I meant that there are some factors that don't allow me to consider the above answer a choice, such as the fact it will cost more than 10€ (13 $, as much as what the "other" way). Unfortunately, I have no one to borrow a led display from... About the remote controlling, I hadn't considered what you said about networking when I wrote my first comment. And don't get me wrong, I do appreciate his help a lot! | |

Once a PC is involved, it can be on a network, and so you can control this thing from another part of the planet, if you're so inclined. The inputs of a PC's RS-232 port can be used as GPIO's for sensing buttons. I have no idea how much the display would cost, but it may be possible to borrow one from some friendly shopkeeper. Or you could use the seven segment one you have. Just use the Arduino to display the digits, but have them come from the PC. The Arduino doesn't have to be used to play the accompanying sound. | |
