Introduction

The ESP8266 module can be used to receive IR remote control signals.

In this example we will connect a TSOP4838 IR module. Connect the digital output (pin 1) to some chosen GPIO pin on the ESP module. Load the firmware and follow the firmware specific instructions. A datasheet for that receiver can be found here: http://www.vishay.com/docs/82459/tsop48.pdf.
