AnalysisIR software looks great.
I have an SMD design of the shield as well (for a pre-assembled version) but am gauging interest with the kit first.
Do you have a suggestion for a variable frequency/clocked demodulator that works well with AnalysisIR ?
I normally use IRremote but thanks for the tip about IRLib, it looks good, will start using it.
That funny IR receiver pinout actually supports 3 different positions, only one at a time, they are all wired to the same pin.
The third position is a combination of the other two, to accommodate the larger IR receivers like this one on the right:
It will fit 56kHz as well as the continuous demodulation receivers like the TSOP58038.
Which I was using for IR bootloading an Arduino project that didn't have external access for USB.
That's here: http://krazatchu.ca/2012/05/07/superduplex-an-infrared-bootloader-for-arduino/
The IR receiver in the picture is the VS1838B, cheap as chips on eBay.
The IR LEDs are run of the mill 940nm, digikey or eBay.
Thanks!
