the power of the remote // il potere del telecomando - arduino day 2014 rome
DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple lesson I've done in Rome during the Arduino day on March 29th, 2014. You can go through my presentation, talking about the cultural, historical and social value of the IR power and protocols. The practical part It setups basic circuit for tseting one of the most common examples of the IRremote library by Ken Shirrif letting Arduino sniff a button and reproduce it by itself. The Cover of this lesson is an italian comic I've been reading in my teenage. It's called “X Zone” (Zona X, in italian) and is a side publication of “Martin Mystére, the Impossible's Detective”. The comic book has been written by Alfredo Castelli and drawn by Giancarlo Alessandrini, edited in italy by Sergio Bonelli. The link to the publication is not just a title matching my presentation but means a lot to me: most of the concepts, metaphors and ideas I've faced by reading this comic book are present in my daily thoughts today.TRANSCRIPT
Il potere del Telecomando The power of the Remote

This is a very simple lesson I've done in Rome during the Arduino day on March 29th, 2014. The Cover of this lesson is an italian comic I've been reading in my teenage. It's called “X Zone” (Zona X, in italian) and is a side publication of “Martin Mystére, the Impossible's Detective”. The comic book has been written by Alfredo Castelli and drawn by Giancarlo Alessandrini, edited in italy by Sergio Bonelli. The link to the publication is not just a title matching my presentation but means a lot to me: most of the concepts, metaphors and ideas I've faced by reading this comic book are present in my daily thoughts today.

“In the 1980s Steve Wozniak of Apple started a company named CL 9. The purpose of this company was to create a remote control that could operate multiple electronic devices. The CORE unit (Controller Of Remote Equipment) was introduced in the fall of 1987. The advantage to this remote controller was that it could “learn” remote signals from different devices. It had the ability to perform specific or multiple functions at various times with its built-in clock. It was the first remote control that could be linked to a computer and loaded with updated software code as needed.”
