Remote Control Circuit Through RF Without Microcontroller
Remote Control Circuit Through Radio Frequency Without Microcontroller
Description
This is a simple type remote control by using RF communication without microcontroller. In this project a remote has been designed for various home appliances like television, fan, lights, etc. It gives lot of comfort to the user since we can operate it by staying at one place. We can control any of the appliances by using this remote within the range of 400 foots. In this project consist of two sections, transmitter (remote) and receiver section. Whenever we are pressing any key in the remote it generates the corresponding RF signals, and these signals are received by the receiver unit. ASK transmitter and receiver is used as transmitter and receiver. HT12E, HT12D encoders and decoders are used in this electronic circuit. The block digram of the whole circuit is given below.
Appliance Control Block Diagram
Remote Section
In remote section consist of an encoder (HT 12E) and a ASK transmitter. The encoder generates 8 bit address and 4bit data. We can set the address by using the DIP switch connected in A0 to A7 (pin 1 to 8 ) encoder. If we set an address in the remote section, the same address will be required in the receiver section. So always set same address in transmitter and receiver. Whenever we press any key in the remote the encoder generates corresponding 4bit data and send this data with 8bit address by using ASK transmitter. The transmitting frequency is 433MHz. The transmitter output is up to 8mW at 433.92MHz with a range of approximately 400 foot (open area) outdoors. Indoors, the range is approximately 200 foot.
Remote or Transmitter Circuit
Receiver Section
At the receiver section ASK receiver is present. The receiver also operates at 433.92MHz, and has a sensitivity of 3uV. The ASK receiver operates from 4.5 to 5.5 volts-DC, and has both linear and digital outputs. It receives the datas from the transmitter. Then the decoder (HT 12D) decodes the date and it will enable the corresponding output pin (pin 10,11,12,13). Each output pins are connected to separate flip flops. The output of encoder will change the state of the flip flop. So its output goes to set (high) from reset (low) state. This change makes a high signal in the output of the flip flop. This output signal is not capable to drive a relay directly. So we are using current driver, SL100 transistor act as the current driver. The appliance is connected to 230V AC through the relay and the appliance will start. The relay will be re-energized when the same switch is pressed in the remote. This is because we are pressing the same switch in the remote control. The output of the decoder again goes to high so this signal will again change the state of the flip flop. So, the relay gets re-energized and the appliance goes to OFF state.

560E is 560 ohm??
whith which one can i replace the sl 100 tranzistor??bc547 is correct?this circuit is working properly but the relay which is 6 volt mine dont work…but the led flashes..it is wrong the 6volt relay or the bc547 with replace sl100??
what is the lowest input voltage and the lowest output the second diagram gives
hallo
i just want to know about how big both circuits are?
thanks

here what is the use of 4017 ic….
De-Energized, not Re-energized…. that was the only part that got me confused, apart from that, all i can say is that this is exactly what i have been looking for for the past 2 days, in vain… and now that i found this circuit, well. i am so happy that i want to give you a chocolate
in this project only used ASK why not use the other technique
Simple, because it is simple and easily available, low cost and easy to use.
U can also use IR LED as medium. U have to use 555 ic for genrating 38khz. I build this and working fine for so many years. U can also get circuit using IR remote for 230V ac appliances control. Remote used is a philips tv remote. This required microcontroler. Working fine.
can any one help me how to genarate 8bit data
in reciver section and tranmitter section
i made it but not working
please help me
give reply to”hasan08eee@gmail.com”
Two questions, if I may:
What are you using for an antenna (small?)?
A 12 bit encoder = 4,096 combinations. Are aware of a 32 bit encoder?
Thank you for the info!
its awesome it works perfectly thank u…….. and congrats who built it.
the circuit is looking very complex can i see a simple circuit for the development of this as a project
plz give me full data for tranmitier and reciever……..
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add more security for this circuit more than just the dip switch… I’d like to apply this on our house to automate the parking gate so, I want to make it more secured. And also please indicate other alternatives for the IC’s(HT12E and HT12D) included in the circuit if possible.
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks in advance!
how much it cost ?am from kerala
Can somebody hlp me i am frm nigeria the worst country ever i cant even get a 555 timer ic nd i want 2 build an rf remote control circute heeelp!! me pls (umufirdauz67@yahoo.com)
Guy u beta, wake up bcs am a nigerian 2, but i av mor dan enough common 555timer chip dat is every electronics shop. Moreover if u tink 9ja is worst goto iraq, mali, egypt etc.
Good work,…..suitable for doing Mini projects
Hi GP Koruthu
I am too from kerala,
kollam
we made this project success.
Its pretty easy to find all the components in earnakulam
Hey,
I’m trying to implement the circuit for a small exhibition in my college. Could you help me understand the design aspects of the circiut?
Hi Arun,
As i mentioned in previous comment,
its easier to make an 8 bit data, just keep an address using Dip switch as same as trnsmtter and recvr
while switching the 8 bit adress together with data will transmitted
Hi anil,
Its pretty simple to generate 8 bit data, using this circuit…
First of all you have to do with,,….
Use same Dip address for both transmitter and receiver……
And check for the output…
If still nothing happenned you have to do is remove the rf module completely (both trnsmtr and rcvr) .
And connect the Din line of encoder to Dout pin of decoder

Hi Avinash please go through Philips datasheet.
http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/UAA3220TS.pdf
hi friends,
can any one tell me how to get the ask transmiter and receiver. is there any name of that ask transmiter and receiver like a IC have some name
hallo avr avinash
you con get them from ebay
Dear M/s Jojo & Vikas Sharma,
I am not in Delhi. I am in the southern end,Kottayam,in Kerala.Here electronic shops are rare. May be I can find some of these special items in Cochin or so. Any way it’s a hobbey for me after retirement just out of interest.
it was one of the good mini project,which help me in B.E. 6th semester.
thanks for the one who design it…
hello buddy does anyone can told me that i made this but not working may be my receving part is not working and i dont know why can any one tell me how can i give the vt in the ht12d i give it through 2222 transistor does it wright?
and mr.g p u will get these ic in lajpat ray market is u are in delhi
How we set the 8bitaddress.plz help me
how to increase the range of more than 400 foots and also how to increase the MHz frequency. Is any design procedure is for that. pls provide me…
sr..anybody plzz say the circuitdiagram for wii remote whchich is used for video games(tennis) for my project plzz help mee
Hello Koruth,
I think you can get it near your local electronics store.
Can you kindly inform as to where we can get these IC HD12 and the ASK transmitter and receiver.
Ya,its a nice one……
