Receiving commands on an Arduino, commands from an ordinary infra red remote control

Scruffy initial notes. It DOES work!

From that (copy d/l'd 11 Aug 15, ...

Everything unzipped into a folder called IRRemoteShirriff. (Discarded the wrapper which was part of the zip, i.e. the Arduino-IRremote-master folder.

This with Arduino 1.0.6

That installed into Arduino Development Environment, using Sketch/ Import Library/ Add Library

Before this will run properly, you may have to deal with the "TKD2" error. Try compiling something. If you don't see a TKD2 error, don't worry. If you do, see....

(The TKD2 error is nothing to do with me, TKB)

C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries

"Good" number, followed by gibberish, if button on controller held down. "Number": sequence of characters from range 0...9, A...F, e.g. 1CB9C was the "number" (it IS a number, if you understand hex notation) I received from a Sony music system controller, when I pressed the "stop" button

That's it for now! Let me know if you want me to tidy this!
