For classic 38KHz infrared remote signal reading, a STEMMA IR Receiver is available. If the task involves reading infrared signals from remotes with varied carrier signals, especially when frequencies are unknown, the Adafruit TSMP96000 "Code Learning" Infrared IR Receiver Breakout excels. Able to detect IR signals ranging from 20 to 60KHz, it streams the carrier signal for in-depth analysis.
In code learning scenarios, your device can be programmed to associate with any IR remote control effortlessly. To utilize, connect V+ and ground to a 3~5VDC power source, aim a 20~60KHz IR remote at the sensors, and engage the buttons. The modulated IR signal, along with its carrier, exits via the Signal pin into a microcontroller for decoding.
User-friendly features include a green 'power good' LED and a red 'signal' LED which blinks during the reading of IR signals. Ideal for advanced IR remote reception, the non-demodulated output necessitates specific code for "code learning". It's supplied with mounting holes and a cable, simplifying enclosure and device attachment.
Connectivity is seamless with a 2mm pitch STEMMA JST PH cable using headers or alligator clips, enabling solder-free wiring. While each STEMMA board is pre-assembled and tested, a cable is not included. A 0.1" spaced header is available for enthusiasts who prefer soldering power, ground, and signal connections.
