Grove - IR receiver (infrared) TSOP382

Grove - IR receiver (infrared)

The infrared receiver is based on TSOP382 and is used to receive infrared signals and also for remote control detection.

There is an IR detector on the infrared receiver, which detects the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter. The IR detector has a demodulator that searches for modulated infrared light at 38 kHz. The infrared receiver can receive signals within a distance of up to 10 meters (depending on the power of the IR transmitter). At more than 10 meters, the receiver may not receive the signals. In this case, we recommend using the Grove infrared receiver and the Grove infrared transmitter together. 

Features

• Excellent immunity to ambient light: The devices in the TSOP384 series are optimized to suppress almost all interference pulses from, for example, energy-saving lamps or compact fluorescent lamps.
• Good signal reception: It can receive signals up to a distance of 10 meters.
• Grove unit interface: The product ensures "plug and play" and can be used in a variety of applications.

Application

• Infrared remote controls with high power requirements
• Outdoor transmission systems
• Optical counters and card readers

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. We offer various Grove Shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers .
