TSOP 1156 Accessing Values

Hello, I just started Arduino in August. I need to use this IR Seeker called TSOP1156. Info here:

I am a newbie so can someone help me make a code that just reads the values of the sensor? Thanks!

It looks just like a standard demodulating IR receiver. The codes it gives out will be whatever codes the sender sends.

Check out the wealth of IR receiver tutorials, libraries, and sketches all over the internet (an the Arduino site) for all your answers.

Can I just do an analog read to the sensor?

When I do that, it always reads HIGHS and rarely LOWS. It rarely dips below 300. Is there something wrong?

If you had done what I suggested in my last answer you would know the answer to that is a definite NO.
