💬 MySWeMosIRShield - IR blaster shield for WeMos D1

[hek]

Nice!

I guess you already found @BartE sketch as a starting point?

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/master/examples/IrSensor/IrSensor.ino

[emc2]

Thanks @hek , yes I did saw it. I did try to port it to work on ESP8266 with IRremoteESP8266.h but without success so far.

That's totally why my first point is "be able to record, save and reuse an IR code without editing the code. Plenty of EEPROM space to store data", which is what this sketch was able to do. I have the feeling that someone that know what he is doing can probably do it easily, but for me it's a nightmare.

[gloob]

I like the board and did already order some pcbs for testing.

[gloob]

I'm right that there is no resistor between the LEDs and 5V or GND?
Is it not required?

[emc2]

I hope you will like this board when you receive it!

True, no current limiting resistor in that configuration for IR LEDs. One of my previous version had one and IR signal was quite dim. By having 7 LEDs the current in each one is actually quite low, and they are only ON for a few micro seconds. I have been using this specific configuration for 3 months now (breadboard to various prototypes) and no burned LEDs so far.

It may differ for other IR LEDs, but TSAL series is pretty resilient and by using 7 LEDs it can take up a few amps without any problem. (If you do the calculations you will find that you could add a 5ohm resistor to limit to 100mA, or 2.5ohm for 200mA, so as you can see it's safe to skip)

Even using ONE regular (visible light) LED for a quick test to send a signal is actually ok, but leaving it on for more than 5s is sufficient to burn it. Having all seven LEDs, they were still working after 1 minute being ON, which is already far from any real case use.

@emc2 I'm not sure you can calculate like that as all LEDs are different. The LED manufactured with the lowest forward voltage can take way more current than the others and die prematurely. Then the next one, and so on.

[emc2]

@Nca78 Not sure either to be honest, but technically I only did the calculation for a specific type of LED, the ones in the BOM.

I do use TSAL LEDs, and used http://ledcalc.com/#calc to do the resistor calculation for 7 LEDs with numbers extracted from the datasheet, leading to the ~5ohm resistor calculation.
I tried without any, or with a 4.7ohm resistor and I had significant better range results without resistor. Not a surprise, looking at the IR signal with a smartphone camera you can definitively see a brightness difference too, that's really a blaster :)

No burned LED after 48h of testing (sending one of my IR code every 5s). I also tried, for 10min, with regular red LED (http://www.nteinc.com/specs/3000to3099/pdf/nte3019.pdf) which have lower Vf and If requirements, no problems either.

I don't say that this is right, I truly don't have the background to do more than empirical experimentations, but it seemed good enough for me at the time. I did not had any problems since then, both with real TSAL from mouser and probably fake ones from aliexpress.

[Nca78]

@emc2 Ok thank you for your feedback ! I'm doing an IR blaster also, and as it seems to work reliably for you even with the aliexpress versions, I'll include a bypass for the resistors to have the option.

[korttoma]

I ordered some of the MySweMosIRShield PCBs (after som minor modifications) an now while I wait for them to arrive I started looking into creating a sketch. I thought I would start from the example @emc2 provided but I cannot get it to compile and I don't know why.

Seems like it has something to do with the data types used. I tried both the github version and the latest available version via the Library manager of the IRremoteESP8266 Lib but same problem.

Arduino IDE 1.6.11

My Copy/paste coding skills are to no use if I don't have something that works to start from :(

Short and not perfect answer, they changed everything when they updated the library to >2.0.

For a quick way to test your board etc, you can compile the example sketch by reverting to version 1.2.0

Ideally you may want to upgrade your sketch to be compatible with version 2.0 according to this https://github.com/markszabo/IRremoteESP8266/wiki/Upgrading-to-v2.0

I wanted to do it, but completely forgot about it... Will try to have a look at it tonight, but hopefully you can start testing everything using the old library version.

May also ask what minor modifications you did? Always open to suggestions to improve the board.

[emc2]

Actually was not too bad to update.

I pushed the updated example sketch to github and openhardware, compatible with IRremoteESP8266 v2.0 and up.
I did a quick test here, no errors, and the vacuum cleaner already escaped to the bedroom, so good to go!

As for the board, feel free to share any sketch here or on github.

Thanks emc2 for your fast responce. I almost got it working myself but I guess I missed the:

#include <IRutils.h>

Compiles fine for me now also. Now to see if I can change it to my needs.

Hi, great job on the board. Is there schematic available, I would like to put smd leds on the board. It would be nice not to start from scratch. Thanks.

[Pio Wales]

Sorry. Disregard.
