| Hacking a Remote control |

| MustardTent:
The IR blaster is nice, but not nearly as fun to do (no hacking required). Anyway, what I meant was that if you were to use the remote as your manner of controlling the TV, you could solder pushbuttons to the PCB in the remote and incorporate TV controls in your CP (mine are underneath -- 3 buttons: power, vol up, vol down). Or, you could just use the remote as you normally would. |

Yes if this IR Blaster isn't what im looking for im definately looking at doing that 4 buttons POWER, VOL + VOL - and A/V CHANNEL CHANGE. If I were to go down this route how would I do that? |
| Marky_1979:
If Iwere to hack the remote which end is the ground and which the one I connect to the push button? |
| mountain:
Ground does not matter here. You just want to "emulate" what the remote button does. Just connect each wire from the button to either contact on the remote. |
| NickG:
if one side of the contacts even goes to "ground" you should be able to register a button press by shorting a wire from the battery minus (cathode) and the other side of the contact, and touching the other side of the contact pad should not do anything - if it really already is shorted to ground by a PCB trace... |
