IR (Infrared) Receiver Sensor – TSOP38238
Control your robots and gadgets with the IR Receiver Sensor TSOP38238.
Standard light sensors cannot distinguish between sunlight and remotes. However, this TSOP38238 IR Receiver is built for data. It filters out ambient light to find specific pulses. Consequently, you get a clean signal even in bright rooms.
Key Features:
38KHz Carrier Frequency: It features the most common remote frequency. Because of this, it works with Sony, NEC, and RC5 codes.
Internal Filter and Pre-amp: The chip handles all the hard work. Therefore, you receive a simple digital output for your code.
Wide Operating Voltage: It works perfectly from 2.5V up to 5.5V. Furthermore, it is ideal for both 3V and 5V microcontrollers.
Breadboard Friendly Pins: It features a standard 0.1-inch pitch. Simply plug it into your prototype and start coding.
Why should you choose this IR sensor? Are you building a custom media center or a hidden switch? Because of its high sensitivity, it works from across the room. Moreover, it is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and CircuitPython. Furthermore, it uses very little power during operation. Therefore, it is a great choice for battery-powered devices. Simply use the “IRLib” or “IRremote” libraries for a fast setup.
