🐍 Circuit Python IR Remote for Apple TV 🍎📺

⚡NEW VIDEO⚡

I think that all Apple TV owners have lost the sleek and slender remote at some point. After losing and finally finding my remote I decided to make my own IR remote for the Apple TV using Circuit Python and a Feather m0 board.

The CircuitPython Show Podcast with Erin St Blaine

Last month I was interviewed by Paul Cutler, the producer of the Circuit Python Show. The podcast is all about CircuitPython, it’s development, use, and growth. The podcast went live on July 19. You can listen here: EPISODE DESCRIPTION Erin St. Blaine joins the show and shares where she finds inspiration, advice for starting Neopixel projects, diffusion tips and tricks, and more. 00:33 Erin’s…

The visualizer UI gets an aesthetic (and functional) overhaul, and the physical interface finally connects to the digital realm! 

A code tutoring session saw us through the successful implementation of the buttons and encoders for the music box interface.

Knocked out the serial DAT parser in TouchDesigner on the quick when it became clear that there was no simple JSON implementation for CircuitPython (yet).

We built the controller logic from the ground up, which ended up being quite simple and painless in the end (due to Jesse actually knowing what he’s doing) and BOOM!!! There we were with out first true working prototype : an actual tangible object that controlled sound and graphics in TouchDesigner. It was simple and janky, but it was actually there. It felt like literally months of clawing around in the dark, grasping at nothingness, finally coalesced into something. I relished the brief moment. 

And then back to the work! Due to some formatting changes to what the music box component expects, it means my ‘digital UI’ is totally scrap moving forward. If we want to tweak the instrument without the physical interface, its going to mean building a new GUI...

After a next steps conversation, I went home and wired up and coded the third input on the device, and put some attention and effort into getting the visualizer up and running with our new controller. This process led to a significant refactor of my data and rendering networks that I feel pretty good about, especially knowing that future inevitable changes will be easier to implement. 

Whew!

Got some new parts in and wired up to the physical interface. Trying out a Metro M0 Express by Adafruit for this stage of the prototyping. The knowledge is finally sinking in, as I was able to get this all connected without referring to an intro to electronics tutorial; a first! 

Threw some rough and dirty code on the board just to make sure the inputs were wired correctly. Things seem to be in order. There’s not much here yet, and I dunno if it would at all be of use or interest to folks, but the repository is live on GitHub (which in itself is yet another thing I’m learning!).
