I have a remote control TV I want to turn on with my clock radio. My first idea was to get the chip out of the remote controller and hard-wire it to send a turn on pulse. The problem is, the IC is no longer available. What I need now is some way to read the code that comes out of the controller and wire up a digital equivalent. I've tried reading the code with a photo diode and scope. The code is quite complex. Is there an easy way to do this? Jerry Willard, Tektronix jerryw@teksce.SCE.TEK.COM.UUCP

What you need: 1 X-10 appliance control ($12) 1 X-10 clock-radio controller module ($35) Plug the TV into the controller, plug into the wall. Plug clock into wall, set time, set alarm time. You are all set! With no messy remote control things! -Dave Dave "mr question" McIntyre | "....say you're thinking about a plate mcintyre@turing.cs.rpi.edu | of shrimp.....and someone says to office : 518-276-8633 | you `plate,' or `shrimp'......" home : 518-271-6664 |
