Richardmcc2,

I couldn't help but notice in your video the output led's flash repeatly.

The operation of the IR is when it recieves a learned command, it toggles an output for 100msec.

Your outputs in your video flash.

Is that because:

1. Your remote control is repeatly sending a signal to the IR controller?

2. Your operator "thumb" is pressing on the remote control repeatly?

The remote control we are using only sends one IR command per-press of the button, even if you hold it down for any length of time.

Just curious...

BTY, our board works great out of the box.
