Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Transceiver - STEMMA JST PH 2mm

This compact Adafruit Infrared Transceiver breakout board efficiently combines transmission and reception of 940nm remote control data in a single, solder-free package. Perfect for projects needing versatile IR communication, this board saves space and simplifies wiring.

Utilize both solder-able breakout pads and the included JST PH 4-pin cable for seamless integration. The board's components include an N-Channel FET driver that effectively pushes 100mA-200mA current pulses through dual-position LEDs, achieving a range of over 10 meters. If using 5V power, expect around 200mA per LED; with 3V, about 100mA per LED.

The board features dual yellow LEDs labeled 'IN' and 'OUT' to indicate active IR LED transmission and data reception, respectively, aiding in hassle-free debugging. The integrated IR sensor specializes in receiving 38KHz modulated signals at 940nm wavelength.

While the board doesn't support proximity sensing or other frequencies, it excels in remote control signal processing, demanding only a microcontroller with pulse-input reading capabilities for decoding usage. Comprehensive connectivity options include STEMMA JST PH cables and a 0.1" header for those who prefer solder connections.
