I had a look at the post that Tom referred to, and from what I can tell, it's about getting the IR code passed on to another IR transmitter. That isn't what I'm trying to do. What I would like to do is build an IR receiver that understands the Squeezebox remote so that it can throw a power relay to control my amps.
The "geekport" that Marc referred to sounds like it might be just the job. It sounds as if it pulls a line high when the SPDIF output is activated. Am I to understand that the SPDIF output only gets activated when the Squeezebox is switched out of standby? If this is what it does, where can I find the info about where the geekport is located, and what voltage/max current it delivers? I tried searching the forums and found an old post with a link to a FAQ on the SlimDevices website (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_faq.html), but it seems the current version of that FAQ doesn't have any info about the geek connector. -- cliveb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
