Step 2Solder hook and eye fasteners on remote
Carefully disassemble the remote control. The circuit board is nicely labeled and has 5 buttons and a hold switch. You will need to solder the eye fasters on the circuit board so the thread can be tied to something. The right side of each button dot is the power and the left is the specific function. So any right side can be connected to a function on the left side to activate it.
The hold button is a tricky beast. When the arms of the bear are snapped together, the remote is turned on. The two left metal spots need to be connected for the remote to be on. This is usually accomplished by the tiny switch. I would recommend pushing the switch into the hold position (towards the top of the remote control) and soldering a hook or eye to each of the on leads.
It is important to arrange the eye fasteners so that the conductive threads do not cross.
WARNING - Soldering metal of any kind is a dangerous activity. Please use appropriate safety measures to prevent burning and inhaling fumes. Please do not attempt this project if you do not have the appropriate equipment or safety knowlege.
I would recommend just playing around with the remote and figuring out where all the buttons go on your own. It is important to test the remote and all the functions throughout the project in order to catch mistakes quickly. Draw a diagram of where all the eye fasteners will go and a map of where the threads need to go without crossing.
