Re: IR Board Fried?

you can always make your own. Programing it would be a little hard without knowing the rate of the IR signal from the remote, but if you can, you can make a replacement one until you can buy another.

an example is:
(MADE UP BTW)

on remote, pressing play will make its IR LED pulse on,off,on,on,off (10110).
If you have the replacement circuit board's IR sensor look for the IR signal pulsating at 10110, it can recognize the remote button.

This isn't a complete fix, and I'm pretty sure you cannot use this in the actual match, but it's a way to practice while you don't have one. This way if you get one 3 days before ship, you're not screwed because you will have the code worked out. You'll just haveto tweak it a bit for the FIRST IR board.
