Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The receivers work flawlessly with an ar arduino uno. Easy connect to arduino uno, captured tv remote signals with ease.

Only two pins are needed to use the ir emitter. The morse code digital output pin feeds the (+) side of the ir emitter. It is possible to use an arduino timer to generate a 38khz, 50% duty cycle squarewave & interrupt on one digital pin.



Cons

All of the three transmitters are faulty. Even the indicator led on them is not blinking.

Quality


The receivers work flawlessly with an arduino uno, and i was able to record ir commands from a remote in a matter of minutes.


I put a transistor in front of them, and they are working well now, with the caveat that they only have about 4 ft of range in ...  Read More


The receivers are also 3 pin: vcc, gnd, sig - the sig output is active low.


The transmitters are standard ir emitting led's - there is no internal/external oscillator on the transmitters.

Shipping


I ordered these 38k ir tx/rx from gikfun and when they arrived they didn't work.


However, i contacted the seller about my my broken ones and they sent replacements within days.


The immediately contacted me by email and asked for my mailing address.

    The transmitters are standard ir emitting leds there is no internalexternal oscillator on the transmitters


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The other interesting thing about the transmitters are the 3 pins vcc gnd sig but in reality only 2 pins are necessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is a red led on the transmitter for a visual indication


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The receivers are also 3 pin vcc gnd sig the sig output is active low


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Again a red led is available for visual indication


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The morse code pulses are much wider than normal ir clock pulses


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The ir receiver device contains an integrated circuit built internal to it that filters decodes the clock envelope


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also contains an automatic gain control agc circuit that gets saturated if the clock envelope is too long
