Description
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. IR Beacon click 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 clicks onto a same mikroBUS™ socket. The board can use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
Type | Optical |
Applications | Remote controls. Also, it’s ideal for robot competitions that require two robots to communicate with each other (pair with IR click). |
On-board modules | Nine VSMB2948SL diodes |
Key Features | 0.5 m range (can be increased by stacking multiple IR Beacon clicks), TX (UART), PWM, MOD |
Key Benefits | High radiant power and intensity (peak wavelength 940nm), Suitable for high pulse current operation |
Interface | GPIO,PWM,UART |
Input Voltage | 3.3V or 5V |
Compatibility | mikroBUS |
Click board size | L (57.15 x 25.4 mm) |
IR Beacon click is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with an array of nine high speed infrared emitting diodes. It functions as a beacon device, transmitting infrared rays in a wide angle, which can be detected by nearby infrared receivers (such as the one on IR click).
