Anyway , i am a lazy ass , i can't just get up and change my tv , manualy , so i had to improvise something .Made my own remote!
Stuff i needed:
- 2 infrared LED
- 1 x3.5 Stereo jack head
- hot gun and some plastic sticks
- Soldering iron
This thing i am going to make is an IR Blaster .It just emulates an infrared remote control ,taking power from audio jack , converting digital signals into infrared light .
First thing to do is soldering the positive and negative led wires .
You need to connect Led1-to Led2+ Led1+ to Led2-
Like this :
Then connect the wires to Audio Jack Left and right connections . Polarity doesn't mater
Like this :
After you 've done with the conections , you can now add some melted plastic with hot gun
And you are done !
insert the IR Blaster into your phone audio jack , and find some app on the app store to use .
I recomand ZaZa remote control (IOs &Android)
You need to find the right Tv and model , so it might take a while until the app finds the setings .It will eventually work .
I 'm a complete noob at electronics , but this it's not rocket science , just 30 min of work .
