We have used IR transmitter LED’s for

generating IR rays for IR sensors. When we place our finger in front of IR

receiver then falling IR rays interrupts and this change in signals is
compared and sended to microcontroller by operational amplifier IC LM 324
which is used here as comparator.

This input from IR sensor is detected by

the microcontroller and transferred to the computers serial port. The code
running under the microcontroller makes a delay of one second on each
input from IR sensor to prevent false inputs. Data transmission to serial port
is done by using MAX232 serial communication leveler IC this IC is
required for communication to CMOS to TTL data transmission of circuit.
The microcontroller sends the serially the number of interrupted IR sensor
and this sensor number is detected by the VB software, the software is
designed to simulate the button press action on serial port port input.

The 16*2 LCD module is used for calibrating and testing the circuit without
computer. The button press information is shown on LCD.
