Trying to build an IR project

Or you can capture the pulsetrain with a soundcard and IR receiver for about $1.50

Absolutely! Many different tools to suit your tastes and budget....

I started with a IR receiver (about $1.50) and my old Hitachi scope.

Then I progressed to the IR receiver, stuffed into my soundcard and recorded with Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) , which I've used for various signal capture fun for years.

The IR Widget just takes it a step further because the software helps tell you things about a remote that you would otherwise have to calculate or guess at yourself based on recorded scope patterns.

It's just another tool in the box. Use it or not as you please.
