Hi guys I can confirm that the IR sensor is at the top left corner of SB Touch as Gandhi already suspected. From what I can tell it's the same / similar little module that was used in SliMP3, Squeezebox 1 and 2, SB Classic, SB Boom, Transporter, SB Radio and Smart Radio too. The module itself only filters out the IR carrier which is around 38kHz.
If you have ruled out other sources that might interfere with IR like neon lights, TV sets, etc. I probably would take SB Touch apart and try IR without the front cover to see if maybe the front cover somehow is diminishing the IR signal. (Some dust maybe or some other deposit on the plastic.) After that I would try to replace the IR module with a similar one. They all seem to have the same pinout. Pin 1 = IR out Pin 2 = VCC Pin 3 = GND Felix Programming is the art of cleverly arranging bits and bytes. - (c) Felix Mueller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
