Overview

IR Controller is an open-source printed circuit board by sergeyvfx, from the sergeyvfx/IR-Volume-Control repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 40.1 × 80.1 mm with 12 parts on 29 nets, routed with 77 tracks and 0 vias.

It is built around the CRGCQ0402F10K, MCSLPT4644B1TR and BC-2003-TR, with the IN-S126ESGHIR and MMBT3904LT1G among its other parts. Its parts include 4 resistors, 2 switches, 1 capacitor, 1 IC and 1 diode. It belongs with the PIC boards of this library.

IR Volume Control

Volume control using DigiPot controlled by infrared remote control.

IR Controllable Digipot

This part of the project is a what is actually controlling sound volume. It is a digipot which is controlled by an infrared remote controller (similar to the ones used by TVs).

The design and firmware files are in the IR-Digipot folder.

IR Controller

This is a minimalistic implementation of infrared remote controller. It talks to the IR-Digipot. Can be easily extended with more buttons to consolidate all the remote controllers in the house!

Questions

How big is the IR Controller PCB?

It measures 40.1 × 80.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the IR Controller use?

12 parts, built around the CRGCQ0402F10K, MCSLPT4644B1TR, BC-2003-TR and IN-S126ESGHIR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the IR Controller KiCad files?

From the sergeyvfx/IR-Volume-Control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is IR-Controller/hardware/IR-Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the IR Controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
