Getting constant motor power with IR board

[nick1230]

thank you all who have helped so far. One more problem though... we have come to the conclusion the one pin #17 on the rc doesn't work. we can wire it all different ways and it is always that pin that doesn't send the signal properly. ITS NOT THE IR BOARD.

the code we're using right now has been copied and modified from Mark McLeod (thank you by the way). We understand the bit shift idea, but since pin 17 doesn't work (don;t worry, its last year's rc), it limits us to 3 commands. can you explain how to bit shift it two more so we're using pins 13-16 instead.
