Introduction
The IR Emitter driver is used in conjunction with an IR LED to emit IR signals which can control various devices.
Driver Parameters
The IR Emitter driver has one parameter that needs to be configured:
Pin
This is the pin the IR led is connected to. Amy pin is suitable.
Wiring
Example
The IR led is connected to GP0 through a current limiting resistor. Special care should be given to IR LEDs since they can easily burn through. 100Ω is a good value for a driving voltage of 3.3V, which is being sourced by the GP pins.
