From Mitch Altman (Cornfield Electronics) an Lady Ada (Adafruit Industries), here comes the TV-B-Gone® kit !

This is definitely a good way to learn how to solder and have (lot of) fun.

TV-B-Gone® is a type of Universal Remote Control which works by shining pulses of invisible light that tells most any TV to turn off or on. This remote control only has a power button that allows you to switch a TV on or off, up to 150 feet. You control when you see, rather than what you see, wherever you go: airports, bars, restaurants, laundromats, etc.

Excellent!! Tellement de succès que je l'ai offert à mon meilleur ami....
Enfin la liberté d'éteindre ces écrans que personne ne regarde et qui nous polluent l'existence...
