Your comments in parentheses are precisely backwards. The IR board outputs are logic 0 when inactive, and logic 1 when active. Does that correction help you identify the problem?

In bench testing, this worked fine.
If you saw multiple signals high and a single one going low while testing, there was something wrong. It sounds like you might not have had a common ground between the IR board and the RC.
