Essential for electronics kits
Bought this for an educational robotics kit. Students found it easy to integrate. It handles multiple protocols without any hiccups.

Solid performance
Works as advertised. I tested it against several TV remotes and it decoded all of them correctly. Voltage tolerance is flexible which is a plus.

Reliable communication
Great for IR communication between two microcontrollers. No interference issues so far. The LED indicator is very helpful for debugging signals.

Beginner friendly
As someone new to sensors, this was very easy to set up. Plenty of online tutorials exist for this specific 38kHz module. Highly recommended.

Perfect for my robot project
This sensor module worked flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The 38kHz frequency is standard and easy to decode using common libraries. Build quality feels solid.

Good range, clear instructions
I used this to build a custom remote control for my smart home setup. The range is decent indoors. Only wish the jumper wires were a bit longer.
Q: Does it come with example code for Raspberry Pi?
A: The package includes a link to our GitHub repository which contains Python examples for Raspberry Pi and C++ examples for Arduino.
Q: What is the maximum data rate for IR communication?
A: While dependent on the specific protocol, typical IR communication using this module ranges from 1kbps to 4kbps, sufficient for command and control data.
Q: Can I use this to clone my TV remote?
A: Absolutely. Since it supports standard 38kHz carrier frequencies and protocols like NEC, you can capture and replicate most consumer IR remote signals.
Q: Is the output active high or active low?
A: The output pin is typically active low, meaning it pulls to ground when an IR signal is detected. Please refer to the datasheet in the download section for timing diagrams.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V logic levels?
A: Yes, the module operates comfortably within the 3.3V to 5V DC range, making it safe for both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
