Homebrew Digital Picture Frame w/Remote

feagle814 writes "I've always wanted to create one of those digital picture frames out of an old laptop, and on the heels of a recent slashdot story, I've written up my Digital Picture Frame project. What's unique about this particular incarnation of the digital picture frame is that mine includes a homebrew remote control recognizer made out of a programmable IC, the Microchip PIC16F628. The article discusses everything from design considerations to custom slideshow software, all the way to final presentation, with lots of photos along the way."

Perhaps because ready made solutions are not fun?

There are some of us for who it is the struggle of solving a problem, rather than the solution, that is the enjoyable part.
