Zubiz1503560776 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I couldn't find the old thread, search on forums never work for me (Lyle never seems to have a problem though). Anyway I purchased a Jaycar kit spent about 4 hours stuffing about with it one steady night shift and it doesn't work. I can't be botherd trying to figure out why so I gave up on it . I just purchased a Crest IR Blaster for $70. It comes with three emittors on a single two wire cable that is about two meters. I have made a lead to extend this to my requierd distance of about 10m using two core wire with a male 2.5 mono and female 2.5 mono jack on either end. I then came across another problem the distance between emittors wasn't sufficiant enough for me to stick to the front of the components (top bottom selve) I used a 2.5 mon double jack and made another longer lead to be used on my AVR that sits on the top shelve. I have just spent the last few days wall mounting my plasma moving power points running new cables through the roof and the last peice of the puzzle was to be able to control the equipment. SUCCESS it worked and now I'm stocked. Not sure how far you could push this little blaster but for the price it is worth considering.
ozdoc Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Looks like a neat little unit. Well done. The old thread you were looking for: IR Repeater Thread
