RE: Another IR success...

["Ian Bird" <I.Bird@xxxxxxx>]

A quick update

I have a PCB! Ok, it doesn't work but at midnight last night I found I had
missed the connection to pin 4 of the IC and I guess this would kinda slow
it up a bit. I have made some mods and it looks good. Keiths advice on
photo
etching was invaluable. On my first attempt I ended up with what looked
liks
PERFECT pcb's They even drilled and soldered OK. Not much time this week
and
away at the weekend but soon I think. Might even have some info for Nigel
as
well.

After quickly prototyping Nigel's IR repeater circuit, failing to get it
working properly and worst of all, not having enough time to 'debug', I
gave
it to my brother-in-law.

He has access to IR sensitive cameras and has managed to get it working
properly.  My NiCd battery pack putting out 5.5v instead of 8.4v probably
didn't help either!

Now he's finished building his oak AV cabinet, he wants one so that he can
control his eqpt. with the doors shut (away from fiddling 3 year old
fingers) - so it's a good job I got 5 TSOPs from Keith.  Of course, this
clever forward planning will still get me unstuck, as I shall probably find
I need 7 or 8.  Rule 1:  how many could you possibly need.  Rule 2:  add a
bit for good measure.  Rule 3:  double it!!!  Seriously though, I think I
only need the 1 for myself, until I move house that is.....

Ian B - I'm in for 2 PCBs please!
