Reliable IR Reception
I've tested this against several TV remotes and it decodes signals perfectly. The library support for popular microcontrollers makes integration a breeze. Highly recommended for DIY electronics.

Compact and Efficient
The small form factor fits easily into tight spaces on my custom PCB. Power consumption is low, which is great for battery-operated projects. No issues with interference so far.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. I used it to build a custom remote control for my robot car, and the response time is incredibly fast. The 38kHz frequency filters out ambient light noise effectively.

Great value for education
Bought a pack for my son's science club. They are easy to wire up and durable enough for kids handling them. One unit had a slightly loose pin, but overall excellent quality for the price.

Good sensitivity
Works well within the stated range. I noticed the range drops slightly if there is direct sunlight hitting the sensor, but that is expected for IR technology. Overall very satisfied.
Q: How many pins does this module have?
A: The module features a standard 3-pin interface: VCC (Power), GND (Ground), and OUT (Signal Output).
Q: Can this module work with a 3.3V logic level microcontroller?
A: Yes, this module operates comfortably within the 3.3V to 5V range, making it fully compatible with 3.3V logic systems like the ESP32 or Raspberry Pi.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?
A: It can be used outdoors, but direct sunlight contains high levels of infrared which may interfere with the signal. We recommend shielding the sensor from direct sun for optimal performance.
Q: What is the maximum angle of reception?
A: The sensor has a receiving angle of approximately ±45 degrees. For best results, ensure the transmitter is pointed somewhat directly at the receiver.
Q: Does this come with a library for Arduino?
A: While the hardware itself does not include software, it is fully compatible with the standard IRremote library available in the Arduino Library Manager.
