Outline

Microduino-IR-Transmitter can emit infrared signal through LED and then receive signal with Infrared Receiver. Like a remote controller, the infrared transmitter can also control home appliances such as TV, air conditioner, water heater and refrigerator. Its maximum transmission distance is 10m.

Specification

• Electrical specification
  • Operation voltage: 3.3V~5V

Development

Equipment

Preparation

Setup 1：Connect the IR transmitter's interface with the Hub's D6 digital port.

• Setup 2：Connect the core, Hub and IR transmitter to a computer with a USB cable.

Debugging

• Open " IRsendDemo " program in the libraries.

• Select the right board and COM port, compile and download. You can refer to AVR Core：Getting started

• include <IRremote.h> Use infrared library function
• IRsend irsend; Define infrared receiving object
• irsend.sendSony(0xa90, 12); Send infrared code
• You can open the serial monitor. Input any values at the console and you'll see the LED on the IR-transmitter blinks once, meaning the infrared signal has been sent.
