MC4.0 IR Sensor
The IR Sensor works as a flexible module for detecting infrared signals. It fits with platforms like Arduino and MCLab. This module uses both an infrared transmitter and a receiver that operate at 940nm to enable smooth communication and detection using infrared.
It connects to microcontroller systems using the HY2.0-4P interface. This makes it simple to use for tasks like controlling devices , detecting objects, or allowing gadgets to talk to each other. Its dependable short-range transmission makes it a great choice to use in consumer electronics or home devices.
The IR module lets you send and receive modulated infrared signals by supporting infrared encoding and decoding. It has a range that reaches up to 5 meters, which makes it useful to meet different project needs.
The IR Sensor weighs just 4 grams and has dimensions of 32 x 24 x 8mm. Its small size and light weight make it a good fit to use in projects where space is tight. Whether you’re an educator, hobbyist, or professional, the IR Sensor gives a dependable way to add infrared communication and detection to your electronic designs.
