If you need to read infrared signals from remote controls with variable carrier frequencies \u2013 particularly when the exact frequency is unknown \u2013 Adafruit\u2019s TSMP96000 \u201cCode Learning\u201d infrared receiver is the ideal solution. This module can detect infrared signals with frequencies between 20 and 60 kHz, allowing you to determine the carrier frequency for further analysis.<\/strong> In RF terms, this is equivalent to a UWB antenna. It is particularly useful for \u2018code learning\u2019 applications, enabling your device to be compatible with any infrared remote control.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s simple to use:<\/strong> connect the V+ and ground pins to a 3\u20135V DC power supply, point an infrared remote control with a frequency between 20 and 60 kHz at the sensor, and press a few buttons. The modulated IR signal, including the carrier, is transmitted to the microcontroller via the signal pin, which must then decode it. The board features a green LED indicating correct power supply and a red LED that flashes when it detects infrared signals.<\/p>\n This Infrared Receiver is ideal for advanced IR signal reception projects. However, as it does not provide a demodulated output, it is not compatible with most standard IR decoding firmware<\/strong>; you must therefore ensure that your code is specifically designed for \u2018code learning\u2019 applications. The board features mounting holes and a 3-pin STEMMA JST PH connector with a 2 mm pitch. For easy installation in enclosures and devices, you can purchase a 2 mm STEMMA JST PH cable with pin connectors or crocodile clips (not included with this product but available separately) to connect the board without soldering.<\/p>\n Each board is supplied fully assembled and tested, but without a cable included. No soldering is required, although a STEMMA JST PH 3-pin cable with a 2 mm pitch<\/a> is needed for connection. If you prefer to solder, a 0.1\u2033 pitch header is available for power, ground and signal connections.<\/p>\n Technical Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Product dimensions: 25.4\u00d717.7\u00d77.1 mm Additional resources:<\/strong>
