The remote is easily one of the greatest inventions of the modern age. There’s nothing quite like being able to control something from a distance, especially when you don’t feel like getting up. In their pursuit of controlling every home electronic with Raspberry Pi, BitTradeOne has created a universal remote expansion board to make the Pi into one remote to control them all.
You’ll find ten mounted switches on the board with the ability to record infrared remote control operations on the board memory. By combining this with other Raspberry Pis, it’s possible to program multiple advanced control actions like turning on your lights at specific times, as well as simple actions like turning on the TV.
Support for nine infrared light emitting diodes radially offers the ability to send signals no matter where the Pi is pointed. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to upgrade my remote.
