Pi IR Receiver with Remote (Nwazet MKNWZ04) NWZ-0005

Remote control your Raspberry Pi projects the easy way with our IR receiver and its matching remote. Both work great with LIRC, for which a configuration file is provided. A great value when purchased together. With the Nwazet/ModMiPi Pi IR Receiver with Remote you can control your Raspberry Pi projects from the comfort of your easy chair. The receiver plugs right into your Pi and uses the LIRC protocol (configuration file under the "how to assemble" tab) to work with most Linux distributions. The back of the receiver also features .1" pin header spacing for prototyping.

This little board plugs right into the Raspberry Pi's GPIO connector and decodes infrared signals sent to it from just about any generic IR remote control. This IR receiver is tuned for a 38kHz carrier frequency but it will accept IR frequencies slightly above or below that at the cost of a reduced range. The IR stream is fed to the Raspberry Pi on GPIO #18, which is the default pin used by the Raspberry Pi's LIRC GPIO driver.
