Any light to guide the way would be helpful

Look into 'low voltage wiring' Enjoy spending lots of time in crawl spaces and above drop down ceilings running wire.

I mean if you can measure cut and connect a cat 6 cable your are set for networking your house. Most security cameras can be powered and monitored though said cable.

Speakers are super easy. the same rules apply. Measure and cut the cable and cap off with end connectors. Depending on your setup you might need to solder a bit, or you might need to just screw the connectors on.

I have no idea what a firestick it and how it's used. But it might have debug pins inside it that you could connect to your serial port and than run it because you don't know assembly from a hole in the ground. How to i know this. Well you can ping a central processing unit you can ping a network address.

Install gentoo and get good at programing if you want to "hack" anything ever.

Thanks guys, this is helpful.

Is wiring say.. the inside of an amp, or the inside of a computer pretty straight forward?
Is that the "low voltage" you were refering to?

In other words, you open up most kinds of machine and see a red wire a green wire a white wire..
Are these all similar no matter the machine?
I'd like to be able to take something simple apart and know the basics

Nothing that has actual copper wires is safe for a retard like you to work with.

Low voltage stuff wont use wires most of the time and will only have a circuit board, and you cant do anything with that without knowing how to solder and even with that you need to have the schematic and know how to read it.
Decent amplifiers, radios and TVs ( especially old tube stuff ) is high burn your skin off and stop your heart if you so much as touch it in the wrong place voltages.

Wiring codes vary according to region. In the us green is line, white neutral, black ground. In europe its blue line brown neutral yellow/green ground. Inside the for wall wiring.
Inside devices its mostly red is voltage, black is ground.
And the remaining wires could mean fuck all depending on what the device is, where it was made, what it connects too etc.


A safe place to start is kids battery powered toys. Its slimple as it's gonna get, and there is no chance of excremental death
Get some cheap chink stuff, take it apart, put it back together.
That how i learned when i was a kid.

Thanks man, that's helpful

I'll try not to be a fucking retard my whole life.

Anyone have any other ideas of in home electronic networking.

I do have basic knowledge of computer networking.

Also interested in this.

How do you connect speakers around your house wirelessly?

Also would like more info

Why are you trying to hack your fire stick anyways? This sort of 'hacking' works much like hacking/jailbreaking your phone, for example. The idea is attaining full control over your devices filesystem (aka attaining root/superuser/etc. access) in order to install 3rd party software or remove shit. See online guides for this process. The question remains: what exactly do you want your stick to do? This could slightly affect the process (i.e. what guide to use and what you download). You would need a whole lot more knowledge of OS anatomy to do this from scratch, mind you

this is a joke right? Wat the fuck are you asking?!

If you want to use ethernet there are a lot of low cost dev boards with Ethernet transcievers like Wiznet. These are great for simple little things like turning off and on lights (with a relay) or reading motion sensors. For streaming video, file servers, etc you'd need something Raspberry Pi level.

I'm an oldfag, so I prefer a classic RS485 two wire multidrop bus using a simple protocol like DMX512 or Modbus RTU. The advantage here is that literally any computer with a serial port or microcontrooler with a UART can be hooked up to it with $2 of hardware.

Cool it ass clown, what he's asking isn't that complicated

Can we get a noob guide sticky for this

OP, Google your questions and then come back when you get stuck.

Too vague to help you...
