Introduction

IR Transmitter Module is designed for IR communication which is widely used for operating the television device from a short line-of-sight distance. The remote control is usually contracted to remote.
Since infrared (IR) remote controls use light, they require line of sight to operate the destination device. The signal can, however, be reflected by mirrors, just like any other light sources.
If operation is required where no line of sight is possible, for instance when controlling equipment in another room or installed in a cabinet, many brands of IR extenders are available for this on the market. Most of these have an IR receiver, picking up the IR signal and relaying it via radio waves to the remote part, which has an IR transmitter mimicking the original IR control.
Infrared receivers also tend to have a more or less limited operating angle, which mainly depends on the optical characteristics of the phototransistor. However, it’s easy to increase the operating angle using a matte transparent object in front of the receiver.

Specification

  • Power Supply: 3-5V
  • Infrared Center Frequency: 850nm-940nm
  • Infrared Emission Angle: about 20degree
  • Infrared Emission Distance: about 1.3m (5V 38Khz)
  • Mounting Hole: inner diameter is 3.2mm, spacing is 15mm

Connection

 

Sample Code 1

int led = 3;
void setup() {                
   pinMode(led, OUTPUT);     
}
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(led, HIGH);  
  delay(1000);               
  digitalWrite(led, LOW);   
  delay(1000); 
}


In the darkness of the environment, you are going to see blinking blue light on phone's screen when using camera to shoot the infrared LED.
Upload well the above code to the board, the led on the sensor will blink red light.
In the following, let’s move on to an interactive example between IR receiver and IR transmitter module.


 

Infrared Remote/Communication:

Hardware List

  • UNO R3 x2
  • Digital IR Receiver x1
  • IR Transmitter Module x1

Get Arduino library Arduino-IRremote and install it


Note: here if you have no two main boards, you can replace it with the breadboard for connection, may be more easier and convenient.

For IR Transmitter:
Notice: Arduino-IRremote only supports D3 as transmitter.

Emitter


For IR Receiver:
connect it to D11 port.
Receiver


Upload code 2 to the UNO connected with IR Transmitter:

 #include 
  IRsend irsend;
 void setup()
 {}
 void loop() {
  irsend.sendRC5(0x0, 8); //send 0x0 code (8 bits)
     delay(200);
  irsend.sendRC5(0x1, 8); 
     delay(200); }



Upload code 3 to the UNO connected with IR Receiver:

#include 
 const int RECV_PIN = 11;
 const int LED_PIN = 13;
 IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
 decode_results results;
 void setup()
 {Serial.begin(9600);
   irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
 }
  void loop() 
 {if (irrecv.decode(&results)) 
   { if ( results.bits > 0 )
     {
       int state;
       if ( 0x1 == results.value )	
       {		
         state = HIGH;
       }
       else
       {
       	state = LOW;
       }
 		digitalWrite( LED_PIN, state );			
     }
  irrecv.resume();        // prepare to receive the next value
   }}


 

Test Result

When IR Receiver module receives the infrared signal from IR Transmitter, D1 led on the IR Receiver module will blink.Shown as below figure.
