This code is provided to overcome an issue with Arduino IR libraries
It allows you to capture raw timings for signals longer than 255 marks & spaces.
Typical use case is for long Air conditioner signals.

You can use the output to plug back into IRremote, to resend the signal.

Connections:
IR Receiver      Arduino
V+          ->  +5v
GND          ->  GND
Signal Out   ->  Digital Pin 2
(If using a 3V Arduino, you may connect V+ to +3V)
