It's a very easy to use 4-channel switch, controllable by any infrared remote control.
You don't need to know anything about the protocol or frequency of your remote control - the IR2IO board works with any common IR-remote control.
This is the easiest way to control your hardware by an infrared remote control.
Implementing an infrared protocol on your controller project is not so easy (you have to know some information about your remote control like frequency and type of protocol and finally you have to find a library for this which runs on your microcontroller). Most projects only need to react on some few specific buttons of your remote control - save your time and nerves and concentrate on the main parts of your project. You can now control your hardware with any IR-remote control in just a few seconds.
To cover a wide range of use cases - the IR2IO has a very large input voltage range: Any supply voltage from 3,3 V to 24 V can be used.
The IR2IO board has a broadband IR-Receiver. It works with all infrared signals with a base frequency between 20kHz and 60kHz. This covers all common used infrared frequencies used in IR-remote controls.
To use a button on your IR-remote to control one of the 4 outputs of the IR2IO, just press and hold the output corresponding button on the IR2IO board and then press the button on your remote control which you like to connect with this output. Thats all! Now the output is connected with this button on your remote control - anytime you press the button on your remote - the output activates as long as you press and hold the button.
IR2IO supports three modes:

Switching Output current | 80 mA |
Pull Up Resistor | 10 kOhm |
IR-frequency | 20 kHz - 60 kHz |
