Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this IR receiver module?

The module operates on a DC supply voltage from 3.3V to 5V, making it directly compatible with both 3.3V logic systems (like Raspberry Pi) and standard 5V Arduino boards without requiring a logic level shifter.

What type of infrared signals can this Grove module receive?

It is designed to receive modulated infrared signals at 38kHz, which is the standard frequency used by most consumer remote controls. Its built-in demodulator filters out this specific frequency for reliable, noise-resistant communication.

How do I connect this module to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Connect it using a Grove cable to a digital input pin on a Grove base shield attached to your microcontroller. The module outputs a demodulated digital signal, which can be read by libraries such as IRremote for Arduino to decode commands from remotes.

What is the maximum reliable reception distance?

Under typical line-of-sight conditions, the module can reliably receive signals up to a distance of 10 meters. Performance beyond this range is not guaranteed and can be affected by ambient light and obstacles.
