It is a very nice project. As far as I know, Arduino has the ability to manage IR send/receive and I have already done something like this. On the other side, there was a general-purpose (no branded) IR TV controller. There are specifications on the protocol to be used and the encoding adopted by all the Ir producers so I don't see problems to move the project on the Arduino platform. Or I have missed something?

Can this run on a smaller micro controller, say a Arduino nano?

Very interesting. I have often thought of doing something similar but never got around to it. It looks good.

This is a cool project, demonstrating this useful concept. Well done!

I used a very similar concept on a commercial product, where we used this functionality to do functions like firmware upgrades, lock/unlock features and to activate features and take internal measurements while testing/burning the devices. This was a great way to make a clean and connector-less product, but still have complete access to the device.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Frank,

It looks like a very compact, fun project, and clearly the communication scheme works well for this application too, which is great to see!
