This is for controlling the PC with an IR-remote control.

The orginal project can be found here: www.xs4all.nl/~dicks/avr/usbtiny/  

USBtiny LIRC compatible IR receiver and LCD controller

In this project there was not enough space for the LCD therefore is was removed.  Also some slight modifications were applied to the schematic.

  The PCB layout shows the top and bottom side. The size of the PCB is 35 x 20 mm which is in the size of an USB flash drive.

On the top of the board there is only the crystal oszilator, R1 and the TSOP IR receiver visible. There is slight difference between the PCB and the picture of the pototype as the TSOP is rotated by 90° and in the prototype the TSOP is connected by a wire-line.

On the bottom side of the board the remaining parts are located.

In the prototype R6 is a through-hole resistor, in the latest PCB version it is already SMD. This resistor is necesary as the software is waiting for the ready signal from the not used LCD.

 

As software the precompiled version from the original author should be used. This code is partly written in assembler language and requires a certain version of the GCC compiler. The Atmel Tiny is almost complete full.

PCB layout in Eagle format is available on request.
