Description of Gikfun Digital 38kHz IR Receiver Transmitter Sensor Module Kit for Arduino (Pack of 3 Sets) EK8477

Note: The white smudge is not corrosion damage, it's flux, can wipe it off with a rag, does not affect the use of the module. This ir transmitter sensor module is directly launched by a single tube, it requires waveform modulation through the program. It is suitable for infrared communication, infrared remote control, apply to a variety of platforms including Arduino/51/AVR/ARM. With signal indicating LED, easy to observe and debug. Pin Definitions: (1) Output (2) Vcc (3) GND

Works great with 3.3V ESP8266

Both receiver and transmitter worked fine with my 3.3V ESP8266 NodeMCU board. in my case) contacts. Uses the IRRemoteESP8266 library. The transmitter isn't very wide (can't bounce off the ceiling like my remote), but the range is at least 5-10 feet. didn't try anymore.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works great with 3.3V ESP8266

Both receiver and transmitter worked fine with my ESP8266 3.3 NodeMCU board Q. I just connect the VCC, GND and DATA pins directly to the ESP 3.3V, GND and D5 pins (in my case). Uses the IRRemoteESP8266 library. The transmitter isn't very wide (can't bounce off the ceiling like my remote) but I haven't tried further than 5-10 feet.

Pros
  • Note: The white spot is not corrosion damage, it is flux, it can be wiped off with a rag, does not affect the use of the module
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Gikfun cares about its customers

I ordered these 38k IR Tx/Rx from Gikfun and when they arrived they didn't work. So I emailed them to let them know they have a manufacturing issue soldering the LED. They contacted me immediately via email and asked for my mailing address. A new order was shipped the next day. The quality was much better. You didn't waste any time trying to solve the problem. They are a great company to work with.

Pros
  • With LED signal indicator, easy to observe and debug.
Cons
  • Some errors

Works well in audio and video accessories

for 38KHz IR remote controls. The emitters are standard IR emitting LEDs - there is no internal/external oscillator on the emitters. Another cool thing about transmitters is that they have 3 pins: VCC, GND, SIG, but actually only 2 pins are needed. The transmitter has a red LED for visual display. The receivers are also 3-pin: VCC, GND, SIG - the SIG output is active low. A red LED is also available here for visual display. They're primarily used for IR remote control, but I've used them to…

Pros
  • It is suitable for infrared communication, infrared remote control, applicable to various platforms including Arduino / 51 / AVR / ARM
Cons
  • No automatic modules
