IR Remote volume control/selector box
Trying to find things to make and do but the unknown infection the doctors cannot find makes it so difficult, what with all of my joints seizing up in pain. But I managed, just about, to knock up some remote control boxes which are ideal for valve amps or old solid state amps without remote facilities. It uses a very low cost IR kit from Quasar, kit number 3092, this has 14 outputs so could be useful for other projects. I built two variants and you can see them at:-

Re: IR Remote volume control/selector box
Handy bit of kit, and quite cheap too. That's put in the "must get one one day just incase" box!
For my homemade remotes I use 433MHz or 819MHz RF saves all that pointing about malarkey. I also use rotary encoders for volume etc. makes it more human friendly. BTW the video needs me to sign in to youtu.be. |

Re: IR Remote volume control/selector box
Should be OK now, YouTube seems to have changed and I failed to see the video was still set to private despite initially setting it to public.
