Hi, is there a way you can provide a Fritzing diagram for this project. I want to build this on a solderless breadboard.

Hi, I usually don't use Fritzing for the schematics, but I'll try to provide one soon. I'll keep you updated

Salut Philippe, je pense que ceux-ci peuvent être bien: https://www.amazon.com/Gikfun-Infrared-Emitter-Receiver-Arduino/dp/B01HGIQ8NG/ref=pd_lpo_421_t_0/147-4603935-7816048?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01HGIQ8NG&pd_rd_r=1d7599d8-6598-4df9-87fc-d5a07b164d60&pd_rd_w=4ESdR&pd_rd_wg=vMHFQ&pf_rd_p=fb1e266d-b690-4b4f-b71c-bd35e5395976&pf_rd_r=TMGBHWWA23AV0TFDPTN4&psc=1&refRID=TMGBHWWA23AV0TFDPTN4 Je pense que le project puisse fonctionner avec ton tèlècommande.

Excellent projet. Auriez-vous un lien pour acheter sur amazon : - IR transmitter (generic). J'ai une télécommande Samsung BN59-01300J pour Les téléviseurs QLED Q8 Q9 Series. Pensez-vous que votre projet puisse fonctionner avec ce type de télécommande ? Merci par avance.

Hey, you have fun games during the lockdown. I did something similar, but with several differences. Instead of replacing a broken IR remote control, I wanted to have a single one to control my TV set and my decoder, and I equipped it with 16 buttons. As I have no 3D printer, I made a no-enclosure design, it's quite original. But above all, I used another method to save the battery, more hardware and more brutal : with a pair of FETs (an N-channel and a P-channel), I interrupt the power supply circuit of the Arduino board when no button is pressed. For this, each button is connected to the gate of the N-channel FET by a diode and to the ground by a resistor. The drain of the N-channel FET controls the gate of the P-channel FET through which the board is powered. As soon as a button is pressed, a voltage is applied to the gate of the N-channel FET and the P-channel FET powers the board which sends the IR code to the television set or to the decoder. I'm afraid this solution will stress the Arduino board a bit, I'm waiting to see if it will survive longer than the battery.

Thanks for the suggestions, frenchy22. I could actually go for a 4x4 button matrix in the future, so to increase the available functions. As it concerns battery saving, I'm not very familiar with transistors, but your solution looks like a clever trick. Since I'm using an Arduino Uno, what I will do in the future will be to use the Arduino as a programmer and then extract the ATmega microcontroller and put all the design on a prototyping board. If I can make a decent voltage regulator circuit, I will be able to save more power than with the current configuration.
