Shrinked TV b gone
Hello and welcome.
I wonder if I could shrink this tv-b-gone v1.2 https://learn.adafruit.com/tv-b-gone-kit/parts-list
to make it as small as possible to fit inside keychain flashlight http://www.clickonway.com/wp-content/up ... hain-0.jpg
I would like to use SMD transistor.
only 2 IR LEDs driven by one transistor (what should i do with unconnected pins? connect them to ground?)
no indicator green LED (leave unconnected pin or connect to GND?)
Use internal uC oscillator which is quite accurate?
Regards

Re: Shrinked TV b gone
You should be able to shrink it considerably with just a 2-led output.. Leave the unused pins unconnected. Don't connect them to ground.

Maybe i will find way to disable those pins in source code ;)

You don't need to do anything with the pins, just don't use them and make your board smaller.Maybe i will find way to disable those pins in source code ;)

Re: Shrinked TV b gone
Do you know how to change source code to use internal uC oscillator? Or it is only a matter of leaving fusebits to use internal clock oscillator because maybe (i don't know) program already has a "#define #define F_CPU 8000000UL" ?franklin97355 wrote: You don't need to do anything with the pins, just don't use them and make your board smaller.

Nice build! I don't think I've ever seen one quite that small.

I used this 3 led keychain

I designed a pcb to match with button placement.
