Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 11:15:56 +0100 Hello to all, you are right, a basic bidirectional communication is needed. A 'light' communication is possible. From the top view of the system the following parts are possible: Radio control panel: in: CD status with CD number, track number, playtime out: every keypress Archos: in: remote control like select playlist, track, play, stop, skip, etc Based on an Atmel micorcontroller solution, the communication with the radio is available as a prototype. The outgoing communication of the Archos is missing. I this this is not really needed, because it it possible to put the informations about the internal status of the Archos in the interface box. Additionaly the needed remote features of the Archos are not available. This means there is a need to extend the remote possibilities of the Archos within Rockbox. An interface box is needed which is connecting the different communication parts. Another operating point is thinking about a good user interface with the given radio control panel and designing a good so called remote-content-control via the CD changer interface for an external music archive. The main focus is keeping the radio system unchanged and keeping the Archos unchanged - except its firmware. Kind regards Frank PS: A detailed description (sorry, at the moment only in german) of the diplom thesis is available at http://www.vw-personal.de/stellenangebote/praktikant/P-5930.htm -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Andreas Stemmer [mailto:Andreas.Stemmer_at_web.de] Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.

There was a long discussion about protocols and concepts on this mailing list. I am still planning to work on this topic (if I'll find some time), but it's too early for a diploma thesis for me (5th semester, electrical engineering, TU Munich). In a year perhaps...
