Hi, this is my first post. Yesterday I took delivery of a SB2, and jolly nice it is to. I'm interested in building a remote receiver that will switch on my power amps (using a power relay) at the same time as turning the SB2 out of standby.
To this end, I need to find out some technical data about the remote, such as the frequency it uses, and the codes it sends. I've tried a search of the forums but came up with nothing. Does anyone know where I can get this kind of data?
At least some of that info (the codes, not the frequencies, though I tink the frequency info is fairly standardized for IR remotes) is available in the file .../IR/Slim_Devices_Remote.ir within the slimserver source.
If you've already got a remote that can control your amps, you could go the other way around, and program the Slim to respond to that remote; setting the d_ir flag will output every IR signal received to the log, and you can use those log entries to create a .IR file that maps the remote codes to symbolic button names. Those buttons are then mapped to modes/features in the Default.map file in the same directory.
Another alternative you might want to consider is the geekport -- the SB1/SBG had a pin labled: "s/pdif enable indicator (may be used to drive remote amplifier turn-on)"; I'm not sure, but I'd imagine that the SB2 geekport has a similar pin.

It is planned that the SB2 headphone port will be able to send out IR signals to an IR blaster to control other devices.
