Infra-Red Transmitter
This project uses a Microchip PIC microcontroller and an Infra-Red LED to act as a PC controlled cable TV changer.It’s use to change channels on the cable TV set-top box when making a recording.A very simple program on the computer sends the channel number over RS232 to this PIC based IR transmitter which creates the correct waveform for the digits to be sent.

Infra/radio remote control transmitter/receiver with PIC
This is a general purpose remote control project with using programmable PIC microcontrollers. This project can be used with infrared (RF) or radio (RF) media. If you are not familiar with microcontroller programming, you can use fixed encoder and decoder integrated circuits instead. Well-known such IC-s are Holtek HT-12D, HT-12E and Motorola MC145026, MC145027, MC145028.[more]

Computer-Controlled R/C Car with Camera
Control a remote controlled car with your computer using Microsoft Robotics Studio. Then, add a wireless IP camera for stealthy remote operation.You Will Need a remote-controlled vehicle with a digital controller. That is, a controller that uses switches for orward/backward/left/right, not potentiometers. The car used in this article is a vehicle from the โDub Cityโ collection by Jada Toys.[more]
