Hi guys,

Do any of you know the manufatures code for a google chromecast remote?
Firexample NEC, SONY, RC5 etc.

Thanks

If you mean IR encoding, AFAIK Google Chromecast remote is Bluetooth.
Its IR section is just for TV or soundbars or a receiver.

Well, it wasn't me talking about Google Chromecast Remote, it's in your question:

So, are YOU talking about that device? And please better explain what you need to do (and how Arduino is involved in that).

Did some research on that topic, and something about HDMI-CEC came up….
It might, or it might not… :thinking:

Ok, but HDMI-CEC is an HDMI extension to control devices connected via HDMI and, unless the OP will provide more details abount what is needed, the whole question doesn't seem to have anything to do with to Arduino at all.

Sorry, I didn't mention that my controller had broken and I wanted to make one with a IR LED and a remote from amazon. I just need the manufactures code.

Thanks

You keep confusing me, sorry, what do you mean with "controller" now?

If you still mean the Chromecast remote I think you can't replace it with Arduino and an IR LED, because (as far as I know about it, because I have another Chromecast version) it's a Bluetooth remote. Its IR feature is used to control TV sets, soundbars, etc, not the Chromecast, so your only solution is either find a remote replacement or use your smartphone.

Just for completeness, I think Google used Bluetooth to control that Chromecast because the device is plugged on a TV HDMI port, so it's almost ever hidden behind the TV and an IR signal could be hardly received, giving it a poor communication efficiency. With Bluetooth this issue is automatically solved, and it lets the designers add some other features like voice control (you can't actually pass it via IR, at least not with standard IR signals).

Hope it helps, but sorry if it isn't the reply you expected... :wink:
