I am using a nano, the same one I used years ago.
I built a small board consisting of the nano and an ir sensor socket. The sensor socket (a bit of an old ic socket) is just soldered onto pin 5 of the nano socket.
The sketch is the SimpleReceiver sketch from the examples.as I said in my first post but this is it in my altered state to light the led on 13 and serial print and add 'see this' to the monitor.

It also has a file PinDefinitionsAndMore.h on another tab in the IDE that I have altered the IR_RECEIVER_PIN to 5 to work with my board.
