2026-01-01 (Th) BonfireLaserTag Infrared receivers wired

The last bit of component wiring was the infrared receivers. I considered wiring them during the final installation, but when I thought about all the steps involved in connecting three receivers in parallel, I made a day of it. I am glad I spent the time to concentrate on these because they took the whole time. The worst part was getting two wires onto one component lead. I conquered the problem by twisting the wires together, tinning them, then soldering them to the receiver. I missed the first few terminals that should have been shrink-wrapped, but I was more disciplined about the later work.
