I don’t necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.
I’d probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.
I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.
I’ve since moved on to the RG405M.
What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?
Would love to see photos as well
Maybe my little DIY walnut cased ESP32 universal remote
The inside - I hope y’all like cable management!
I can’t tell you how much joy I get at the crossroads between technology and woodworking. This is an excellent choice.
Loving the look is this. Got a guide for making one?
Thanks! Fraid not, it came together pretty ad hoc as I was building it.
Essentially the process was breadboarding the major components to get them talking and sort out the software, then built the main board to hold everything in position, then built the box to fit around it all
Better charge that thing!
Is this universal remote in terms of IR to your TV, or more like connecting to Plex/Kodi/etc?
Yeah the battery management board is a bit flaky so keeping it charged is a pain! Yeah it’s just doing IR for the various living room devices, sound system, TV etc so I didn’t have to keep tabs on 4 different remotes
Ah that’s really cool!
Is it nice to use? For a bit I used a Kodi app on my phone but it gets annoying having to unlock your phone, open the app, then hit pause or whatever you’re wanting to do. I presume this is much nicer.
Its great to hold! Very chunky in the hand. Functionality wise I only gave it the on/off, volume and input selection from the media devices, and then it talks to another esp32 base unit that controls some lighting over WiFi, but as far as actually driving the media controls I shamefully just use the Google Chromecast controls, I’m not savvy enough to set up a FOSS alternative yet
I LOVE this. I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every single media/pc remote available, and they all suck for one reason or another. Been thinking about building my own, and this is totally the direction I would go. Thanks for the inspiration!!
