This soldering kit is a build it yourself version of the TV-B-Gone created by Mitch Altman. You can imagine a dystopian future, filled with televisions, where this kit would be super useful and you'd be a hero for having one. And while maybe that's dramatic, the TV-B-Gone is perfect for playing pranks on your friends during the Super Bowl or getting some peace and quiet during dinner.
The TV-B-Gone is a kit that, when soldered together, allows you to turn off almost any television within 150 feet or more. It works on over 230 total power codes - 115 American/Asian and another 115 European codes. You can select which zone you want during kit assembly. This is an unassembled kit which means that soldering is required - but it is a good beginner kit and a great introduction to soldering in general. The kit is powered by 2x AA batteries (not included) and the output comes from 2x narrow beam IR LEDs and 2x wide-beam IR LEDs. The TV-B-Gone covers almost any television from the brands listed below, including the latest flat-screens and plasma TVs. There is also more info on the TV-B-Gone website. And now for the brands!
