I got an IR to RF converter from weaknees

I works well but I am curious how it works. There is just some RF transmitter thing that gets stuffed into the battery compartment of the remote and I can't see how it picks up a signal from the remote.

Current flow on the battery when activating a pulse on the IR diode?

Maybe ? Weaknees says it doesn't work with harmony remotes and those have a screen so they would be drawing current all the time.

The battery would still pulse as the LED lit, et would just be .17 amps instead of .15 (making the numbers up). The screen would be a constant draw.

Thanks for posting that! That is exactly what I needed for a little project! Thank you!

And no, I can't tell you how it works.
