Explanation:
GCBASIC support interfacing with IR remote controls. The header file contains explanations, for both hardware and software.
This has been tested on many different IR sensors, and different remote controls.
Demonstration program:
The example is expected to work with most any IR sensor running at a 38 kHz carrier frequency.
