The digital output jack makes it a really nice mp3 player for the stereo system, and never needing to sync between your stereo player and your pocket player (because they're the same device) is another advantage. But a remote would really help. >Radio frequency would be much more sensible, you could operate it from your >pocket in that case. Yup :-) I've been poking around inside one of those $12 R/C cars (like Bit CharG, or microsizers) and it's a nice miniature low-power RC system that offers 8 independent button controls (via the use of a bin-hex decoder/encoder IC at each end), so the hard work has already been done - just gotto adapt it (the easiest way would be to wire the button terminals inside the archos to the receiver, rather than the more long-winded way of trying to emulate the control codes of the archos remote). Once again, it doesn't seem like a difficult project, but I won't have any free time inthe forseeable future :-( Received on 2003-01-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
