My dog ate my TV remote - So i turned my Iphone into a SmartRemote

As i was out to do some shoping , my dog decided that my Tv remote was looking so tasty .SO HE ATE IT .

just Look at this :

Anyway , i am a lazy ass , i can't just get up and change my tv , manualy , so i had to improvise something .Made my own remote!

Stuff i needed:

• 2 infrared LED
• 1 x3.5 Stereo jack head
• hot gun and some plastic sticks
• Soldering iron

This thing i am going to make is an IR Blaster .It just emulates an infrared remote control ,taking power from audio jack , converting digital signals into infrared light .

First thing to do is soldering the positive and negative led wires .

You need to connect Led1-to Led2+ Led1+ to Led2-

Like this :

Then connect the wires to Audio Jack Left and right connections . Polarity doesn't mater

After you 've done with the conections , you can now add some melted plastic with hot gun

And you are done !

insert the IR Blaster into your phone audio jack , and find some app on the app store to use .

I recomand ZaZa remote control (IOs &Android)

You need to find the right Tv and model , so it might take a while until the app finds the setings .It will eventually work .

I 'm a complete noob at electronics , but this it's not rocket science , just 30 min of work .
