The first prototype UAV is built on a Lite Machines 110 remote control helicopter. The choice of the LM-110 is an ideal platform for debugging both the autopilot and the command and control software. It has nearly indestructable, full flapping plastic rotor blades and can take nearly any abuse from “software bugs” or Pilot Error. [more]

This is an USB HID gadget, capable of converting CIR signals from a remote control to keystrokes and/or mouse movements. It uses an ATMega8 AVR microcontroller and the Objective Development firmware-only USB driver stack.The device contains a TSOP1738 infrared receiver & demodulator, which picks up the signals from the remote control. The microcontroller implements a combo HID device, simulating both a mouse and a keyboard. This way it can send mouse movements, button clicks and keystrokes (such as PageUp, PageDown, Enter, Escape, etc.) to the PC. [more]

This is a tutorial how to control an iPod with Arduino and remote to getting some music and sound.They use an unofficial remote control that found on the worldwide auction site for around 10 USD. TIL116 opto-isolator used between the Arduino and the remote to safely send signals in between the two. The remote works by you pushing a button which closes a circuit and that is interpreted in a certain way by the iPod.[more]

The circuit receives IR signals from existing remote controls and displays the waveform. It also attempts to categorize the signal based on several characteristics. The user can additionaly interpret or tweak the parameters determined and store the information in a configuration file. This file will form the database of IR signals for any future applications. An analysis of various IR signals using this system is presented in another section. This project started as a way to send IR remote control signals from a PC to control hi-fi equipment, etc. A front-end program written in java will run on the PC and communicate with a PIC based circuit via the serial port. The PIC based circuit listens to commands on the serial port and sends out the IR signals. [more]
