Allows PIC Programming Enthusiasts to remotely control their designs.

This design was created to enable PIC microcontroller circuits to be enhanced by the addition of a low cost infrared sensor and suitable decoding software. The operation of the PIC software can then be selected via a remote control handset. This control option may be preferable to interfacing external switches to the PIC.

The circuit and program could also be used just as a simple tester to show that a remote control is working.
