The Crowtail- IR Receiver module uses the HS0038B which is a miniaturized receiver for infrared remote control systems and it is the standard IR remote control receiver series, supporting all major transmission codes. The IR detector has a demodulator inside that looks for modulated IR at 38 KHz. The Infrared Receiver can receive signals well within 10 meters. If more than 10 meters, the receiver may not get the signals. We often use the two Crowtail-the Infrared Receiver and the Crowtail- Infrared Emitter to work together.
