First, thanks for the shout back. In this dystopian, virus filled, riot torn world its much appreciated !

Yes, Im aware SONY generally requires three pulse hits to react. There is also a
Samsung and Element TV I can test against.

To answer your other question, I anticipate your familiar with the Arduino ?
The code works great; the hardware works great when used with a standard
red, blue, white ect LED. It lights as it should. However, when using the IR LED and catching it on the cell phone camera, its just the faintest of a blink; difficult to see but its there.

I have tried three different IR LEDs including de-constructing a known good remote. I saw an 'sketch' using a transistor to boost the power; it makes the
standard LED a bit brighter but no effect on the IR LED. According to friggin' YouTube, this should work.

Im NOT an electronics guy but did try to learn if voltage requirements
were different between a standard LED and IR. Pretty sure I'm doing something incorrect. I can send any documentation you may want.

Thanks
Thanks!
