I've written a library for the Arduino that lets you emulate the $19.99 (USD) Apple Remote. All it requires is a standard IR LED - you can pick those up from Radio Shack for basically nothing. It's released under the GPL. Enjoy!
Download!
Alternatively, you can find the project on Github
I'd appreciate it very much if you send me an email describing any projects you use it for. Patches are also always welcome.
It seems that a few Arduino-related sites have linked here:

Small bug
Submitted by Anonymous on
Just in case anyone else is using a Nano v3 board, to get the code to work I had to make a couple of fixes. In AppleRemoteSender.cpp on line 70 I had to change the delay from 3040 to 4500 and on line 84 from 565 to 560.
I got these numbers from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Remote#Technical_details
Thanks for sharing this library! It is really useful!
