This blog post is concerned with how we got the MCU in the Batteryless Energy Harvesting Remote Control to go into a Low Leakage Mode. It is also concerned with the Low Leakage Wake Up Unit (LLWU) and how this can be used to wake up the remote control…

The Batteryless Energy Harvesting Remote Control can be taught Infra-red codes and then repeat them. This post explains the way in which this was achieved.

Learning Infrared codes

The circuit uses an Infra-red demodulator. The commands from an existing…

This post is concerned with the techniques used to harvest and regulate energy for the Energy Harvesting Remote Control.

Sources of Energy Harvested:

The main source of energy harvested in the remote control is solar power. The idea here was that you could…
