Something interesting I noticed recently in the technology space was the way people reacted to the announcement of a media remote accessory for the upcoming PS5 game console. It caused way more of a reaction than you would expect from a remote, but the truth is that Sony-made remotes tend to be very useful and very high quality.
Unfortunately, the older versions of these devices don’t support modern electronics, so they’ve become obsolete. Thankfully, Remote Mods has managed to come up with a solution that doesn’t send these high-quality devices to the landfill.
The Sony RM-Y901 Programmable Remote with Atmega328PB retains everything you love about the build, buttons, and responsiveness of a Sony remote, but replaces the interior electronics with something more modern, namely an Atmega328PB. A castellated board replaces the sock microcontroller inside of this remote. You can program it using a Pogo pin adapter, which is included with every purchase while quantities last. If you already have one of these remotes, you can also purchase the replacement board separately.
Using the included source code, you can program codes, protocols, and devices into this remote, which features 50 buttons and lightweight design. We all dream of a universal remote that replaces multiple devices with a single one. That time, it seems, has finally arrived.
