TV-B-Gone Coffee Cup

Step 6Have fun!

Have fun!
Test the TV-B-Gone and adjust the IR emitter alignment as needed. I found that the cup really didn't work well at my local mall because the TVs were well above eye level. I still have to try the cup at other locations.

Here's what I might change:
-desolder the pushbutton and mount it on the side of the cup so takes a gentle press of the thumb to activate - a much more natural action.
-take a picture of a cup of coffee from the top and lay it over the top of the newspaper.

A video is forthcoming. Please leave any comments about how you would improve this project! Thanks!

You could even insert a smaller coffee cup inside this larger one, and fill it with REAL COFFEE .. a win/win scenario .. :-)
