Hi John,

no problem, you just need to build a simple passive splitter like the one
shown here

http://www.kat5.tv/images/ir_splitter.gif

That one takes three inputs and combines them before feeding it to three
outputs.

If you only want a single input then omit the diodes and extra input
sockets.

Use resistors of between 330 and 510 ohms to feed each output.

I have a "1 input to 6 output" splitter in use using 510R
resistors and
driving a combination of single, single blink and dual (non blink) emitters
