Infrared

Universal IR (infrared) remote with 6 keys: ignition key, four direction keys, and center button. Although it is intended for something else, you will easily pair this IR remotely with an IR receiver in the Croduino / Arduino project and thus make it respond to your commands.

• Number of buttons: 21
• Battery: CR2025, comes with the remote
• Dimensions: 86 x 40 x 6.5mm

Infra-red (IR) diode emits light in the spectrum that the human eye can’t see. However, such a diode has its purpose. It is used in remote controllers that send information on wavelengths within the infrared spectrum, e.g. to change television programme. So all you need to create your own remote is one of these diodes and correct data which will be sent!

The IR receiver is a device that detects the modulated IR radiation emitted by the remote controls. The IRM-56384 detects IR radiation on a standard frequency of 38kHz and outputs signal to its output pin, which can be read with a microcontroller. Thus, it enables project management via the remote control.
