Record incoming IR pulses with an IR Receiver on an Arduino

arduino_ir_receiver.ino

/* Raw IR decoder sketch!
 
 This sketch/program uses the Arduno and a PNA4602 to 
 decode IR received. This can be used to make a IR receiver
 (by looking for a particular code)
 or transmitter (by pulsing an IR LED at ~38KHz for the
 durations detected 
 
 Code is public domain, check out www.ladyada.net and adafruit.com
 for more tutorials!
