You've got an Arduino on the bench and you want it to actually control your TV or media centre. This IR transmitter module does exactly that. Snap it onto a breadboard, wire the 3-pin header to your digital output, and you're sending IR codes over the air. Pair it with the Duinotech RX module (XC4427) and you've got simple wireless communication between two boards. Quick tip: point your phone camera at the transmitter while it fires. You'll see a faint purple flash on screen. That's your confirmation the phototransistor is working before you chase a wiring fault
