Infrared detector module

Here's how to test out an infrared detector module.· This device is commonly available.
I'm using a high-efficiency LED.· An ordinary LED is dimmer, but works anyway.· If you insist on greater brightness then it's OK to use a lower value resistor (not less than 470Ω.)

By the way I still like your old avatar. It looks cool as what you are.
I spent quite a bit of time on setting up a BasicStamp to actually capture and send the coded highs and lows to my computer so I could figure out what each button has for encoding.
It is always helpful to know the device is working before you get that far into it.
The next step is to get an old remote up and running as a controller for all the devices in my room. I have even considered having a BasicStamp receive codes ignored by my TV and retransmit the right code. In that way, my whole world would be controlled from one and only one remote control.

It's sunny and warm here. It is always sunny and warm here.... (unless a typhoon blows through).
