About the TV-B-Gone kit V2 PCB
TV-B-Gone kit V2 is an open source PCB design by maltman23, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 59.9 × 49.3 mm, with 16 components from 11 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TSOP38238. By type, the board carries 6 resistors, 4 LEDs, 2 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 transistor and 1 switch.
From the project
TV-B-Gone kit V2
The original (V1.2) TV-B-Gone kit is still available at Adafruit.
I am currently working on a new (V2) TV-B-Gone kit. I am now on the second iteration, using a small-form ESP32 board, making it easier to solder, and easier to re-program for total beginners. This new version also uses a MOSFET, which allows for fewer parts, and allows for a longer range for turning off TVs in public places!
