Don't Settle for Overpriced and Sub-Par IR Blasters! Stick with the original: The Rabbit-Labs IR Blaster!
Rabbit-Labs was established to supply high-quality hand-made boards at fair prices. As We have evolved, we have added more boards but have stayed true to our mission; to keep prices fair while refusing to sacrifice on quality or cut corners.
PINK Rabbit-Labs IR Blaster:
### PINKFOXX HERE. THE COUNCIL OF FOXXES HAS INFILTRATED RABBIT-LABS AND MADE SOME… CHANGES… TO THE BELOVED BLASTER. SAY HEWWO TO THE PINK BLASTER!
### THESE ARE A LIMITED EDITION OFFERING.
ONCE THEY ARE GONE, THEY'RE GONE FOREVER, SO GRAB ONE WHILE YOU CAN!
### THERE ARE *TWO* LED OPTIONS: WHITE AND PINK. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE COLOR YOU WANT FOR THE REAR STATUS LED.
WHAT IT IS / DOES:
Expands the power of the flipper-zero® IR capabilities.
7 IR High-Intensity LEDs to disperse the signal being transmitted as "loud" as possible.
Low overall power consumption
Built-in Reverse polarity protection to prevent damage to the flipper if inserted backwards.
Nifty green "power" LED to let you know the death st… I mean IR Blaster is ready to fire. 😅
lets you control TVs, Projectors, A/V Equipment, wall AC units, fans, heaters, and much more using the flipper as an "universal remote"
It's small!
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
Make you breakfast
Read you a bedtime story
Destroy Alderaan or other planets
Why not use the built-in IR on the flipper?
Well, you still need the built in IR on the flipper to program the flipper with new IR Signals as this is ONLY a transmitter. This said, when running unofficial firmware, you can turn on the "Debug IR" feature which will allow you to use this module. This will allow you to transmit at a might higher power than the built-in IR, which means you can turn on / off devices without having to point the flipper at the device directly. Advice: Don't test device in the next room while your significant other is watching TV 😂🤣
Technical details:
The IR Blaster is comprised of 7 high powered IR LEDs driven directly from the 5v rail. this operates the LEDs at their theoretical maximum brightness ensuring the signal is broadcast as "loud" as possible into the room. As long as the IR Receiver can see even a reflection of the IR being emitted, it should respond to the code being sent by the blaster.
How to Use:
The module is plug-and-play! While it used to require the use of unofficial firmware, the module is now supported in all firmware revisions including Official FW.
FAQ –
Q: The green light doesn't turn on, what's going on?
A: Make sure the board is fully seated in the Flipper, if you have a silicone case, you may need to adjust it slightly as the module is designed to fit snugly into the case. Also – Make sure you turn 5v on as this is a 5v module! This can be done under the GPIO settings. NOTE: Removal and re-insertion of the module will turn off 5v. When plugged into USB (such as a power pack) 5v is always on, and this step can be skipped)
Q: I have tried to turn on/off a TV / at a bar, store, menu, school, etc and it's not working.
A: Do not mess with devices you do not own, or do not have permission to mess with. Period. This said, if you do have permission, make sure that the device itself is working properly with IR to begin with. many systems, use RF or bluetooth instead of IR to actually communicate (I'm looking at you Fire-stick/TV) Also, try capturing an IR signal with a known working remote using the on-board IR Receiver, and then transmitting the saved signal with the blaster.
Q: The IR LEDs don't light up when I look at them with my naked eye
A: Infrared is not visible (or barely) to the naked eye. You need to "view" the IR using a camera (any cell phone camera will do). additionally, the LEDS used on the blaster, WILL illuminate SLIGHTLY red to the naked eye, if you are in a completely dark room, and I mean COMPLETELY dark.
Q: My Blaster gets a little warm after extended use, is this normal?
A: Yes, the blaster puts out a decent amount of power, and in turn creates a decent amount of heat, which is absorbed into the board. While the board might get a little warm, it should not get HOT. if your board gets HOT, discontinue use and reach out to me and I can arrange a replacement if it is deemed to be a manufacturing defect. Please note that every board is stress-tested before it is shipped and I cannot replace boards due to user misuse/abuse such as running higher voltages, illuminating the IR steady-on as if it were a flashlight, or modifying the board in anyway.
Q: RESTOCK WEN?!
A: SOON 😉 – No seriously, I can only build so many of these at a time as it is a very time consuming process. Each unit is hand-made, and fully tested before being shipped, so please be patient 🙂 I plan on restocking at least once per week, if not more often. Sign up for the Wait-List to be notified on restocks.
Q: Handmade? you mean you don't get these manufactured?
A: Yes, each and every Board is hand-made, all SMT is soldered by me, and all through-hole soldering is also soldered by me. As such, it takes time to build each and every board. Sure, it prevents me from stocking more, but it also ensures I can have a tight control on quality, and well, I enjoy it 🙂
Q: My order says it has been shipped, but the tracking says the USPS / UPS / DHL / etc. is awaiting the item and it's been a day or two, what's going on?
A: I work a full time job, I build these boards (and ship them) in the evenings, when the post office is closed. I try my best to get everything dropped off the following day, but sometimes circumstances (Looking at you NJ Traffic) gets in the way of me making it to the post office in a timely fashion. Just please know I make every effort to get packages dropped off to the post office at the earliest.
