Upon opening this up, I first gleamed a look at a MSP430G2755, 28-pin TSSOP. It's hooked up to a audio controller, 2 dumb RGB LEDs, an IR LED, and a Vishay IR receiver. There are 6 products in Vishay's lineup and they differ by nature of different carrier frequencies. Over the coming weekend I'll be probing the IR LED and trying to figure out what wavelength is it's dominant one. My DSLR will pick up a TV remote's IR LED, but not these. Cell phone's IR filter blocks the TV remote's IR light. Due to the nature of this I have to devise a means of determining the beam width and strength of the IR LED for a possible, long-range upgrade.
