Hi guys, I've been thinking about a project involving a infrared transmission. I've draw out a circuit picture (attachment) for your better understanding of my thinking. Can it work? I mean, can the Infrared signal successfully transmitted from outdoor to indoor controller board from a wire/cable?
Yes it will work, outdoor range, reliability and data speed of the outdoor end will significantly worse than indoor.
For a more reliable link I suggest you look to wireless, why? Sunny day + sun in wrong direction = no recieve, we find the CC chips very good
