I really like your content man, the video style is kind of old school UA-cam (the best time of UA-cam) I kind off feel nostalgic 👍 and I really miss these kinds of videos
For ultimate battery saving mode you can try this The use a transistor for a main switch just after the battery The same button you are using for Remote control use same ones to connect to the base of the transistor That way battery will be always disconnected when not it use Learned this trick from all time favourite elecronoob
Hmm, that's an interesting idea. My only concern is that it takes some time for the device to boot up and I would think that by the time it does the button will not be pressed anymore and the device will turn off. I will definitely be looking into this though! Thanks for the tip
Project looks very interesting! I also really liked the way you edited it! I wanted to build this myself, but since I'm an electronics noob I got really fuzzy when I saw the diagram (also because it was arranged differently than the real thing you made -- which i assume is normal but looks scary to me). Anyways, was thinking about if that's possible for you to make some sort of tutorial on how to connect those wires, also giving explanations on why you do each thing and stuff like that, so that we can also learn from it :). Your videos are great! I've binged them all in the past hour, keep on!
Thank you! I have a full time job so making one video takes up most of my spare time unfortunately 😝 my suggestion would be to go and seek out more info on the individual parts and then hopefully they make sense when put together 👍
Just found your channel. I really like these cheap projects to learn more about engineering. If possible can you explain more about how the parts work?
Give me more content! More! Mooorrrrrrrrrrrre!!!!1! Also liked the spotify player and would love to see some kind of ESP32 Alexa but for dogs (barks back). Keep up the good work :)
Love your content finally decided i wanted to make it and was just wondering if you could show the other side of the PCB board just want to make sure I wired correctly
u look like a really passionate guy and have great idea filming ideas but overall you can really improve you filming and editing skills. your projects and their implementation is great.
Nice guide. I built one and used some of your code (without the receiver parts), but I have to aim the remote straight ahead at the TV, and at like a maximum of 1m away for it to work. I used a transmitter I got from some old arduino starting kit though, so maybe that could be the main issue? Does your remote work at longer distances and okay angles?
Very good video quality overall, i think any valuable feedback i could give is to focus on delivering information without wasting too much time on making the video entertaining, i enjoy your style however it got in the way of the video too much sometimes
just starting right now. Is there a way to connect it to 12volt or even better to 230v instead a battery? and .. i just want to build a Panel with custom buttons in my studio desk, is there kind of a way to install buttons away from the circuit board? or how will things like that be realised?
The diodes are used so that all buttons can pull pin 2 to ground but not any others. I had to do that because pin 2 is the pin that will wake the device from deep sleep.
hey i know this is maybe astupid question but i am new... do i nee do solder the components to the board or is it enough to just stick the contacts through the contact holes
@@makeit4less Probably worth replacing the link to the 5v version with the correct version. I bought what you linked to and I'm now having issues due to the fact that the board is a 5v version and the battery is at around 3.3. I do realize I could've done some more research but I just assumed your links were correct.

Awesome project, would love to see more of your assembly process next time, but I'm looking forward to your next video!
Hopefully you'll like the changes in my new video!

Great video!
You deserve all the subscribers in the world!

@@makeit4less gotcha, thanks alot for what you do :)
With a cheap rechargeable Lithium battery and a cheap recharging board you could make this thing rechargeable which would be even better
That would be an awesome improvement!
An MH-CD42 is great for everyone looking to rebuild this using lithium batteries. I know i will
Dude that was informative and hilarious. Loved your sense of humour!
Destroying your remotes has to be worth at least a like right?
Haha I'm glad sacrificing the remote was worth it!
You have my sub! Funny and informative, the only way to learn
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
that looks like a cute little project. might actually build something like this too.
This is absolutely incredible! Did you forget the FTDI breakout thing though? It wasn't in the list.
Good catch! I did forget and just added a link to it.

New video should be out this Saturday! Also that is a funny idea, I will remember it

Make the videos longer I want to follow along!
I'll keep that in mind on my next one! Thanks for the feedback!
Finding the electrical components around the house has me rolling 😭😭
Amazing man, best way to learn IOT
Thank you!

your projects and their implementation is great.
I definitely agree, hopefully my future videos only get better and better!
Easy for you to say… maybe one day you can go over the i/o required for up/downloading files to the boards.
I enjoy your content! Great humor, keep it up+

Hmm I definitely had slightly better range than that but there were differences depending on the receiver.
262 subscribers meanwhile the videos are amazing. youtube at its best
Thank you for the kind words! I'm trying my best and hopefully that subscriber count keeps growing

Thank you for the feedback! I'm still trying to find what works and appreciate a nudge in the right direction!
Gave a like bc of the frozen buttons, that was lit
I was really happy with how that worked out!
Thanks for your video. One Question. What’s the diodes utility in this circuit? Thanks a lot.
frozen buttons made me chuckle.
Thank you! I thought it was a cool shot 😎
bro ur so smart lol damn. jealous fr, keep up the cool ideas!!!! these are mad entertaining to watch haha
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love this channel
Thank you!
Very awesome project was just wondering if I could pause things like older brothers? Just curious
Depends on whether he is an android or not 🤣
Awesome video! I love when stuff like this is explained in a simple way. Well done.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
my guy froze 6 switches for a video lol
just starting right now. Is there a way to connect it to 12volt or even better to 230v instead a battery? and .. i just want to build a Panel with custom buttons in my studio desk, is there kind of a way to install buttons away from the circuit board? or how will things like that be realised?
You only need the buttons. No diod, no resistor. Use internal pull up and maybe denounce.
Or I'm wrong 😅
The diodes are used so that all buttons can pull pin 2 to ground but not any others. I had to do that because pin 2 is the pin that will wake the device from deep sleep.
@@makeit4less can i use 4 pin buttons? i also used arduino mini pro clone, it has the acc pin, not the vcc, can i replace it with gnd entry?
@@makeit4less pls reply
Amazing stuff
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Trying to figure out how the buttons work using the schematic twisted and warped my brain..... but in a good way.
What is the purpose of the capacitor used here ? (Sorry I’m new to electronics)
Can i make it with esp8266 board ? please reply 🙏
Schematic diagram not clear,IR LED’s positive terminal connected to arduino’s ground,buttons connection also not clear! 4:03
Can i use raspberry pi pico for this project?
hey i know this is maybe astupid question but i am new... do i nee do solder the components to the board or is it enough to just stick the contacts through the contact holes
It might work for a second but the solder makes sure the connections stay together!
would this work on Arduino Nano as well? It has similar pinout
I'm not 100% sure. There is some code for low power operation that I believe is specific to the pro mini.
Can this stuff be done using Mac?
Yes, the Arduino IDE is also available on Mac!
can we reset the buttons
Which version of pro mini 5v or 3v used in the project?
Please reply
3.3v
@@makeit4less 👍🏻
@@makeit4less Probably worth replacing the link to the 5v version with the correct version. I bought what you linked to and I'm now having issues due to the fact that the board is a 5v version and the battery is at around 3.3.

Oh, I did not realize that. I will fix that ASAP. Thanks for the heads up
I like your shtick! :D
Thank you!
Which version of pro mini is used in the project, 3.3v or 5v?
I agree with others, you can give the list of components but no need to have every single item come with gag.
Yeah, it was something I wanted to try that didn't quite work out 😝
Bro can I make this project in without use diode please reply bro
No, the diodes are a necessary part of the circuit
@@makeit4less can I use any diode
Most will probably work but I have only tested with the one in the video
How to add more bottons in this circuit please reply bro
6 was the most I could get to work but in theory you could copy the circuit to the other input pins
@@makeit4less why your are not using the Arduino nano board
@@makeit4less also edit the program right
The pro micro has better low power performance 👍
@@makeit4less when I add 3 more botton to the circuit,it requires only 3v ?
Which ide do you use?
It's just the regular Arduino ide, or you can get a plug in for visual studio code
bro really broke a remote for a video, good video tho
Lol, hope it was worth it!
Nice
Glad you liked it!
@@makeit4less no thank you for the video
@@makeit4less have a great day and a good year
Good video but that is not only $10 that is like $60
So inspiring to see a successful LGBTQ+ UA-camr 🏳️🌈❤️
haha love this channel. new sub indeed 👍
