Kevin Darrah | Arduino + TV Remote Brings back traditional Channel Surfing! @Kevindarrah | Uploaded February 2019 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Fun project here that could have a lot of uses - basically a TV Remote to USB translator, so could think of a lot of ways to use something like this. For me, I just wanted an easy way to channel surf using the same TV remote that came with the TV. For this, I just read in the IR codes form the remote, then map them to key-strokes to do different things. I could see the up/down left/right keys being used to drive the mouse around... lol, that might be my next project!
Here's the IR Detector I used (there are many compatible ones out there) vishay.com/docs/82476/tssp58p38.pdf
