1. Introduction
The Infrared Emitter is used to transmit infrared signals through an infrared LED, while there is
an
Infrared receiver
to get the signals on the other side. An infrared LED is like any other LED,
with its color centered around 940nm. We can not only use the emitter to transmit data or
commands, but also to emulate remotes to control your home appliance using an Arduino. The
Infrared Emitter can transmit signals reliable up to 10 meters. Beyond 10 meters, the receiver may
not get the signals.
