A compact infrared wireless remote control kit for Arduino projects. The kit includes an ultra-thin 20-key IR remote and a 38 kHz IR receiver module, providing a simple way to add wireless control to robots, interactive displays, and other Arduino-based builds.
The IR receiver module decodes standard 38 kHz modulated signals, which can be processed using the Arduino IRremote library. The remote transmits up to 8 metres and operates on a CR2025 coin cell battery.
Key Features
- 20-Key Remote – Ultra-thin design with directional pad, number keys, and function buttons
- 38 kHz IR Receiver – Standard modulation frequency, compatible with most IR libraries
- Up to 8 m Range – Effective transmission distance (varies with environment)
- 60° Effective Angle – Wide beam for reliable reception
- Low Power – 3–5 µA static current, CR2025 battery included
Specifications
- Transmission Distance: Up to 8 m
- Effective Angle: 60°
- Battery: CR2025 coin cell (160 mAh)
- Static Current: 3–5 µA
- Dynamic Current: 3–5 mA
- Button Lifespan: 20,000 presses
Ideal For
- Arduino remote-controlled robots
- Interactive projects and displays
- Home automation prototyping
- Learning IR communication protocols
Package Contents
- 1× 20-key IR remote control (with CR2025 battery)
- 1× 38 kHz IR receiver module
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 38 kHz IR
- Infrared light that is switched on and off 38,000 times per second, a common carrier frequency used by IR remotes and beam sensors. Matching this frequency matters because the receiver is tuned for it and will ignore much of the steady or random infrared light in the environment.
