Hi, I recently took up Arduino, and have been closely following Paul Mcwhorter's series of tutorials on Youtube, which employed the elegoo starter kit. I'm new to using sensors of any kind, and have found this infrared one particularly challenging, none of the code is fallible as (in a test), I copied and pasted from Mcwhorter's blog online. Nor is it the libraries doing, given I selected the one released when the one from the aforementioned project was chosen.
It works sporadically, (Printing the frequency of the remote impulses in hexadecimal), but seldom aligns itself with any patter that I can discern. I've ordered a new signal outputted AND sensor from Amazon, yet I'm uncertain of any avail. Thoughts or answers?

Your post contains no information of use beyond that something IR doesn't work on your mystery Arduino. We cannot see your wiring. We cannot see your code. We have no idea what the project is meant to do. We have little idea what it actually does. Please read and follow the guidelines.
Is the sensor an IR phototransistor that senses IR light? Or an IR receiver/decoder that works with an IR remote?
Are you using a test that just decodes IR signals?
IR signals is correct？
Yes
See post #2 and #3. Much more information is needed.
I experience only 50% success in IR decoding. Multiple receivers, transmitters or Arduinos do not improve the rate. You will have to code around the bad data.
