Worked on getting the RC board to communicate with Arduino. Deductive logic did not work at its best here. I managed to switch a couple of LEDs on and off using the remote control; but the input from the board seems to 'change' after a while. I guess it has to do with the Italian and the Chinese ideology which went behind making the circuits.
Anyways I am determined to make them talk to each other despite of their cultural differences.
Will keep a note of latest happenings on that front here.
