#include <IRremote.hpp>
/*
-John Galvez

This code sends signals from an IR remote to an AbleNet device through an aux cable.

AbleNet can be controlled by any digital 3.5mm mono switch (Page 8, https://files.ablenetinc.com/BigCommerce/content/html/Downloads/Activity_Supports/powerlink4_manual.pdf)

Uses this remote: https://www.amazon.com/Alinan-Infrared-Wireless-Control-Receiver/dp/B0CBP2DB9S/


Please see the schematic for pins https://anacapa.kycon.com/Pub_Eng_Draw/STX-3120-5B.pdf
Pin 1 (GND) of the 3.5mm adapter should connect to the emitter pin of the transistor
Pin 5 (Power) of the 3.5mm adapter should connect to the collector pin of the transistor
