Thanks for pointing out my oversight. I thought I had everything, but I missed the sensor. I updated that site so it's there now. I used a KY-022 37...

I'll up your lockdown and raise you a "state of emergency" (which we are currently under.) Not a lot of fun. I don't think this project is going any...

@byron I moved this project to a NANO from a UNO and posted all the detail here: This is as good as it gets. I don't know if it of any use to anyone...

@byron (and anyone else that is interested.) Finally got my universal remote control programmer thing finished. I have to credit Bill's video for ins...

The best thing to do is keep busy and try to avoid all the disinformation and misinformation (there’s a difference and I had to look it up.) I am fine...

Oh, the errors on the IRremote.h compile is not an issue. They are part of an unimplemented debugging code section that seem to not get along with th...

Problem solved! It was hardware. The IR receiver I am using is one from an Elegoo 37-part kit and not very good. The problem was exacerbated by my sp...

@byron thanks for the suggestion. I hate to abandon the Arduino approach, but I seem to be out of options. I do have a spare Pi, so that might be th...

For what it's worth, this seems limited to remotes that use the NEC codes. They are 32-bit and Sony is 12-bit. I tried using long int and unsigned l...

NRF24s look interesting, but I'm sort of going down the general-purpose road of repurposing any surplus IR remote. What the end-user does with the si...

Just a note to @a-wal16 et. al. I haven't forgotten this project, and it's coming along fine. Slower than I thought, but it shall be completed soon....

@byron don't mortgage your house and liquidate all of your retirement savings to invest in this quite yet! ? BUT, I have it working in 3 separate sket...

@a-wal16 I agree with @pugwash and @byron that you are probably unlikely to achieve what you want. I think the best you can do is program an Arduino t...

@a-wal16 I think any IR remote will work. You have to figure out the codes each button generates. In the video you mentioned initially, the presenter ...

@a-wal16 you are certainly on the right track. Near the end of Bill's video, he shows how to control a couple of LEDs, turn a TV on and off, and contr...
