SUPER TV B-GONE! A hilarious Recommendation for a Pranking BOE-BOT Project.

NinjaTech

Try this! A funny gadget which lets you turn off almost every TV! If you hack it up and·interface it to a MCU like the basic stamp or replace the connections of the switch and connect it to your BOE-BOT. You can turn off the TV and time with your BOE-BOT.

I think I'm going to buy this kit·and interface it with my BOE-BOT.
It'll be hilarious to see a Ninja BOE-BOT turning off the TV.

Buy it here!

If anyone can try to wire up some IR LEDS to a BS2, and find the right pulse signals, it could be a DIY TV b gone!

First one to do this let me know!!!

P.S.

It has already been done with the arduino

"If anyone can try to wire up some IR LEDS to a BS2, and find the right pulse signals, it could be a DIY TV b gone! " - this shouldn't be too difficult. A quick Google search brings up this ...

... If you follow it towards the bottom you will see firmware, which contains the power codes you need.

Thanks Man! One quick question, Do u know at all how to interperet Arduino Code to PBASIC 2.5?

Thnx!

Mike Green

nrsmac,
You will have to learn both the Arduino's C++ subset / libraries and the Stamp's PBasic 2.5 to translate between the two. It's possible to write a guide to how to do it, but there are a lot of details and it would be a lot of work to make such a guide.

There's another thread on an Arduino compatibility library for the Propeller, but it's still not a complete rote translation. You have to understand something about the program and the two languages.

how would you suggest opening this file?

the NAcodes.c file is the one im refering to
Im running windows 7

graffix,

It's just a text file... open it with notepad. :-)

@Beau: Or, for that matter, you can download Notepad++ and get syntax highlighting that will make the code easier to read.

Thanks I'll give it a try

The SX-B...is basic code... Pretty easy to convert to BS2 code.

JonnyMac wrote some SIRC stuff for the Propeller back in 09' too.

Can someone please post BS2 code somewhere in the forum?
