DESCRIPTION
This module is ideally suited to adding a slightly different light display or transmission to your project. This module provides a bright IR LED to transmit your data wirelessly. IR LEDs are typically found in devices such as TVs and radios.
IR (Infrared) is in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is invisible to the naked eye. As such testing this module can be troublesome. A nice little trick to help; take a digital camera or smartphone camera and point the camera at the LED while it is lit. You will find most digital cameras show a gentle purple glow from the LED when it is lit.
This is a bare soldered LED and is not current limited. This makes it EXTREMELY likely to burn out if a resistor is not used in with it. We recommend a 220Ω resistor is placed in series with the module.
If you require assistance using the module, please do not hesitate to contact us.
