IR Infrared Receiver Sensor Module KY-022

The KY-022 IR Infrared Receiver Sensor Module is a versatile component designed for decoding signals from most IR remote controls. It uses the reliable VS1838B IR receiver chip, tuned to detect 38kHz modulated infrared signals. These signals allow remote commands to be encoded with different protocols, preventing interference when multiple devices operate nearby. The module can also act as a simple IR locator, detecting object movement between the IR LED and the receiver, making it useful for robotics and automation projects.
