Mini Infrared Distance Unit

Description

IR is an pair of infrared photoelectric. Also from M5Go Kit, Contains 1x infrared emitter and 1x receiver.

IR remote control is widely used in consumer electronics,it can be used to operate devices such as a television set, DVD player, or other home appliance, from a short distance. Since this unit comes with emitter and receiver, you can practice not only onIR encode but also on IR decode.

Product Features

• 1x infrared emitter
• 1x infrared receiver
• Distance range: < 5m
• Software Development Platform: Arduino, UIFlow(Blockly,Python)
• Two Lego-compatible holes

Kit includes

• 1x IR Unit
• 1x Grove Cable
