It is based on the working of the popular IR sensor Module TSOP1738 which senses 38 kHz Infrared pulses from the IR LED of the transmitter. Range of the circuit is about 5 meters if the transmitter ...

First, I built the circuit on a piece of prototyping board (experimenting PCB). Here’s a photo of my prototype: Because the design is based on the IR sensor module TSOP1838 from Vishay, it inherently ...

Once you have the schematic, you can do the same kind of thing to lay out the PCB using footprints. If you want to play with the actual design, you can load it in your browser and make changes.
