Good Starter Kit

I bought these to learn about infrared communication and how devices like infrared remotes send data. The receiver was great in that it was able to record and display the signals to see how they were working and then the LEDs were great to play back the signals to try and control the devices yourself. This is a good starter kit if you want to learn about infrared communication. My only issue is that the distance isn't very good for these things. I can't reliably get the advertised 7-8 meters…

Pros
  • Infrared emitter can be applied to common electronic devices such as office equipment, communication and home decoration.
Cons
  • I will add later

Ideal for short IR sensors! Photodiode

This product has worked great over short distances. I add electronics to my corn board so I can light it up at night. By putting together a circuit using these LEDs, about 555 timers, and some 12 volt LED strips, I could monitor if a player had scored and then flash accordingly. For the emitter I use 5V with 220 ohms. Resistance. The receiver also features a 5V power supply and a 5kΞ© pull-up resistor. This gives me a range of about 7.5 to 8 inches, which is perfect for a 6 inch diameter hole…

Pros
  • in standard 5Ξ¦ plastic package.
Cons
  • unreliable

Replacement Emitter for Stanley Vemco Garage Door Obstacle Sensor Emitter Replacement

My garage door stopped closing because the obstacle sensor receiver didn't detect anything from the original Stanley transmitter on the other side of the garage . After 20 years of 24/7 operation, the original IR LEDs no longer work as well. Almost all garage door obstacle sensors use 930/940nm IR to avoid false activation from sunlight and the 940nm emitters in this kit proved to be an excellent replacement for the original (purple LED in second photo). ). In this block, the cathode (negative)

Pros
  • 5003MD is High Speed and High Sensitivity PIN
Cons
  • Packaging is Ugly
