Um... I wouldn't consider myself "geek in action by adding home-grown mods", however...
The other day I made an InfraRed receiver for xmms, It can actually be used to control heaps of stuff, ya just gotta find time to set it up. The components i got from South Island Components, and i got (what i think is called) a prototype board, it look like this: | || || || || || | |o||o||o||o||o||o| |o||o||o||o||o||o| |o||o||o||o||o||o| |o||o||o||o||o||o| |o||o||o||o||o||o| | || || || || || | So the circuit is in tracks, like a circuit board version on a bread board. Is this what your after? Or do you actually want to get a custom design maufactured/printed? While I'm on the topic of my IR receiver: Does anyone else have one? I have a glitch with it. When I boot, the lirc_serial module loads, but the receiver wont receive until I unload the module, and reload it... then everything works fine. This strikes me as a little wierd. I 'spect its not the module being buggy, cause both of my flatmates ones work fine (okay, so we had a IR-make-fest)... any suggestions?
