Before I start , thanks for the advice sofar - very helpful.

I have an idea for one of my Uni projects. I dont know if its feasable- I
wonder if you could enlighten me.

I would like to merge a 1 button remote light controller into a allinone TV
remote controller. So to have one handset with the 2 functions.

What would be the easiest way in doing this?

I would think the options would be

a. merge the light pcb onto the allinone pcb
b. keep the two pcbs seperate but keep them in 1 controller case
c. start from the beginning and build a pcb that captures all the operations
of the 2 remotes
d. is there a way of capturing the IR frequency of the light handset (so as
to assign the on/off light capability to a button on the allinone remote)

I have the capability to build my own remote handset case (thanks to a rapid
prototyper).

These are just a few thoughts.

Any advice would be very greatfully accepted.

Thanks in advance.
