Weather Station
To put a little bit of added functionality into your IR Hacks device, one of the projects we've included is Weather Station. Simply put, Weather Station uses the built-in temperature and heat sensor to give you a reading of your surroundings. Uploading the Project If you haven't already uploaded the Weather Station code to your device, there are two ways to do it: Use amomii Link. amomii Link is our proprietary tool for uploading code directly from our website. a. Go to IR Hacks Link and choose your project. Today we’re picking Weather Station. b. Read about the amomii Link tool. Manual Installation: Go to the Toolbox, download the code and upload it to your device using the Arduino IDE (if you don't know what that means, use option one!)a. Go to Toolbox. What it Does Using the temperature and humidity sensor on the IR Hacks device, the Weather Station gives you a reading of your current surroundings. By default, the temperature is set to Celsius, but if you want it to output in Fahrenheit instead, the SW1 button on the amomii Blink will change that for you.

Calculator
The next project we can add to our IR Hacks device is a simple calculator. Using the number keys for our input, and the A-D keys for the functions, we’ve got a simple, compact device that you can use for all your simple arithmetic needs! Uploading the Project If you haven't already uploaded the Calculator code to your device, there are two ways to do it: Use amomii Link. amomii Link is our proprietary tool for uploading code directly from our website. a. Go to IR Hacks Link and choose your project. Today we’re picking Calculator b. Read about the amomii Link tool. Manual Installation: Go to the Toolbox, download the code and upload it to your device using the Arduino IDE (if you don't know what that means, use option one!)a. Go to Toolbox. How it Works For this calculator, the number keys 0-9 represent the numbers 0-9 (obviously). For the other functions, starting from the bottom left, the * key clears the memory, # is our equals sign, D is +, C is -, B is *, and A is /. From there, it works just like you would expect a calculator to work. It calculates.

Space Invaders
Space Invaders started as an arcade machine all the way back in 1978. One of the first videogame megahits, it has now found its way, after all these years onto the 1.5x2.5cm screen of the amomii Blink. Simple to control, but difficult to master, one of the first videogame fads to sweep the world is now available in the palm of your hand, thanks to the amomii IR Hacks device! Uploading the Project If you haven't already uploaded the Space Invaders code to your device, there are two ways to do it: Use amomii Link. amomii Link is our proprietary tool for uploading code directly from our website. a. Go to IR Hacks Link and choose your project. Today we’re picking Space Invaders. b. Read about the amomii Link tool. Manual Installation: Go to the Toolbox, download the code and upload it to your device using the Arduino IDE (if you don't know what that means, use option one!)a. Go to Toolbox. How to play Space Invaders uses a total of 4 buttons on the IR Hacks device. Press 4 to move your laser cannon to the left, press 6 to move it to the right, and press 5 to fire your laser cannon. The object of the game is to destroy all of the incoming invaders before they get too close. They are grouped into 3 rows of 6 invaders, and move together as a unit horizontally across the screen. Once they hit the edge, they will move one row closer to you and rebound to travel horizontally in the opposite direction. If you allow any of the invaders to get close enough to the bottom of the screen, it’s game over and the humans lost! So shoot them all before it’s too late!

Snake
Eat and grow. That’s how it works. The more you eat, the bigger you get. That’s life, and the idea behind the game Snake. Invented in the arcades of the 1970s, the game reached iconic status when it was an included game in the Nokia 6110 in 1997. The game is simple, addictive fun at its best. Now, using your IR Hacks device, you can get your game on and see how long your snake can get! Uploading the Project If you haven't already uploaded the Snake code to your device, there are two ways to do it: Use amomii Link. amomii Link is our proprietary tool for uploading code directly from our website. a. Go to IR Hacks Link and choose your project. Today we’re picking Snake. b. Read about the amomii Link tool. Manual Installation: Go to the Toolbox, download the code and upload it to your device using the Arduino IDE (if you don't know what that means, use option one!)a. Go to Toolbox. How to play This game uses 5 buttons on the IR Hacks device. To control your snake on the screen, button 2 is up, 4 is left, 6 is right, 8 is down, and 5 will reset the game. Eat a dot, and it gets added to your snake. The longer your snake gets, the more careful you have to be. If your snake touches any part of itself, or any of the edges of the screen, the game is over. You get 10 points for every dot you eat. If you can get to 250 points, or 25 dots eaten, that’s a great score!

Tic Tac Toe
Some games are timeless. Tic Tac Toe is certainly one. Three in a row games have been traced back as far as 1300 BC in ancient Egypt. So when we built the IR Hacks device with its 4x4 button grid, adding a tic tac toe game project seemed obvious. Our version is a two player game, featuring these two guys: Kissy face 😚, and Grimace 😬. Kissy uses the heart symbol, and Grimace chose the poop symbol. Ready to play? Find an opponent and let’s go! Uploading the Project If you haven't already uploaded the Tic Tac Toe code to your device, there are two ways to do it: Use amomii Link. amomii Link is our proprietary tool for uploading code directly from our website. a. Go to IR Hacks Link and choose your project. Today we’re picking Tic Tac Toe. b. Read about the amomii Link tool. Manual Installation: Go to the Toolbox, download the code and upload it to your device using the Arduino IDE (if you don't know what that means, use option one!)a. Go to Toolbox. How to play For this game, only buttons 1-9 will be used. They are mapped to correspond to the 3x3 grid you see on the screen. The object of the game is of course to get three of your symbols in a row while preventing your opponent from doing the same. Kissy 😚 will go first. Simply press the button that matches with the spot on the grid you want to fill. Once done, you’ll see Kissy 😚 change to Grimace 😬 and it’s time for player 2 to choose a spot on the grid. Keep going back and forth until you have a winner, or a tie game. To play another game, simply press any of the buttons 1-9 to reset the board.
