I am trying to drive 3 ir leds from an ic using the following schematic :


This seemed to work for a while but at my receiver i am getting a strange offset value as if the transistor cant turn the led's truly off at any time. Any ideas ?

I tried with another trasmitter and the receiver works fine
 

Re: Ir transmitter help!

it mite help to have a 1k resistor in the base cct of the transistor
