Greetings everybody,
I’m soliciting information and advice for a Home Entertainment System Controller project.
What I would like this controller to do:
communicate with an Extron 6400 matrix switcher through RS232 port to change preset
communicate with switched rack PDU (APC AP 7901) through Ethernet port to power on the system
I have an iPhone, iPad, and URC MX-950 Aurora IR/RF Remote Control
I would like to control the system with one of these, if possible
Any recommendations on which board to use?
What skills do I need to learn?
By way of background, I did have some coursework for electronics and computer programming, but that wasn't my principal focus.
