Hacking a Remote control
SavannahLion:
That would be an interesting excercise for a tiny microcontroller.
It'd be even more interesting if you added USB capabilities so the PC could power on and reconfigure the T.V. everytime it started.
Not sure how you would handle a situation if you get the T.V. into an incorrect state.
MustardTent:
I don't think there's a real problem with hacking the remote instead of the TV -- it works just fine.
Are you planning on integrating the controls with your cab, or are you going to use the remote normally (ie. in hand)?
Marky_1979:
Sorry Mustard I must be having a dumb moment what do you mean exactly?
And Mountain could you also elaborate on what you were saying
JustMichael:
Forgive me for stating the obvious but have you tried using a "USB IR Blaster" to have the pc change the tv to the correct channel or video input each time the pc is turned on?
Marky_1979:
That sounds ideal more infor please. Is there a web site?
