Infrared Detectors

An Infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. These simple devices operate at 940nm and work well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Using a simple ADC on any microcontroller will allow variable readings to be collected from the detector.
