and i still have it. the first thing to throw me is, why all that circuitry for a fairly simple job?
also, the ir reciever has only two leads, not the three the internet suggests it should have. (i suspect this is related to the above)
I was hoping to cut the IR reciever diode off, and wire it up in the same way i would with a photoresistor and be able to read the signals with an arduino, but i suspect, i wont be able to do that?
are much more contained. They actually are set up to receive IR at 38kHz. The left hand board above probably does some of what the 3 pin receivers do. You would be better off spending the $3 or so to acquire one of the 3 pin IR receivers. The extra harware will save you from having to write extra software.
