About this product
The VS1838B is a 3-pin infrared receiver with a built-in filter tuned to 38 kHz, commonly used to receive signals from TV and other IR remote controls. It outputs the demodulated raw IR signal without decoding, so the protocol must be decoded by the microcontroller. It works with boards such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
