Our take on the Gravity: Digital IR Transmitter Module

The DFRobot Gravity Digital IR Transmitter Module is a small infrared LED board that sends IR signals, meant to be paired with a matching IR receiver module for short-range line-of-sight communication. It uses the Gravity 3-pin connector, so it plugs into DFRobot I/O expansion shields and most microcontrollers with a simple digital pin. It is a building block for remote-control emulation, simple robot-to-robot links and light-trigger projects, not a standalone remote. Compared with bare IR LEDs, it saves wiring and driver circuitry, but it is a transmitter only and needs the receiver and your own code to be useful.

Pros
  • Gravity 3-pin connector plugs into DFRobot shields and most boards
  • Transmitter-only design keeps the module small and simple
  • Works with a matching IR receiver for a complete link
  • Well suited to learning how IR communication works
Cons
  • Needs a separate IR receiver module to do anything
  • Line-of-sight only; walls and corners block the signal
  • No onboard encoding or protocol; you write the timing code
  • Range and reliability depend on the paired receiver and alignment

About the Gravity: Digital IR Transmitter Module

The Gravity Digital IR Transmitter Module sends infrared signals for wireless IR communication. It is designed to be paired with an IR receiver module.

The module uses an infrared LED and supporting circuitry. A signal sent to the LED is converted into a beam of invisible infrared light, which the receiving device detects and converts back into an electrical signal.

Like all IR technology, it needs a clear line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. It cannot be used around corners or through walls or ceilings.

Questions and answers

Do I need the receiver too?
Yes. This module only transmits. Pair it with the DFRobot Gravity Digital IR Receiver Module to complete a link.
Can it replace a TV remote?
It can send IR bursts, but you must generate the correct protocol timing in your code. It does not learn or store remote codes by itself.
What cable does it use?
It uses the Gravity 3-pin connector, which carries signal, power and ground to DFRobot shields and compatible boards.
How far does it reach?
Range depends on the paired receiver, alignment and ambient light. Expect short line-of-sight distances rather than room-to-room coverage.
Does it work with Arduino and Raspberry Pi?
It works with any board that can drive a digital pin, including Arduino and Raspberry Pi with the right Gravity adapter or jumper wires.
Where is the Gravity: Digital IR Transmitter Module cheapest?
At The Pi Hut, for $3.92, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Gravity: Digital IR Transmitter Module?
Rated 5 out of 5 from 3 ratings.
