The answer isn't.

Most commerical products that have infra red remote controlled volume
(and other voltage-controlled parameters) use digitally controlled
attenuators rather than motor-driven pots. The place to look for
remote controlled motor drives is probably a robotics newsgroup or web
site.

Garage door opener remote control?
Or maybe a one-axis model airplane remote?

Connect it to a servo or even a reversable DC motor, gear the motor down
to the pot, and you're good to go.

I've already chosen the potentiometer, what do I need now? A servo control?
And what about the infrared control and reciever?

Do you have any idea about some newsgroup I colud ask in?

Thank You


There have been a couple of those published in electronics mags in Aust.
Check www.siliconchip.com.au, though the older one may have been published
by Electronics Australia (which you'll also find archived at that site).

If you already have the motor driven pot then you just need a remote
control, and add the driver circuitry, but if you want a kit, possible
suppliers a

www.jaycar.com.au

A fairly recent one was an infra-red driven job. I built an older uhf
type device and added it into my loungeroom amp.
