Grab your TV remote and turn it into a data transmitter—this 38kHz infrared receiver catches those modulated bursts and outputs clean digital pulses to your Arduino, letting you decode commands like power, volume, or channel up/down. Perfect breadboard project with just a 100Ω resistor, 10µF cap, and pull-up for instant remote control hacking.

  • Supply: 2.7–5.5V DC (3.3V/5V tolerant).
  • Output: Digital LOW on signal detection.
  • Pins: VCC, GND, OUT (breadboard spacing).
  • Reception angle: ±45°.
  • Range: 5–15m typical.
  • Burst tolerance: 10+ cycles minimum.

Note: Product size and dimensions may vary; 10K pull-up resistor typically required.
