Hi all,
I'm designing a product which requires an IR remote control with just two
functions: "on" and "off". I figured I could simply choose an IR kit (i.e.
handset + receiver/decoder) from a local supplier of electronics kits, but
to my amazement, I can't find any such kits. Neither Farnell nor Conrad has
anything matching my specifications.
Conrad does have 2-channel 433MHz RF remote controls, but I can't use these,
as product safety requires that the user must always have the product in
sight when operating it.
Now I could of course design a remote control circuit myself, but that would
easily double my amount of work, involving programming controllers, finding
a suitable handset casing with a battery compartment etcetera.
Also, the remote control kit would have to be commercially available for a
few years to come at least, so I'm not looking for converted toy car
controls or the likes.
Could anyone point me to a solution? Or is there perhaps a company out
there, producing remote controls upon specification? And if it turns out to
be "roll-your-own" after all, does anyone know of a suitable PIC-based
solution (as I can only program PIC controllers at the moment)? That would
at least save me the trouble of writing the software.
How about

and their

Several other options available there.
