File:Nerf Disk Shot Remote

Description
This video demonstrates alternate means of controlling a Nerf Disk Shot (clay-pigeon-style target launcher) if you've got one that has no remote control.

Power Supply, if you need one, is part number Bl13-060220-AdU (searching ebay for that will yield better results than "nerf disk shot power supply", since the people selling them have no clue what they are)

Verbose version of this project can be found on https://nerf.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:74834

irplus (excellent free app) site page is https://irplus-remote.github.io/ and can of course be found in the app store or google play. If you're using "irplus WAVE" to drive a homemade headphone-jack IR blaster, you'll probably want to use the app just to program a $3 learning remote, since the headphone-jack transmitter seems to have an effective range of about 5 inches.

Last but not least, here is the XML contents of NerfDiskShot.irplus, which, when imported into irplus, shows the two-button interface seen in the video:

&lt;irplus&gt; &lt;device manufacturer="Hasbro" model="Nerf Disk Shot" columns="1" format="WINLIRC_RAW" repeatheader="false"&gt;

&lt;button label="MOVE &amp;#1044925;" labelSize="48.0" backgroundColor="FF7C4242"&gt; 5400 1040 1040 1040 2080 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 2080 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 &lt;/button&gt;

&lt;button label="LAUNCH &amp;#1044924;" labelSize="48.0" backgroundColor="FF428442"&gt; 5400 1040 2080 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 2080 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 1040 &lt;/button&gt;

&lt;/device&gt; &lt;/irplus&gt;

P.S. Sorry 'bout that aspect ratio; my video splicer decided to silly-putty the parts that were shot in portrait mode when I merged them.

P.P.S. google voice DOES work; it's kinda weird, you have to program a "macro" in irplus, teach it the phrase you want to trigger it, and then tell it what device and button you want it to activate when it hears that phrase. Wasn't working for me in the video since I had no wifi AND it was loud/windy out. It's a novel but rather pointless idea for this application anyway, since you still have to tap a button to make it listen to you...
