mLink NEC IR Tranceiver

I needed a simple way to decode NEC remote commands for a custom lighting project, and this module's I2C interface made wiring and coding much cleaner than dealing with raw timing. The library examples got me reading signals in under an hour.

Finally got my custom IR blaster setup working because this module handles the I2C interface cleanly — no signal jitter at all. It's tiny but does exactly what I need for controlling my gear through a microcontroller.

The NEC protocol support is spot-on for my IR projects, and the I2C interface keeps the wiring clean with just two data lines. I had it receiving signals within minutes of hooking it up to my microcontroller.
