Hi every one,

any one know what is the best IR LED for remote control application?
or suggestion for LED driver?
what is the best wide angle or high power with narrow angle?
I'm looking for 950nm.

Thanks 

Ori

Here in the States, Radio Shack www.radioshack.com carries a 38kHz IR
receiver module Catalog # 276-640, at $3.69 each. That might give you a good
starting point.

The 940nm IR LED, of which there are many sources, is my favorite.  I 
like the narrow angle ones since more energy goes in the direction I 
aim.  However if you are going to do broadcasting or beacons you'll want 
the wide angle units.

There's a simple IR send/receive with learning, PC interface, PC
software with o'scope emulation - using the AVR 90S2313 on 
AVRfreaks.net, projects section, project "TWIRP". Full C code.

I'm sure http://www.mouser.com/ and http://www.digikey.com/ carry many IR
modules.  Once you find a module number you can find other distributors by
using www.findchips.com <http://www.findchips.com/>  which is good for
finding parts including chips.

 

By the way, a good Embedded Systems channel on IRC is #nop on EFNet :)

Hi every one,

any one know what is the best IR LED for remote control application?
or suggestion for LED driver?
