Lego Mindstorms EV3 IR Beacon

Lego Mindstorms EV3 IR Beacon has been designed for use with the EV3 Infrared Seeker Sensor.

The beacon emits an infrared signal which the sensor can track.

Lego Mindstorms EV3 IR beacon can also be used as a remote control for the EV3 brick through signals sent to the infrared sensor.
