controling PF ir receiver with mindsorms NXT

[legoboy3998]

So im wondering if it is possible to control the PF IR receiver with the Mindstorms NXT controller? I want to connect a Model railroad type sound decoder into a PF controlled locomotive so that the sound of the motor reacts accordingly with the increase/decrease of speed of the locomotive, and push button activation of a horn and bell with the push of a button.(press a button and the bell dings till the button is pressed again) and (as long as another button is held the horn blows.) If this makes sense to anyone or anyone has any thoughts that would be great.

Hi Technic are the answer.

Thanks roamingstudio, would this plus the nxt intel. brick allow me to control the PF IR receiver using the "single pin mode" as described in the PF v1.2 protocol pdf put out by LEGO earlier this year, to control the c1 and c2 pins individually? And, if connected in parallel, would it allow a motor connected normally a device connected for use in the single pin mode to work on the same side of the IR receiver (that is to say the red side of channel 1 for example)?
