    A thing you have missed is the shields! Shields are a very good add on that can turn your UNO from a prototyping board into the final controller. For example, instead of a cumbersome DIY or a bought CNC controller, you can use a UNO+stepper driver shield to make your own controller! Or a shield to output sound in mp3 format using an SD card and speaker. Or a sensor pack shield (array of sensors). Or a PIC/AtTiny programmer. Or many many many more. I enjoy your videos, so thank you for starting this series! P.D. are you by any chance doing anything related to radio? Not IOT, but stuff like LoRa or the 433mhz radio. Anyways, I'll watch whatever you do. Thanks!

    Nice guide. I built one and used some of your code (without the receiver parts), but I have to aim the remote straight ahead at the TV, and at like a maximum of 1m away for it to work. I used a transmitter I got from some old arduino starting kit though, so maybe that could be the main issue? Does your remote work at longer distances and okay angles?
