You can connect an IR LED to it.  Maybe you may need a series resistor to
limit the current through it as well.

Basically, the IR LED acts as a transmitter (the same round thing in
front of your remote).

The demodualator is not a transmitter...it is a receiver.

What type of IR component do I need to attach to the Handyboard to allow the
IR output to function?  Searching the FAQ and documentation only showed the
connection circuit up to the point of the header strip.  I assume it
wouldn't be the same as the Sharp IS1U60 demodulator.

And, BTW, a big thanks to Max Davies for his IR input routines and web page
that allows easy configuration of the IR input from a remote!
