IBU2 Can I test IR sensors?

Just spent two days fitting a custom loom inside my Bulldog turret and hiding the sensors and led's. Although the led's light up when the tank is switched on, so I know that they are ok, is there any way to test the sensors, eg with a tv remote or anything else?
The only other boards I have are RX18's, and I am assuming that simply plugging a Maplins IR emitter into one of those won't work when fired at an IBU2.
Cheers

Hi Rob,
Only way is to hit it with Tamiya IR code. I can't say I have tried using a tv etc remote so something might work.

Cheers Ian, I may have to wait till Bogeyman gets his Tiger up and running as he has an IBU2 in it.

Andy is 40 miles south of here, though if he was up for it I would meet up with him for a quick test. I am thinking of coming up to MAD in March, it would be good to know that it worked before then.
