Ps: a = anode, k = cathode; check the spec sheet of the IR device to see which is which!

The problem with IR is that you can't see if it works - obviously, normal LEDs are much easier!!

Thanks Ant - You're a star mate.

I did do this kind of stuff at school in technology (or whatever it was called) so I'm not a total muppet, but it was a looooooooooooooooooong time ago.
