A year ago we designed a high-current-output Infrared Transmitter STEMMA which makes it easy to create high-powered IR LED blasters. Now we've sat down to design the other side, the super sensitive wide-range Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Receiver with two selectable IR receiver chips.We found plenty of 38KHz receiver sensors that would work nicely on this breakout board - but when it came to choosing one that was vertical or horizontal we just couldn't make up our mind...so why not both? We've placed one on the end and one in the middle, and a slide switch to select which one you want to read signal from. We can't just tie the outputs together because they'd 'fight' each other and give incoherent output - but if you're willing to solder two wires, it's possible to read each one independently thanks to labelled breakout pads.
