Have you ever needed a cheap way to activate something from across the room? Infrared remotes are still the cheapest way to wirelessly control a device. We have designed this remote to be small, very simple, and low-cost. For the majority of the projects we build, we don't need 34 buttons, we need one or two. We just wanted to provide you with a cheap and easy to use remote!
Our infrared remote control offers buttons for four directions, power, select, and three optional use buttons (labled "A," "B," and "C"). Unfortunately we can't guarantee that it will work with your Stuart Hughes' PrestigeHD Supreme Rose Edition though. Rather, we are carrying this remote to work with many of the more common IR receiver ICs.
Note: The unit does NOT come with a CR2025 coin cell battery (check below). You can use a CR2032 battery, but we found they get stuck easily because they're slightly too thick. It's recommended that you use the CR2025, it fits well.
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Does this remote use NEC protocol?
Hi there, it sounds like you are looking for technical assistance. Please use the link in the banner above, to get started with posting a topic in our forums. Our technical support team will do their best to assist you.
That being said, here is a link to the product's tutorial.
This new version of the remote is NOT the same as the version it replaces (COM-11759). It emits different codes, so software developed with COM-11759 will not work with this remote, and the Sparkfun example code will not work.
Here are the codes for this new version COM-14865:
You are correct about the hex codes for the remotes being different. However, I did update the tutorial a while back when this product was released to reflect the new remote => IR Control Kit Hookup Guide. The code listed in the tutorial and GitHub repo should work as expected with the different hex codes.
I just discovered that this little remote really has 21 buttons, but only 9 of the 21 buttons are available! It would be a killer feature to have a cheap IR remote like this with at least two button plates: 1. The standard one you have here 2. One with all 21 buttons with generic labels (grid style A1 - C7) or (the HEX codes)
Also include little stickers to put over the buttons so we can customize our own remote. :)
