So I have learned that the projector uses rs232c which uses around 5v so I think I can just use an arduino mega with no hat needed, or at least so i've been told. I think i've just been really overcomplicating the software side. I've found/ been given some resources and it seems much easier than I was thinking it'd be. Arduino does seem the way to go as apposed to raspberry pi.

I'm sure there is but i'm not entirely sure where to find it or how to go about using it and I can't seem to get google to return anything useful. How do you get the arduino to send out the command in the first place, like setting the trigger mechanism aside how would I test this manually? Yeah I was planning on using one of those, probably should have mentioned that I apologize. So something like this correct, https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1030.html Alternatively would a raspberry pi with a usb to rs232 adapter work and possibly make things easier?

Not exactly sure if this is the correct thread to post this on but I figured since I need more help with the programming side and not necessarily the hardware side here would be adequate. If it is not please say something and I will change accordingly. So anyways I have JVC DLA RS2 projector which does not have a trigger input nor does it support hdmi cec (or at least I cannot get it to work). It does have a rs232 port though and I can find the codes for it easily online. So I was wondering if I could use the trigger out from my receiver (Integra DTR 70.6) to go into an arduino's with voltage stepdown to take the 12v trigger down to 5 or so volts for arduino. I've never used rs232 and I don't really have a strong programming background but I would like to learn. Only need it to turn on and off with the receiver. And just to be clear I am very open to other suggestions, I just want projector to come on and off with the AVR but I would like use rs232 if possible so I can learn it and maybe use it to further automate my setup. But if there’s a much easier solution that I am not thinking of I will happily try it. I bought the RS2 used and the seller did not send the remote so I am stuck manually turning it on and off with the onboard buttons which is getting a bit annoying lol.

It would be an amazing projector for a home theater because it can be placed close to the wall and not take up to much space

I want it because I want to play games on my tv without having a big tower beside it.

I have changed some things around what about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qkN423

I need help finding one i eventuly want to run crossfire with the 290

Sorry

I am looking to build a new pc for gaming and I need it to be under 1000 USD. Does anyone know if these will work good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150697&cm_re=amd_r9290-_-14-150-697-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236070 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146109&cm_re=nzxt_case-_-11-146-109-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 I need a power supply, eventuly want to run crossfire with 290s but can change power supply if budget to small

okay, thanks!

that should be okay but little more expincive than id like

anyone know if this is a good monitor for gaming http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EMB4L0I/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

US dollars

I am looking for a new cheap display with at least the following: (dosent matter what type of pannel it is) perferably 1080p not 4K (PC cant run) 20 inches or higher 60hz or higher good colors decent responce time perferably with VESA mount but doesent matter <$200

thank you so much iv been planning this for a long time and the gpu has had me stuck
