Thanks for the advice so far. My screen seems to be wired correctly(maybe I did know what I was doing and forgot) but I still can't seem to really make it work. I might just need to play with it a bit more though.
I also have encountered that for some reason there seems to be no good guide to programming basic IR sensors. I have two parts 1 freq-out and 1 receiver. I have no idea how to program them. I just want to send out the pulse and if it sees something it will do one thing but if it doesn't then it will do another. Any help or guides for this?
