I must confess, I never thought of such a thing, until… my friend Fernando Mendes (Cowork_LX) came to me with this crazy idea! I [...]

Enjoy :D ___________________________________________________________________________ This is my first attempt to make a custom remote controller, and also my first customized Arduino.
