Gorillacell Module 073: Infrared Transmitter

Table of Contents

IR Transmitter is a module that emits infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, to transmit signals wirelessly. It is commonly used in remote control systems and wireless data transmission between devices.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one (1) IR Transmitter module. This module contains an Infrared LED that serves as the light transmitter. Unlike ordinary LEDs that emit visible light, the IR LED produces infrared light, which cannot be seen but can be detected by an IR receiver.
