IR sensor help

K tried that ...

I used a 10k ohm resistor to start, then switched to two 47k ohm resistors in series for 94 k ohms, and always was 1023 reading with slight variations to 1022 and 1021 randomly. I pressed my tv remote and got no reaction. Here is how I have it set up...

  • 5v _____ 94 ohm ______ cathode ________ A5
    anode_______ground I believe this is exactly what you mean.

Just using this simple code...

int Receiver =0;

void setup()

{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int Receiver = analogRead(A5);
Serial.println(Receiver);
}
