IR Beacon Click Board™

Product Code: MIKROE-1939

The IR wave has a half intensity angle of ±25 degrees. The diodes have high radiant power and intensity with a peak wavelengths of 940nm. The IR Beacon Click Board™ is suitable for high pulse current operation. The mainboard MCU drives the infrared diodes through the mikroBUS MOD pin, providing a carrier signal (which can be modified to match the frequency of the receiver). Either UART or PWM can be used to transmit a signal to a target receiver (specified by the position of the TX SEL jumper is in the middle of the board). The range is up to half a meter. You can increase it by stacking multiple IR Beacon Click Board™s onto a same mikroBUS socket. The board can use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
