(...) Actually, it would be easy enough for someone with electronics and microcontroller experience just to build a new receiver. You typically record the IR signals on a PC, figure out how they're coded, then program a microcontroller to decode (...)

(...) Im still trying to figure all that out. If I make 20+ at a time it wouldn't be horrible but it's still a little time consuming. Heres a short list of components 1 IR receiver base <not listed on bricklink yet so ???...??? 2 28guage 4 strand (...)
