Super TV-B-Gone Kit
Tired of all those LCD TVs everywhere? Want a break from advertisements while you’re trying to eat? Want to zap screens from across the street? The Super TV-B-Gone kit, from the Maker Shed, is what you need! This ultra-high-power, open source kit version of the popular TV-B-Gone is fun to make and even more fun to use. This version can be used in both “North American/Asia” as well as “Europe/UK” areas (basically, the whole world)! This kit comes unassembled with all necessary parts. Tools and batteries are not included. This is a very simple kit and great for people who have never soldered anything before.

Features

  • Power: 2 AA batteries (not included)
  • Output: 2 narrow-beam and 2 wide-beam IR LEDs
  • Number of TV power codes: 230 total, 115 each for American/Asian and European! You can select which zone you want during kit assembly.
  • This covers pretty much every TV of the following brands, including the latest flat-screens and plasma TVs
  • Make: Disclaimer “Please use your TV-B-Gone for good and not evil (unless it’s funny and even then we don’t necessarily condone it)”

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
