Re: IRboard

A light should blink when you push a programmed button on the remote. If that isn't working, try turning the power source off then on. The error LED should light up for a second or so. If that isn't happening, see if you didn't hook up the power with the wrong polarity. If you did hook it up wrong, you will need to replace the 5v regulator. If that isn't the case, the board (or at least the sensor) is defective.
