The Handyboard has a circuit (U7a, R4, C6) that generates a 38KHz signal.
That drives an amplifier that then goes to J7, the IR LED output. If you
hookup an IR LED to this jack (with a series resistor) then when you turn
on TOC2 using ir_xmit_on() the IR pulse at a rate of 38KHz.
The IR decoders turn on an output when they detect IR light pulsed at a
rate of 38 KHz (or there abouts).
I have my IR LED's hooked up like this:
220 Ohm
o--------/\/\/\--------------+-------------+---------------+
J7 o (LED) (LED) (LED)
o----------------------------+-------------+---------------+
Each of the detectors is hooked to a digital input like this:
+--------+
o-----------------------| 3 | Ground
o-----------------------| 2 | +5
| |
o-----------------------| 1 | Signal
+--------+
Other than the 38KHz modulation that the board does in hardware I'm not
pulsing the LEDs. I just turn them on, at the decoder to see if I see
the light reflected from them, then turn them off.
Hope that clears it up.
