===== Infrared Interface =====

With Interface Interface, you can connect to Carberry an infrared sensor and/or an infrared emitter, to work with remote controls and appliances.\\

==== Layout ====

{{ :carberry:hw_spec:infrared_connector.jpg?nolink&600 |}}

Connector wiring from Carberry side.\\
All signals, except from supply, are routed to Carberry MCU.

==== Pinout ====

^ Position      ^ Kind       ^ Description          ^
| 1    | Supply         | +12V from main connector (connect to emitter anode) | 
| 2    | Signal         | Infrared modulated output (connect to emitter katode) | 
| 3    | Signal         | Infrared demodulated input (from sensor) |
| 4    | Signal         | +3V3 General Purpose I/O |
| 5    | Supply         | Power/Signal Ground                   |
| 6    | Supply         | Sensor Power Supply|

==== External Devices ====

To operate with infrared interface, you need of:

== Infrared Sensor ==
To receive codes from standard infrared remote controls, to drive mediacenter applications like XBMC.\\
An infrared sensor like {{:carberry:hw_spec:tsop48xx.pdf|TSOP4838}} can be used.\\

== Infrared Emitter ==
To transmit codes to drive appliances like radios, RGB leds, DVD players, TV tuners, and so on.\\
An infrared diode like {{:carberry:hw_spec:tsff5210.pdf|TSFF5210}} can be used.\\
    
==== Connector ====

Connector fitted on Carberry is an AMP MODU II serie header, with 6 pins.\\
Mating connector partnumber is {{:carberry:hw_spec:mouii.pdf|280360-0}}.


==== Harness ====

If you prefer to use an "off-the-shelf" harness for infrared functionality, consider to use this {{:carberry:hw_spec:infrared_harness.jpg?linkonly|Plug&PLay Infrared Harness}}.
