The KY-005 module is designed to transmit infrared signals. Infrared (IR) communication is commonly used for remote controls (like those used for TVs) and various other applications.
The KY-005 module is designed to transmit infrared signals. Infrared (IR) communication is commonly used for remote controls (like those used for TVs) and various other applications.
Components:
The module typically consists of an infrared LED (Light Emitting Diode) that emits infrared light when powered.
Working Principle:
When the module is powered, the infrared LED emits modulated infrared light signals. These signals can be used for communication between devices that support infrared communication.
Pin Configuration:
The module usually has three pins:
VCC: Power supply pin (Connect to a power source with the appropriate voltage).
GND: Ground pin (Connect to the ground of the power source).
Signal: Signal pin (Connect to a microcontroller or other devices to control the module).
Applications:
Infrared transmitter modules are commonly used in projects involving remote control systems, infrared communication, and other applications where wireless data transmission using infrared signals is required.
Compatibility:
The module can be used with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other embedded systems.
