Hi.
Basically what I'm doing is building a patch panel/AV switch, and I want
a way to display what input is currently selected. I'm considering a
piece of plastic with letters/words such as "DVD" cut out/made
transperant, and putting a LED behind them. But I can't think of a way
to take opaque material and make the displays transparent, or take a
transparent material and mack the background opaque. Any suggestions? Or
an alternate display idea?
Also, I'd like a way replaying pre-recorded infrared remote control
signals. I know I'll probably need a microcontroller/PIC to accomplish
this, but I don't have any programming hardware. The AVR series looks
good because a programmer can easily be built. Any pointers on
accomplishing this?
Thanks
Nick.
