[dorkbotnyc-blabber] [Fwd: digital relay / timer needed for apple tv remote control]

[douglas repetto]

Can someone help Bettina? This is a pretty simple task for a 
microcontroller/Arduino type setup, she just needs a circuit that will 
close a button connection every five seconds... Please contact her 
directly if you can help.

hi douglas,

thanks for your offer to post this request....

to describe the problem:
i have an exhibition opening at the NYPL next week and have a problem
with my five channel slide show, which i can't get synced properly. the
slide shows are running off 5 apple tvs, which i can all control via one
remote control. therefore I can get them all started at the same time,
but even though all of them are set to 5 seconds, they start running out
of sync after a couple of minutes. Looks like either 5 sec setting is
are not exactly 5 sec on each apple tv....

therefore what i need is:
something like a "digital relay" for the apple tv remote control,
something that digitally triggers the forward button every 5 seconds.
and i need to get this done before the end of the week if somehow
possible...otherwise for monday....and it would be great to get an
estimate of the costs...

best,
bettina
