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....

@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...

Well, so much for that bright idea. It turns out most (all?) inexpensive lithium cell power banks won't discharge and charge simultaneously. I don't k...

@robo-pi Well done, James! I just realized how much I don't know! Kudos for putting this together and thanks for the introduction to KiCAD. I watched...

Set up the root account from the command line as previously described. Then from the GUI pulldown Preferences --> Raspberry Pi Configuration ->...

@robo-pi As @hunterogold described, all you have to do with Raspbian to enable the root account is, from the pi account, is to type: sudo passwd root ...
