# Adafruit TSMP96000 IR Receiver Breakout
## Overview
For classic 38KHz infrared remote signal reading, we've got a[lovely STEMMA IR Receiver](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5939). But if you want to read infrared signals from remotes with different carrier signals, especially when you don't know the frequency, this **Adafruit TSMP96000 "Code Learning" Infrared IR Receiver Breakout** has the ability to detect IR signals from 20 to 60KHz and provide the carrier signal for analysis. This is used for "code learning" situations where you want your device to work with any IR remote control.
Usage is simple: Power the board by connecting V+ and ground to 3~5VDC, point a 20~60KHz IR remote control at the sensors, and press some buttons. The modulated IR signal, with the carrier signal intact, is piped out the Signal pin into your microcontroller which will then need to decode it. To make usage really easy, we have a green 'power good' LED and a red 'signal' LED. When IR remote signals are read by the onboard sensors, the red LED will blink to let you know.
This board will work nicely for advanced IR remote receiving projects, because you don't get the demodulated output it's not good for most IR decoding firmware - make sure you've got code specifically designed for "code learning"! With mounting holes and a cable, it's easy to mount in enclosures and on devices. Using a 2mm pitch STEMMA JST PH cable with headers or alligator clips on the end, you can easily wire this board without any soldering.
Each STEMMA board is a fully assembled and tested PCB, but no cable. No soldering is required to use it, but you will need to pick up [a 2mm pitch, 3-pin STEMMA JST PH cable](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=jst+ph+3&sort=BestMatch). Alternatively, if you _do_ want to solder, there's a 0.1" spaced header for power/ground/signal.

## Pinouts
## Power Pins
- **VIN/V+** - this is the power pin. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V.
- **GND** - common ground for power and logic.
## Signal Output
- **SIG/Sig** - this is the output signal from the infrared receiver. When an IR signal is received, the signal is piped out the Signal pin into your microcontroller. The TSMP96000 can detect IR signals from 20 to 60KHz and provide the carrier signal for analysis.
## STEMMA JST PH
- [**STEMMA JST PH**](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt) - 2mm pitch STEMMA JST port for use with [3-pin STEMMA JST PH cables](https://www.adafruit.com/category/619). It has connections for:
- **GND** - common ground for power and data. It is the black wire on the JST PH cable.
- **V+** - power input for the infrared receiver. It is the red wire on the JST PH cable.
- **Sig** - signal to your microcontroller. It is the white wire on the JST PH cable.
## Signal LED and Jumper
- **Signal LED** - to the left of the JST PH connector is the signal LED, labeled **Sig**. It is the red LED. It will light up when an IR signal is read by the TSMP96000.
- **LED jumper** - in the center of the back of the board is a jumper for the signal LED. It is labeled **Sig** on the board silk. If you want to disable the signal LED, cut the trace on this jumper.
## Power LED and Jumper
- **Power LED** - to the right of the JST PH connector is the power LED, labeled **ON**. It is the green LED.
- **LED jumper** - in the center of the back of the board is a jumper for the power LED. It is labeled **On** on the board silk. If you want to disable the power LED, cut the trace on this jumper.

## Arduino
Using the TSMP96000 IR Receiver Breakout with Arduino involves wiring up the breakout to your Arduino-compatible microcontroller and running the provided example code. The code is compatible with AVR (ATmega328, ATmega32u4, etc) and RP2040 boards.
You'll need an infrared emitter to use this example with the breakout, such as an IR remote or IR LED:

Warning: This breakout is for advanced IR remote receiving projects. You don't get the demodulated output, so it is not good for most IR decoding firmware.
## Wiring
Wire as shown for a **5V** board like an Uno. If you are using a **3V** board, like an Adafruit Feather, wire the board's 3V pin to the breakout VIN.
Here is an Adafruit Metro wired up to the demodulator using a JST PH cable.
- **Board 5V** to **breakout JST PH** **V+ (red wire)**
- **Board GND** to **breakout**** JST PH GND (black wire)**
- **Board pin 2** to **breakout** **JST PH** **Sig (white wire)**
Here is an Adafruit Metro wired up using a solderless breadboard:
- **Board 5V** to **breakout** **VIN (red wire)**
- **Board GND** to **breakout**** ****GND (black wire)**
- **Board pin 2** to **breakout** **SIG (white wire)**
Info: No additional libraries are needed for this example code.
## Example Code
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/main/TSMP96000_Demo/TSMP96000_Demo.ino
Upload the sketch to your board and open up the Serial Monitor ( **Tools -\> Serial Monitor** ) at 115200 baud. As you send IR signals to the breakout, you'll see the frequency and pulse count print to the Serial Monitor.

[Chris Young](https://learn.adafruit.com/u/cyborg5) has an excellent guide detailing how he built an IR Transmitter and Receiver that utilizes a similar code learning module ([the TSMP58000](https://www.vishay.com/docs/82908/tsmp98000.pdf)). This guide demonstrates how you would utilize one of these receivers to decode IR messages.
