The wires inside the remote? They are insulated.
To solder to them you just apply the soldering iron to the end
and the insulation burns/melts. You don't have to strip them.
If not actually, then potentially.

hi guys, am new to psp scene but have few ideas on this thread,
for using psp in controll applications,
1. is app needing fast i/o ( robotics, machine controll? ) if so you will need seperate micocontroller for servo/ digital PID routines and all real-time control, ( recomend arm7 from NXP, one of the LPC range should do, dont use pics cos just not used in the real electronic products world ) comms through serial or usb and use psp as man/machine interface for the controll system .

2. If slow io is ok ( heating, HVAC, home automation ) and you have GOOOOD controll of your serial io, just connect straight through a level shifter ( check your books mate !! ) to a serial-to-paralell register (clocked) but to be frank still use a micocontroller as a data buffer, a nxp arm7 is under$1 for f$%^% sake!! and if your studying electronics at any decent level you should be deep into micro's by now !!

Finally remember your voltage levels, using shifters where necesarry, and watch your circuit board layout if your switching inductive loads etc
