Television Remote
The
television remove is an Everyday object that incorporates a large number or
buttons that send a signal to the Television through a part of the circuit
board. The LED display at the end is another output (Image 3c) from the device
once the button is pushed, to show the user that a button has in fact, been
pushed. The sheer number of buttons on this device seems like it would make the
circuit board complicated (Image 3b), but they all link to one another and to
the main point of interest, the transmitter to the television. The remote comes
apart to three or four easy to understand pieces: The front casing, the rubber
button layer, the circuit board, and the back casing to complete the remote. On
closer inspection of the circuit board at the location of buttons, each one is
marked out with the larger shape shown in Image 3b. These make the device
simple to understand where the connection points for the buttons are.
Possible
manipulations for the device included the use of the buttons which are the main
feature of the device, and connecting a large number of LEDs to the device,
manipulating how the button presses light up different number and patterns of
LEDs. This is a simple manipulation, and if chosen can be further developed
through the process. The fact that it is a simple manipulation that can hold a
very impressive effect when enough LEDs are connected together makes it
slightly more impressive. Ideas such as having a pattern of the LEDs playing in
a loop from the Ardiuno that can be changed by pressing different buttons can
create an interesting sight.
