Stargate switch v2

Description

This is a more advanced version of the v1 stargate switch.

TX

Instead of just a simple 38 KHz square with a 555, I used an MCU (lpc1343) to create the modulated signal. I also used a proper RC5 code to make it noise resistant. RC5 is well described (see references), and the code does not contain any magic.

RX

Receiver part is, like in v1, a bought IR sensor with a demodulator (SFH5110, TSOP1738, TSOP2438). Its output is 1, and when it detects a 38 KHz signal it pulls output line to GND. Since it delays a bit, I decided to sample it after the end of outputted square/0 signal.

HW non-trivialities

It was non-obvious to me why this did not work on first tries. It was quite a basic problem - the IR sensor needed 5V powering. Of course this then means the GND for module and MCU should be shared. And that the MCU pin must be 5V tollerant.

To limit the IR LED angle, I used a heatshrink to make a narrow beam. Sensitivity (LED radiance) can be changed with the trimmer pot, which is a current limiter to LED.

I've had lots of problems related to sensor powering. Some of which I didn't quite understand (better power supply resulted in more noisy sensing?). In the end I noticed a resistor in TSOP2438 datasheet (there was none in other datasheets). The R5 and C1 are VERY important here. C1 could probably be lower, the value remains from before-R5 times.

Silly module for testing: 5v, gnd, pwm input, sensor output.
