Infrared LED Transmitter Module

As curious people who have always been interested in how things work, many of us will know precisely what infrared can do, with many of us operating an IR remote control or similar tool for televisions and other consumer goods at some point in our lives. And while wireless IR Communications don’t often get the recognition they deserve, they are certainly a fantastic tool to have in your Maker’s toolkit. This is why we love tiny but effective Modules like this KY-005 IR LED Transmitter Module, which is designed to transmit 940nm IR signals at 38kHz, allowing projects or devices to communicate with each other over a reasonable distance, with impressive signal fidelity and light-speed responsiveness.
