Hi All,
I lost my remote i got an universal one but the codes or the remote does not working for my TV, I was wondering if possible to build an Arduino device that will be able to search the correct code for my TV and then I will clone it to my remote?
Thanks in advance
As far as I know a TV does not transmit any IR codes so I don't see how an Arduino (or anything else) could figure out the codes that it is responsive to.
The usual process is to identify the make and model of TV and then find that in the list of codes for the universal remote control.

i tried but seem not working, i was wondering if i can make an arduino device, that will try all the codes till it find the right one, and then i will clone it.

What exact model of TV do you have?
And post a link to the datasheet for your universal remote cntrol.
...R
the model is Bush C32109DVB-3D
some code that i found:
correct code for my Bush TV - 0742. Others you may want to try are Bush 0157 246, 263, 377, 037, 064, 065, 310,300,383, 399, 391, 402, 339. or Beko 0125 514, 398. Further, Alba Group are the firm whom own Bush brand amongst others. Google Alba Group to get their site and links to Bush sites.
Thinking more about this it seems to me the sensible thing is to return the remote control and tell the shop it doesn't work. Maybe a different model would.
Or maybe there is a fault in the TV?

I guess theoretically can be done, if I write a sketch that try all the combinations of 4 and 3 digits?
There is an Arduino library (IIRC by Ken Shriff) with codes or remote controls. I imagine it is intended that you select the set of codes for a single device as I doubt if an Arduino has enough memory for all of the codes for all devices.
Perhaps you could identify the code for a common action (such as next channel) and write an Arduino program that contains that code for each of the devices in the library. Then get the program to cycle through the codes slowly - leaving plenty of time for the TV to respond. If one of them works then there's a reasonable chance that you will have identified the set that is suitable for your TV.
Sounds like a very laborious process to me. I think I would just buy another remote control.
And if your existing Universal remote is supposed to work with your TV then I would be very suspicious that the fault lies in the TV, which no amount of Arduino programming would solve.
And are you quite sure that you have correctly selected the proper device on your Universal Remote. It's a very long time since I had one of them and I can't remember if there are any gotchas.
