After obtaining a brand-new television, producer Andreas Spiess’ remote no longer worked seamlessly with the controller his family had been using. While a universal remote could have solved the problem, in order to keep things simple to use, he instead came up with an infrared “babel fish” signal translator–named after its own language translation animal Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s.
The device receives infrared signals from the original remote, then squanders an Arduino Nano to delivered the accurately carried pulsates on to his Tv and receiver. A 3W IR diode disseminates these new signals with the help of an N-channel MOSFET, opening it enough superpower to restrict each component, even without the suitable line-of-sight orientation.
It’s a hacker that could be useful in countless places, and Speiss exits over how it was manufactured, along with pattern requirements in the video below.
