MOUSE CONTROLLER WITH INFRARED REMOTE Introduction 1.1 Abstract: The objective of our project is to develop a microcontroller based system to control computer mouse with an infrared remote. To accomplish the task we have used a Sony ® TV remote, an Atmega8 microcontroller, a 38 KHz IR receiver with an external circuit. For connecting the system with PC we’ve chosen USB interfacing. The program code is developed in AVR Studio. Our circuit is very simple and easy to understand. We’ve tried to make the device user friendly as much as we can. It’s compatible in almost all PC with operating system Microsoft ® Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. We hope anyone will have fun using our device. 1.2 Purpose and scope: Almost everybody today is used to operating a remote control. From the TV, to the DVD player, up to the air conditioner, there are just a few appliances left without their own remote control. Oddly, this small superfluous but essential device called remote control is not so common in the computer world. By using this device we can control some of the function of our computer like as media player volume up & down, change audio & video etc. 1.3 IR mouse overview: IR mouse is an AVR (automatic voltage regulator) microcontrollers based USB mouse controlled by IR remote. It receives packets from remote, decodes, and (if IR code matching) sends reports to pc via USB. Reports are as in standard USB mouse (hid class device), so there is no need for additional programs/drivers on pc side, everything is done in IR mouse and system recognizes it as standard USB mouse. 1.4 Block Diagram:
