| The transmitter to the TV uses a circuit that incorporates a 555 timer chip. The signal from the microcontroller is sent to the 555 timer reset input. This controls the output of a 40 kHz signal to an infrared LED. It was found that the existing timer outputs a signal with a frequency of 27kHz -- this is not sufficient for controlling a television. A new, improved, circuit will have to be developed. | The transmitter to the TV uses a circuit that incorporates a 555 timer chip.
