The ground symbol at the bottom of the schematic represents the negative side of the battery.

So you only connect one side of the battery?

It’s a fun electronics project and it works, but it does have very limited range. If you can afford it I recommend the wireless IR repeater from monoprice for $28 or the wired IR repeater for $13. I now have the wireless repeater and it works very well for me.

I have replaced this with an inexpensive IR transmitter from monoprice.com. Works great and was only $25. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10105&cs_id=1010503&p_id=7973&seq=1&format=2

Great….. i tried this to but it didn’t work for me, may be the use of Infrared (IR) Receiver Module be a problem instead of Infrared Phototransistor.. it would have been great if had made a video tutorial on it…

Great installation… You have tried to use IR Transmitters for the the functioning of remotes from distant location.
