Universal Remote Control
The original requirement came about when the IR remote for my Nikon D70 camera stopped working. Instead of browsing Amazon and purchasing a replacement for £5 I decided to spend several weekends building one of my own.
The long term aim is to put together a universal remote control and the Nikon D70 remote control is the first step. The initial aims is to put together a remote control which can act as a simple trigger for the Nikon D70. The second stage is to allow control from a remote device such as a computer or phone.
