I have a code where Arduino data (accelerometer movements) pauses and plays a video that is playing on my laptop but, I want it to do the same for a DVD player. Has anyone had any success with controlling a DVD player using Arduino technology?
You have not told us how your DVD player can accept commands from an external device.
...R
Does the DVD player have a remote control so you could use the Arduino to send the play/pause IR remote codes.
I have not bought the DVD player yet. Is there one that would be simpler than another?
There is an Arduino library that can mimic lots of different Infra Red remote controls. I think it is called IrRemote. I have not used it myself.
I suggest you get the library and find out what devices it supports and then buy a compatible DVD player.
