Re: NEW IR board?

We have tried to program the IR board with no success. Tried multiple remotes..no go. The IR board error LED lights when we power up the board with the learn button pressed for 2 second and goes out when the button is released and the CMD0 LED comes on. Then pushing the 1 button on the remotes, nothing happens. Have tried at least a dozen different TV types using a Radio Shack Universal remote. Looked at the signals coming out of S1 the IR receiver IC and see good solid 5v to 0v transitions. The FIRST IR board must be bad (maybe static damage to the micro from handling). Where do we buy another board? Tried to email the designer Bob Grieb but it bounced.
