Abstract : Car jack is one of the important tools that must always be in the car. This is to salvage unforeseen situations which may be as a result of flat car tyres or need to examine car underneath for either changes, examination or repairs. However, jacking a car up using manual / screw jacks requires enough energy and technicalities to achieve. These challenges thereby prompted us (the authors) towards writing this paper on design and construction of a remote control motor jack using an Infra-red automated transmission. The system was designed with dc motors actuators to control the hydraulic jack up and down using an infra-red transmitter signals which are modulated beam capable of transmitting two coded frequencies. The receiver circuit would be able to receive the transmitted infra-red beam and be able to process and decode the two control signals for the jack movement and direction. The control mechanism consisting of the dc motor and the link mechanism are arranged in such a way that it will allow smooth control of the fabricated hydraulic jack capable of lifting loads placed on it. The control program / code for the circuit is written in Assembly language using MPASM compiler which then downloaded the code to the PIC16F84A microcontroller.
