Today’s IR-based remote controls have little resemblance to their predecessors; it took the convergence of unrelated advances to get us here. Part 1 examined dead-end precursors to our present-day remote-control technology; this part examines the IR-based system now in near-universal use. Back to the future: the convergence of UHF bands, electronic tuning, and LEDs re-opens […]
