IR Infrared 38KHz Digital Receiver Sensor Module

IR is widely used in remote control. With this IR receiver, Arduino project is able to receive command from any IR remoter controller if you have the right decoder. Well, it will be also easy to make your own IR controller using IR transmitter.

Features:

• Based on the 38KHz IR Receiver Sensor
• Can be used for remote control
• Can be compatible with Digital 38KHz IR Transmitter Sensor
• Apply to a variety of platforms including Arduino/51/AVR/ARM

Specifications:

• Power Supply : 5V DC
• Current: 3 - 5mA
• Interface : Digital
• Modulated Frequency : 38Khz Carrier IR code
• Transmission distance: 1~8m (Depends on transmit terminal)
• Transmission Angle : 60 Degree
• Pin Definitions : (1) Output (2) Vcc (3) GND
• Board size: 25 x 21mm

Connect IR Receiver Module to Arduino

#include <IRremote.h>

int RECV_PIN = 3;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);

decode_results results;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}

void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
     irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
  }
}
