IR Remote Control Module for Arduino, Raspberry Pi & Microcontrollers | Infrared Receiver

The IR Remote Control Module for Arduino, Raspberry Pi & Microcontrollers | Infrared Receiver receives infrared signals from standard TV and appliance remotes. It decodes NEC, Sony SIRC, RC5, and RC6 protocols for wireless control of microcontroller projects.

Key Features

• Receives 38kHz IR signals from standard remotes
• Decodes NEC protocol (and others) automatically
• Digital output for easy microcontroller interfacing
• Long reception range up to 15 meters
• Low power consumption for always-on applications
• Built-in demodulator and AGC circuit
• Compact sensor with easy mounting

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Remote-controlled robots and vehicles
• Wireless switching and home automation
• Interactive displays with remote navigation
• TV-based control for Arduino projects
• Universal remote projects
• Distance-limited wireless communication

Important Notes

• Ambient IR (sunlight, halogen) can interfere – use indoors or shield
• Use IRremote library by shirriff/z3t0 for Arduino
• Most TV remotes use NEC protocol – easily decoded
• Each remote button has unique code – record and map in software
• IR LED required on transmitter side; this module is receiver only
