Re: Problems with IR sensor

I believe it is.

But do yourself a favor and use an ohm meter or a continuity tester and identify Pin 1 and 2 - they go to the plus side of the battery no matter what color the wire is. Pin 3 and 4 go to the negative side again no matter what color the wires are. Then Pin 8 for CMD0, Pin6 for CMD1, Pin5 for CMD2, and Pin7 for CMD3 no matter what colors they are. See the Document that FIRST supplied.

Does you cable look like mine, oriented the way it is in the picture? If so than the colors scheme I described should match.
