Infrared Transmitting (IR) Module for 5v Microcontrollers
This tiny unit allows users to connect to any microcontroller that operates at 5v logic level. Using an IR transmitter module you can send signals, commands or queries from this module. Commonly used for tv remote control from a distance of 5 feet or more. For robotic usage you need the IR receiver on the other end.
Holding the board with the pins facing towards you, the left labelled – is for ground, the middle pin is for 5v power supply and the right most pin labelled S is for digital pin 11.
