Nice idea of doing it.

And i didnt know that linux runs on I-pods.(I wod also like to see linux for my phone since it also uses an ARM CPU and runs at 120Mhz wich can even run 3D graphics)

It's pretty impossible for me to import anything these days, so you guys are clever right?
Please tell me how to do this...
Make the little infra-red transmitter / receiver thingy!
Cool! 8)

This shod work whith any mp3 player.

What you do is conect an phototransistors to your PCs microcphone input and record an signall from an remote.Then you save it as an mp3 and the portable player will play back that signal in to an IR LED conected to the headphones plug.

Its an realy simple idea.But 44Khz (the sampeling rate) is a bit close to 38Khz (the freq. remotes work on).

Im thinking of building an PIC music player out of an old 30GB PC harddrive(I have one laying around).The loop that reads it mus not be more than 200 instructions long on an PIC18F. (If more the sampleing rate wod become too slow for audio)

Hey man, you again, between you and Nigel this place is the best ever!
Thanks for all the help lately...
So it's that simple eh?
I hoped so, was gonna try that...

Still gonna try that!!!!!!! 8)

All you need is an MP3 player that samples at 44khz and IR LED and an phototransistor.

Too bad i cant use my IR port on my phone to controle my TV.(PDAs can do that.)

What? I dont understand you.

Clyd3 · 9th July 2005, 07:40 PM

what I'm saying is you and Nigel give me the best answers, especially when I'm struggling to get my point / question accross...
I probably dont even come across as english most of the time...

Clyd3 · 9th July 2005, 07:41 PM

I mean consider my previous post in this thread thingy, I spelled the word "accross" or "across" two different ways!

Here too I suppose!

would the mp3 IR remote work on my IR phone (siemens sf65)

Someone Electro · 21st September 2005, 06:36 PM

No becose remotes work on about 38KHz and IR data transfer works at more than 400Khz.

Some palms can transmit 38khz to control the TV.

madmikejt12 · 21st September 2005, 07:31 PM

oooh i have a palm pilot (quite old, was given too me) dont think it would work, dont think its got sound recording ah well lol...

Someone Electro · 21st September 2005, 07:45 PM

No theres is software that uses the palms IR module to controle the TV

Clyd3 · 22nd September 2005, 08:41 AM

yeah, "omniremote" is quite nice, i used it allot with my old palm
