Given a FEH Proteus Microcontroller and Vishay TSOP2240 IR Receiver, the team created a functional IR detector, displaying 25, 40, 65, 80, 110 Hz frequency. The code was written in C++, using the Qt Creator IDE.
The IR Receiver detects the rate at which the digital signal (of the IR) is transmitted from a nearby beacon, calculates the frequency and prints it, to within 3 Hz, on its LCD Screen. If no IR radiation is emitted to the receiver, the Screen displays 0 Hz.
