DIY KIT 39- Laser operated wireless audio transmitter and receiver

This kit is very much similar to our previous projects. Check out the previous projects first:
The kit package comes with 2 sets of DIY kits. One set is for laser-based music transmitter and the other is the receiver and audio amplifier circuit. The transmitter points the receiver and when the transmitter is connected to the audio source, the audio is transmitted to the laser via laser.
The kit has mono audio signal transmitter and receiver.
 The transmitted audio signal definitely has no wired sound quality, there is a little noise, and the sound is not very loud. It is mainly used for soldering practice and STEM projects.
Parameters:
Transmitter operating voltage: 9-12V (12V emission distance furthest)
Receiver Operating voltage: 5~12V (The higher the voltage, the louder the volume)
Input: MIC input or 3.5 audio input (Automatic switching)
Applications:
1. One-way calling (two-way intercom calls need to buy 2 sets),
2. Mobile phone, mp3 audio transmission.
Schematics are given below:
Transmission distance: It is recommended to be around 5-10 meters. Beyond this, the signal is unstable.
Driving Speaker: 0.5W-10W Speaker
Transmitter Module PCB Size: 1.9* 2.5cm
Receiving module PCB size: 1.7 * 3.9cm
Working principle: The basic principle is to convert the fluctuating sound into the red laser, then the laser vibration signal is received at the photodiode receiver of the receiver circuit, and this signal is demodulated to achieve the sound. The transmission distance can reach about 5-10 meters and can be used to manufacture long-distance wireless speakers.
Common problems:
1. Short transmission distance: The normal transmission distance is more than 10 meters. If the distance is shorter, check if the transmission terminal voltage is too low. If the voltage is lower than 9V, check whether the battery power is sufficient or not. Replace the battery with a new one. You need to adjust the transmission and reception angles, they must be in the same line.
2. There is noise: In normal condition, there is low noise. However, if the noise is too loud, check whether the photosensitive receiver is affected by ambient light, try to avoid the ambient light; 3.5 audio input cable must use high quality shielded cable, otherwise noise will be generated due to interference; the transmitter and receiver must be in the same straight line, otherwise the sound is too small and the noise will overlap the sound.
3. Distorted after the sound is overloaded: Please adjust the audio input volume.

How to assemble infrared transmitter for infrared receiver DIY kit

Click here to go to assembly page of infrared receiver.

You will get these components with infrared transmitter kit:

  • 1 x PCB
  • 1 x Earphone Jack female
  • 1 x Infrared LED
  • 1 x 100uF electrolytic capacitor
  • 1 x 4.7uF electrolytic capacitor
  • 1 x S8050 transistor
  • 1 x 5mm LED

  • 1 x 0.01uF ceramic capacitor- Code: 103
  • 1 x 100 Ohm resistor

Stereo jack is not included in this kit. You will need to buy it separately.

These are the steps for assembling infrared transmitter kit.

Step 1: Solder 100 Ohm and 51K Ohm resistors.

This is 51K

Step 2: Solder ceramic capacitor marked as 103.

Step 3: Solder the transistor S8050 as shown on the image below

Step 4: Solder the 5mm RED LED. Be careful with the anode and cathode pins. Insert the right pin in the right hole.

Step 5: Solder the stereo connector as shown below:

Step 6: Solder 4.7uF electrolytic capacitor as shown on the image below.

Be careful with the polarity of the capacitor. Insert the negative (-) side of the capacitor in the hole marked as – and insert the other pin in the hole marked +.

Step 7: Solder 100uF electrolytic capacitor

Step 8: Solder a 6V-9V battery connector to the holes marked as IN+ and IN-. The black wire of battery connector should go to IN- and the red wire should go to IN+.

Step 9: Solder the TRANSPARENT LED- the infrared LED to the spot marked as – and +. The long pin(anode) should go to + hole and short pin(cathode) should go to – hole.

Battery connector and Infrared LED after assembly should look like as shown on the image below:

We have connected a 9V battery connector. You can also connect a 6V battery connector. It works for both.

Match your assembled kit with the shown below.

Use one end of your stereo jack to connect to your audio source, for example, mp3 player or mobile phone and the other end to the transmitter kit.
