TV-B-Gone
Um grande (de pequenas dimensões) aparelho, totalmente opensource, onde o seu proprietário pode tanto alterar o codigo do microprocessador, como alterar o seu hardware. TV-B-Gone, criado por Mitch Altman, da Cornfield Electronics. Encontra-se à venda por 10$, com apenas 1 LED Infravermelho, mas podes comprar um kit por apenas 19$, com 4 IR.
Já andava atrás dum a alguns dias, por isso aproveitei a oportunidade de a vinda do Mitch ao Codebits, para aprender a fazer um!
Ai tens algumas fotos do meu TV-B-Gone:

It was really fun showing you how to solder at Codebits. You did great! And the TV-B-Gone you built so well so easily turned off all the monitors for the Xbox’s that the Microsoft guy at Codebitgs paid me visit with a scowl on his face.
“I’m from Microsoft, and we have a problem.” It’s probably not very easy to work for Microsoft. So, I told him to put some tape over the remote control sensors on his monitors. His scowl turned into a frown, and he walked away before I could tell him that the TV-B-Gone kits are powerful enough to go through the tape. Oh well.
Anyway, I hope you make some more cool things!
All the best,
Mitch.
