SirPoonga:
Has someone here made a custom IR remote?
I figured I'd ask here because some people here know stuff about electronics.
Here's my problem. I have an mp3 jukebox on my home theater system. The hardware (decoder) was found on ebay. Pretty nice. All I had to do was supply the power, lcd, buttons, and cd drive. It had a warranty, I think the company that made the set-top box must have made a mistake and needed money back on left over stock.
Ok, it has 5 buttons. previous, stop, play, next, menu. I also currently have a toggle switch on the backlit LCD.
here's what I want. I just want a remote control, whether IR or radio, with 6 buttons. One for each of the abilities above. I'd like to learn about 555 timers and hook up the lcd backlight to a timer. The backlight can;t stay on otherwise it gets really hot, but it is nice for reading the title of the song form accross the room. So a 10 sec timer would be nice.
My question is, how do I do this?
Beley:
