Arduino Playground is read-only starting December 31st, 2018. For more info please look at this Forum Post

This is a work in progress of how I made my universal remote to control my TV, Mac mini, Direct TV, and surround sound all from my iPhone.

Here is the gist of how the project works: A virtual machine of Ubuntu 12.04 running Nginx hosts the website which is the interface for the universal remote. With the push of a button on the website the website sends a command to the Arduino. The Arduino receives the command from its ethernet shield and then uses the IRremote library to interpret the command as a IR signal.

On a small board I attached an IR receiver and transmitter like so:

Receiver

ARDUINO PIN 11 -----330R---- IR REC PIN1

ARDUINO PIN GND ------------- IR REC PIN2

ARDUINO PIN 5V----------------- IR REC PIN3

Transmitter

ARDUINO PIN PWM 3 --------- IR TRAN long pin

ARDUINO GND -------330R----- IR TRAN short pin

I got my parts from SparkFun. Here is the receiver transmitter I got: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/241

Here is the web interface that runs on my Nginx web server:
