Re: IR Receiver

Here is how I did it:
Reciever has 4 wires...

Red wire to circuit board (+)
Black and unshielded wire to PWM Black.
White to PWM White.
Green (ignore).

PWM wire to Digital Input...

Seems like I need to hook up an external ground somewhere to power the sensor, but where does that go?
I'm using the ground pin found on the digital input, works fine for me...

One thing I know is that you need the ground wire (from the receiver) connected to the ground on the digital input port. Because while the reciever is recieving a signal from the source there is a connection between the ground and the white wire, and the controller detects that connection through the digital input.
