I too was eagerly waiting for the geekport to enable me to toggle power to my power amps, but gave up waiting. In the end, I lashed up a solution using a configurable IR detector. (Taught it to respond to the SLEEP button on the SB remote - which I wasn't using and seemed appropriate for the purpose).
You're in the UK, right? So am I, and the simplest configurable IR device I could find was a lampholder (which can be disassembled quite easily with careful use of a craft knife). Maplin have them at £9.99, order code L17BB. Of course, being designed for a lamp, you can't use it as the direct feed for power amps - it's not rated for a high enough current. So you have to use the output of the IR detector to control a power relay. Maplin do a suitable one for £4.99, order code N24AW. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17974 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
