circuit and the one attached below is a RF based circuit. What i am trying to do is use another PIC to trigger the buttons on these IR/RF circuits. I am using a 5v SPST relay (http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SY4036) with a 1N4004 diode across it.
For some reason the relay works perfectly with the RF circuit (PIC16f684) but with the IR circuit (PIC16F630) it works intermittently (1 in 50 triggers).
Is there any obvious reason this doesn't work, or is there an alternative to relays?
Kind Regards,
Jeremy
