Hi. I've found this Kit that will work for controlling a motorized pot (building a preamp). I'd like to transfer the transmitters IR patterns to a learning remote, but I'm not sure if that will work. I'd be very grateful for any verification that it will or won't, or suggestions for other DIY remote control solutions.

I have seen this kit before on the web. But not knowing what quality the relays are and whether are not I could modify things to the way I wish to use an RC unit in my projects. I decided to design and build my on. check out www.rentron.com they have a full selection of IR and RF remote control ICs, parts, and software.
:cool:
 
I ordered the IR kit from
http://www.kitsrus.com/kits.html#k92

cost me 23$ including shipping

It has 14 buttons on remote and it works by changing 5V->0V on receiver IC pins according to button number.

I planned to use it for volume up/down with high quality motorised pot. I just don't have the pot jet. All the funds have gone to other projects....

Remote is small but very nice and comfortable. I plan to just leave the buttons 13 and 14...

Thanks FBJ, Ergo, and Bernhard :)

The kit I was looking at is also at kitsrus - #72. Peter has a new kit out as well, #142 that looks even better/more flexible. The Velleman kit is gorgeous, but more than I need and a tad expensive. I'm not quite ready to design my own as from parts at Rentron. A couple folks over at http://www.remotecentral.com/ have given me confidence that these kit remote transmitters will indeed program to a commercial learning remote control such as I intend to use. So I think I'll be stoked!
