LIRC: Parts for IR reciever in the UK (Mark Zealey)

[Craig B. <cra...@bt...>]

I built mine using an IR Receiver from an old piece of electronics. I think
t was an old VCR or something. But for £18 you can pick up an IR keyboard
and receiver which gives you an IR chip and a nice little housing to put it
all in.
