IR Receiver 101 web link & an IR based question.
Found a nice link that explains how IR receivers work nicely. I understood it, and I'm not electrically inclined in the least bit. lol

And then, I found this link which is an advanced IR receiver/decoder.

I was wondering if this (along with the signal from the RC to the OI - assuming the board with the outputs are connected to PWM cables on the robot) would allow your IR decoding status to be displayed on the OI portion of the system?
Would that even be useful at all for anything?

Basically what I'm asking, is if the IR board is used in conjunction with the RC & OI could the digital readout on the OI act as a PIC IR dectector in theory, or in practicality?
