IR Communications
REMCON Usage Guide (See user manual below for overall Serial Wombat guide):
Set Pin 7 to IR Tx Mode and enable pin 6 to 38kHz carrier
Set Pin 3 to IR Rx Mode.
Pin 1 is a Green LED, intended for use as a blink mode for communications. 3.3V or 5V operation.
Pins 2,4,5 and 6 can be configured to other pin modes (Analog, Servo, PWM or Digital I/O in v 2.2.3)
Solder Jumper options:
I2C address can be configured between 0×60 and 0×6F through closing the 4 address jumpers
Transmit output power can be increased by closing the boost jumper (3.3V operation only)
A board power LED can be enabled by closing the LED jumper at the top front of the board
Basic Sample Arduino Sketch (see more in the library):
// Print out incoming NEC IR Command number to Serial #include <SerialWombat.h> PCB0041_Remcon remcon; #define PCB0041_I2C_ADDRESS 0x60 void setup() { Wire.begin(); //Initialize the I2C Bus on default pins Serial.begin(115200); delay(3000); Serial.println("PCB0041 IR Receive Example. Point remote at PCB0041 and press a key"); remcon.begin(PCB0041_I2C_ADDRESS); } void loop() { int receivedData = remcon.irrx.read(); if (receivedData >= 0) { Serial.println(receivedData); } }
Revision History
PCB0041_V4:
Made the board longer, added QR code, added two populated QWIIC connectors on the front.
PCB0041_V3:
Board shipped as a reward for Kickstarter 2026 campaign. Has an unpopulated QWIIC connector on the back, but otherwise identical to V4 schematic.
PCB0041_V2:
Internal development release.
PCB0041_V1:
Internal development release.
