Hello friend, good day, first of all excellent work maintaining the Lisergio project and greetings from Mexico.

Surfing to the net I found the Lisergio's project, and later this github, I have a couple of doubts (I'm not an expert in electronics, I barely understand positive and negative hehehehe) and I hope you can support me about it.

1.- The Transponder as far as I can see, is designed for a voltage greater than 5V, for my project I require that it can works with 3v with an CR2032 battery, this would be possible???? and what would be the most appropriate circuit ???, I would think that only removing the 78L05 component would be work, although it seems to me that the resistance values ​​would have to be changed. in that case, what are de best value for the resistance?????

2.-I suppose that the BC337 component works as an amplifier for the IR signal, this is correct or what function it has in the transponder circuit.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

I would need to know the specifics to the IR LED you are using in order to better help you. I am using a 1 amp LED. If you were to use the same, the CR2032 battery won’t last very long as I believe most of them are only 225mah batteries. Is there a reason you are not using the power from the RC receiver or the battery on the RC? Would also need to know what Arduino board, or other main board/chip you are using. Depending on the board or chip you are using will make a difference as well.

Thanks for the Quick response, I'm using the IR383 led or I also have the IR333C available, the truth is that I do not need many distances from the transponder to the bridge is not more than 1 meter even 30 cm.

The reason I do not use the car battery is because it only uses 2 AA batteries and I would not like to consume extra power from it in the transponder and that all the power of the batteries is for the car engine.

I have the system planned to use it in Mini-4wd cars

right now for the bridge, I'm using Arduino Nano.

What chip/board are you using in the transponder? Do you know what nominal voltage the chip/transponder needs to operate. I will look up those IR LED and see if I can get some specifics, once I know the whole component design, I will try and get you some information on the circuit layout. It might take me a bit to come up with the design, but I will do my best to help.

Oh i See, Sorry for the Fault jejeje, I'm using the attiny85 for the transponder. the datasheet for the attiny85 is this.

https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/174761/ATMEL/ATTINY85.html

the datasheet it says that the operating voltage goes from 2.7 to 5.5 v

About the IR Leds If it helps you, here are the datasheet.

https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/202420/EVERLIGHT/IR333C.html

I'll appreciate so much your interest and help with this personal project and I look forward to your comments.

blessings and greetings.
