Track IR powered by Wireless headset

[TrevorMcNeill]

Got a cheap wireless headset and wanted to run my track IR off of it but wanted it to still be removable so I created this.

 

 

Uses a boost converter to step up the 4v to 5.4~(wasn't bright enough otherwise) needed two resistors as it created a significant whine when on. On this headset it doesnt supply power unless the headset is on so no worry of draining the battery if you forget to unplug it. Hope this helps someone be cable free!
