*unofficial* FIRST IR module driver released

[JBotAlan]

UNOFFICIAL CONTENT. This code was not written by IFI or FIRST.

Well, thanks to the Holly Area School system, I got bored and wrote some alpha (for now) code that should let anyone with MPLAB interface to the new FIRST IR receiver module.

I don't even know if the thing works right now, since I have not been to the shop and don't have a board yet. But, I'm pretty sure this can help teams interested in doing the same who have their board.

Figuring out how to hook it up is up to you for now. The white wire goes to the CMD wire for that input, and black goes to ground. Power it off a PWM output with the backup battery, unless you really know what you are doing and can stabilize the voltage from the main battery--just be sure to keep the backup battery charged, or you will see strange behavior.

Let me know if you have any suggestions/concerns/problems/questions and I'll try to address them.

Here's the goods:

It'll be listed on our index as soon as I lose the laziness from today being a snow day.

Cheers,
