Remote Controller

Remote Controller

1. Types

   • Radio Remote Control
     • RF remote controls are used to control distant objects using a variety of radio signals.
     • Garage Doors, Gates and Burglar Alarms
     • Costs higher and has a very complex circuit.
   • Infrared Remote Control
     • IR remote control uses light, and it requires a line of sight to operate.
     • TV Remotes, Electric Whiteboards and Lights
     • Have a rather lower cost and quite easy to encode.
   • Game Contoller
     • Is an input device to provide input to a video game, typically to control an object or character in a game.
     • PS4, XBox and Nintendo Wii
     • May contain directional pads, multiple buttons, analog sticks, motion detection and touch screens.

2. Electronics

   • L.E.D
     • Light Emitting Diode
     • May use infrared L.E.D that in invisible to the eye
   • Controls/Buttons
     • Uses binary code
     • Binary command gets sent from button to L.E.D device, which sends input to the TV.
   • Microprocessor
     • Also known as CPU
     • Functions as an artificial
     • Recieves instructions from other components.

3. Material

   • Screens and Covers
     • Some remotes come equipped with small screens, while all have a plastic cover that encases the TV remote signal area.
     • Plastics that can be used in clear plastics include ABS, nylon, silicone, styrene and thermoplastic polyurethane.
     • This remote eye typically sits at the top of the remote encased in a plastic.
   • Fillers
     • Fillers are added during the injection molding process and may include glass, carbon, aramid or stainless steel fibers.
     • These provide added strength without extra weight.
   • Remote Case
     • Formed from a molded plastic
     • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
     • Thermally conductive polymers are also used to dissipate heat built up by the remote.
     • The plastic also often requires electromagnetic and radio frequency interference shielding to protect the remote against interference from other wireless devices.
   • Buttons
     • Keypads and buttons are made from any number of thermoplastic elastomers because of their "rubbery" composition.
     • Some of these TPEs include Estane, Arnetell, Santoprene, Pellethane, Dynaflex, Polytrope or Sarlink.

4. Uses

   • Garages and Gates
   • TV
   • Controlling substations, power stations and HVDC-plants.
   • Jammers in the military
   • To take far pictures in photography
   • Video Game Consoles
   • Radio/Speaker
   • Cars
