This Arduino Leonardo project enables remote control functionality for the PlayStation 4 using an infrared (IR) remote. With this setup, you can easily navigate through various media applications on the PlayStation 4, including movies, TV shows, and music. Additionally, the remote control can be connected to a computer for extended functionality.
-
PlayStation 4 Control: Use a compatible infrared remote control to navigate and control media playback on your PlayStation 4.
-
Media Applications: Access and control movie, TV show, and music applications with ease.
-
Computer Connectivity: Connect the remote control to a computer for extended functionality and customization.
Before getting started, ensure you have the following:
- Arduino Leonardo board
- Infrared (IR) receiver module
- Compatible infrared remote control
- USB cable for Arduino Leonardo
- Arduino IDE installed on your computer
-
Connect the IR receiver module to the Arduino Leonardo board.
-
Upload the provided Arduino sketch (
RemoteStation.ino) to your Arduino Leonardo using the Arduino IDE. -
Power the Arduino Leonardo via USB.
-
Point your infrared remote control towards the IR receiver module and start controlling your PlayStation 4.
If you want to connect the remote control to a computer, follow these steps:
-
Connect the Arduino Leonardo to your computer using the USB cable.
-
Install the necessary drivers for the Arduino Leonardo.
-
Open a serial communication terminal on your computer to receive and process remote control inputs.
-
Customize the Arduino sketch (
RemoteHEX.h) to map remote control buttons to specific PlayStation 4 commands or computer functions. -
Ensure that your PlayStation 4 and computer are compatible with the infrared remote control.
