Connect an IR sensor to the micro:bit with alligator clips or an extension board. The photo shows ring:bit with IR sensor attached to pin 1.

Hint: Make sure you see a yellow glow around the script. That's how you know it is running!

Run the script below by clicking on it, then press a button on the IR remote control while pointing it at the sensor. You will see the code sent by that button.

Connect a speaker to pin 0 and run this script to make the IR signal audible!
