Hi, welcome to Chief Delphi!

Typically it is advisable to search before you post as many others may have had the same question you do and already posted about it. In this case, "IR" does not have enough characters to be searchable and reciever doesn't hit the most useful threads so I've tracked them down for you.

The best resource to start with would be the documentation from FIRST regarding the board. You can find that here:
FIRST IR User Guide

If you still have questions I would try these threads here on Chief Delphi
Using the IR
Programming The Infrared Board
IR Board Power

If you still have specific questions after that post back here and I'm sure someone would be glad to help you out.

If you need help ,if you have tried programming the IR like in the directions and are using a universal remote try programming a different setting on the remote by reading the directions in the manual that came with the remote. We were having problems programming it and then reprogrammed the remote and then it was a piece of cake.

Other wise when applying power push and hold the button on the IR for about 5 secs then release, then the first led will light, push your first button you want to be programmed on the remote, it will blink and light up again then push the same button, then the second led will light and repeat the steps above for the rest of the leds. Then to test after the forth light goes out push the buttons that you programmed and the corresponding led will light.
