Default Re: Infra red remote control receiver

What a useful piece of kit(TC1),and laughably cheap too.Thanks for the link.
It's worth getting one for the tool kit,as it will be good for testing remote controls to show that they are "active",ie sending data rather than just ir?
My original problem was that I had a faulty unidentifiable remote control receiver device,fitted in a machine with seemingly(so far?)no technical info available.I needed to establish what remote control carrier frequency was in use,in order to fit an appropriate replacement.I winged it,and plumped for a common 38Khz device,and happily, it works!!
If I come up with a better tester,I'll let you all know of course
