DIY Device Mutes Your TV When Someone You Don't Like Is Mentioned

Enough-Already-2-600x399Matt Richardson created a wild Arduino system that mutes a TV whenever a name or other keyword is broadcast on TV. It uses the closed caption track and an IR blaster to grab what's currently playing and then mute the TV for 30 seconds - or more - depending on the current topic.The project uses the Video Experimenter Shield, Lady Ada's IR tutorial, and some basic code to scan the captions for keywords.
