My 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver, Universal on/off "remote"

Hey guys! I wanted to share this with everyone.

I made this 4~ months before any information about the "Official" Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote came out. I even posted a mini tutorial on YouTube. About 2 months later they bring out the information. Coincidence? Maybe... =P

*cough* you can look at the upload date and whenever the SS Universal Remote info came out if you want proof *clears throat*

Hehe. Anyways, this will cost roughly $50, 0% soldering experience (I had none whatsoever before starting the screwdriver) and about 3 days (since you dont have experience.)

I REALLY need to make a new tutorial but I've been busy with projects.

This Sonic Screwdriver will allow you to turn ON and OFF almost every TV in the Universe! And quite possibly every Multiverse!! :thumbsup

You basically compress a TV-B-Gone Kit into the 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver toy. Yes, toy. But it is VERY convincing! A few coats of paint, sand the "emerald" to get it kind of cloudy and WAMMO.

It isnt EXACTLY Step by Step, however, I DO add my schematic.

$100 + shipping for a Sonic Screwdriver that you must program and that someone else made, or a $50 Sonic Screwdriver you can use on almost ANY TV in the WORLD to turn ON and OFF (Extremely fun at Best Buy *cough cough*

If you dont mind, just watch the video. It basically has every picture in it that I took while making it. Each picture new pictures shows up every 5~ seconds I think, so make sure you pause each step. When I get a chance, I will put out a audible tutorial instead of a pictorial one.

I got my TV-B-Gone from :https://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_tvbg_buy.tvbgkit.php

And my Sonic Screwdriver on Amazon.

-Cant find my Best Buy video.

These can be watched in either order. The last is really the tutorial.

I hope this helps anyone who is planning on being the Doctor and/or otherwise wanting to...help companies save electricity... yeah...helping them save energy... he he he... :love

Im afraid that is all it does. But you can turn off and on, almost every TV in the world. Only a few brands dont work. Apposed to the Official Sonic Screwdriver Remote, which must be programmed each time you change the tv.

I agree that changing channels and volume would be MUCH cooler. But if you want to run around the mall (or wherever) with a sonic with the ability to turn ON and OFF all TVs, for $50, without the need to program, that's not too bad.

Sorry for the redundancy.
 
A fun prank sonic. Turn people's TV's off and when they accuse you just say "you don't believe this is actually real do you?" :lol
 
A fun prank indeed! There's just something different about using the Sonic for turning off multiple TVs at once instead of just a tv-b-gone. The power!!! haha
 
I know this is a very old thread, but I just stumbled across it, and was so thrilled by it I quickly created an account just to send you this message. I would love to purchase one of these, and I hope you notice this post! If not I'll try to figure out how to send you a message.
Thank you for your brilliance!!
