The idea behind this is sending IR signals at different frequencies to a receiver, which is connected to an Arduino.
Using different resistor values will allow different frequencies to be created. I'll use a different capacitor for much higher frequencies at the actual project.
Also, the switches will be SPDT momentary switches, a common ground will turn on the 555 so that power is only consumed when a button is pressed.
Please share your thoughts, ideas and tips with me, I taught electronics myself and am still new to this.
Have a great day!
