Create your own control for your TV or LED strips over a short line-of-sight distance with the Gravity: Digital IR Transmitter Module, compatible with Arduino.
As curious people who have always been interested in how things work, many of us will know precisely what infrared can do. IR remote controls or similar tools for televisions are commonplace 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 Gravity Digital IR Transmitter Module, which is designed to transmit IR signals up to 940nm at 38kHz, allowing projects or devices to communicate with each other over a reasonable distance, with impressive signal fidelity and light-speed responsiveness.
The Gravity Digital IR Transmitter Module sends an IR signal over a distance of about 1.3m. While line-of-sight is required, you can typically increase the operating angle by using a matte transparent object in front of the receiver. The Gravity series is compatible with Arduino and ready to enhance your next project.
