Hello friends! Here is an awesome engineering project that I have been continuously developing since 2019.

The project originally began as an initiative to automate simple repetitive tasks under Windows environments. However, due to the workplace constraints I faced at the time, I was restricted from saving those automated scripts. This initial setback highlighted how such custom development fields are sometimes overlooked, but it only fueled my drive to keep iterating.

One day, I was discarding a broken DVD Player but decided to preserve its Remote Control. Within a few days, I realized it was the perfect candidate for hardware recycling!

Back then, I started decoding IR signals with a classic 3-pin IR Receiver. I still fondly remember my custom mnemonic rule for the schematics pinout layout: "Leaving the Hospital, setting foot on Earth, and getting nourished" (representing Output, GND, and Vcc), read precisely from left to right.

After a few weeks of programming in C++, I discovered an excellent IR Decoder manufactured by Vishay. I also sourced a highly convenient interface cable: a USB-to-TTL to RS232 COM Port adapter.

I was absolutely thrilled when I saw how effortlessly these components (the Decoder and the Adapter) worked straight out of the box with a lightweight C++ application, accurately parsing the function signals from the remote control.

Naturally, I received invaluable support from the UPV.net community. Direct manipulation—and let alone reading—of the serial COM port would not have been possible without the excellent library implementation developed by that institution (Polytechnic University of Valencia). I have included that application extension, which can be easily set up within Borland C++ using this comprehensive step-by-step guide:

After a few weeks of benchmarking the IDE and performing dozens of technical queries on Google, I successfully managed to control the system mouse pointer using my custom C++ software environment.

Since 2010, I have been deeply passionate about optimizing 32-bit Linux operating systems, discovering that the audio performance ceiling of my host machine could be increased by over 50%.

Through meticulous low-level optimization and deep system tuning, I managed to boot a legacy netbook in under 15 seconds! Working extensively within this ecosystem—long after industry support for legacy systems has shifted—there are still some outstanding lightweight Linux distributions left to deploy and evaluate.

While a 32-bit architecture might not be a mainstream option today, if you enjoy restoring vintage computers and granting them a second life, this custom configuration provides the absolute best performance metrics available.

💿 Installation Instructions:

To deploy this customized ISO build, you must first log out of the default Openbox session, then log in to the Cinnamon desktop workspace using the standard live distribution credentials:

👤 User: mint // 🔑 Password: live

Once inside the Cinnamon window manager, effortlessly execute the complete system installation via the main deployment shortcut located directly on your desktop workspace.
