This wiki article covers the KY-005 infrared transmitter (IR) module. Included are wiring diagrams, code examples, pinouts, and technical data. This sensor is generally used to transmit IR signals to other devices such as TVs and AV equipment.
The KY-005 infrared transmitter module is designed to transmit coded infrared signals at a frequency of 38kHz and a wavelength of 940nm. This is outside the spectrum detectable by humans. For standalone projects this module is generally paired with the KY-022 infrared receiver.
Tech Specs for the KY-005 IR Transmitter:
his module has three pins: Vcc+, Signal, and Ground
The KY-005 infrared module pinout is as follows:
The following Geek Pub projects use the KY-005 infrared transmitter module:
You’ll find below code examples of using the KY-005 infrared transmitter module with both the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi (Python).
The following code example is for the Arduino. This code snippet will transmit the A90 code via IR every second.
#include <IRremote.h>
#include <IRremoteInt.h>
IRsend irsend;
void setup()
{
}
// main program loop
void loop() {
irsend.sendRC5(0xA90, 12);
delay(1000);
}The following code example is for the Raspberry Pi using the Python programming language. This code will transmit the A90 IR code every 1 second.

Does KY005 transmit continuously ? Mainly I want to build a sensor systems that counts time passed between anyone has passed across sensors
That’s dependent upon the code you write. Also, I’d recommend using this instead: https://www.thegeekpub.com/wiki/sensor-wiki-ky-050-hc-sr04-ultrasonic-sensor/
Do you have some of doccumentarion about program the module in raspberry 3? I cant find anything in the web
hi, does the “#Coming Soon!” refer to the python code?
which library i need to install for this
