yes.....that correct...the sender is worked but no answer from the receiver
Are you using the exact opamp that is called for in the article that you linked to earlier?

What procedure are you using to set the potentiometer?

yes i use the LM358 op-amp........
what you mean by"procedure are you using to set the potentiometer?"????

oh i understand.....i turn the potentiometer untill the LED in the output is deinergized...

ok i set the potentiometer...thats what you want??
This section in the article on the circuit tells you:
You will have to adjust the variable resistor (POT.) R8 so the the voltage at the positive input of the Op-Amp (pin No. 5) would be somewhere near 1.6 Volt. if you understand the functioning of Op-Amps, you will notice that the output will go High when the volt at the cathode of D1 drops under 1.6. So the output will be High when IR light is detected, which is the purpose of the receiver.

Can you now block and unblock the sensor and see the visible red led turn on and off indicating that the receiver is working?

the reciever isn't working......
and the red led doesnt indicate
....
may the error from the bread board...may it make losses in the circuit?????also i am using that boared for alot off other circuits and it work well

OK. Let's try an experiment.

Block or unpower the IRLED being used as the transmitter. Next adjust the Potentiometer and see if you can find a setting of the potentiometer that results in the visible LED going from on to off or off to on.

So that tells me that you should be able to set the pot slightly below 1.26V you should be able to block and then unblock the sensor and see the red LED change.

:D:D:Dyes man.....know........it work well.........the output is 3.6V.........its good...........

thanks alooot man.....realy i am happy.....
thanks hgmjr

I woudl remind you that the circuit as it is designed is very sensitive to ambient IR light from regular light fixtures. You will need to read the rest of the information at ikalogic.com to learn how to change the circuit slightly to make it more immune to the ambient light conditions.

ok...i will use it in dark ambient......and i will read that info....
again thanks for your replays and time....
