I'm curious how I might wire a simple, three prong IR receiver to my UNO, and I would love some help.
Thanks
It's very easy: Ground to Ground, Power to +5V, and Signal to the digital input pin of your choice.
There are libraries for receiving IR commands from IR remote controls.

I need to write a good Wiki page on this....
I'm not worried about actual communication yet. I found the part number for the nodule I have and it had wiring directions in it. All's good now.
