TSOP is just not that helpful.

We need to know what your ICs are.

You asked a question equivalent to -

I bought a blue truck, can you tell me if it is gas or diesel and what its MPG would be?

This TSOP is an infrared reciever normally in a 3 pin package with the part number TSOP17nn where nn is the frequency it is designed to recieve.

Funny. I though he was asking about the package also.

IE...I am using a PDIP chip and I want to control the world... ;)

The datasheet should tell what the output power is; the input specs for your H Bridge will determine what needs to be done with the signal.

Do you have a schematic? This way we can see how the signal path is affected and what voltage and current we are dealing with.

I would ALWAYS start by downloading the datasheets for EVERY part you are using.

Thanks, I have had one of those days where I am just waiting for the crap to hit the fan because I literally can't believe how well things are going, so I am just expecting something bad to turn it all around... Yeah yeah! That is a symptom of something so don't tell me because I have that figured out.

But I read that joke and it just cracked me up.
