Re: [slim] New modified SqueezeAMP batch?
Yes, that is the scenario. Was going to have the speaker hooked up first, so yes, no space where IR is, just wanted to confirm that there is space next to the IR. Yes, it means that the speaker wire will need to be threaded through the back plate as I assemble. bengaldave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4605 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116084 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Maybe if you bend switch pins and IR slightly you may just make it but its tricky as same time you need to close/assembly case. I think you are better off to place it opposite side above WiFi but you will have to secure at least one speaker wire before case assembly. In this case you block 1st wire terminal header screw. Its certainly workable if you defo need switch. I gave up as placed squeezeamp next to wall socket with switch.

Re: [slim] New modified SqueezeAMP batch?
@Jaca I noticed that also, but was going to work around that. I cannot check for clearance of on/off switches as they are at a friends who is going to solder them for me. Is there clearance for the on/off switch to the right of the IR receiver? Or will it not clear? Its okay either way, just need to decide how to I am going to finish assembly. bengaldave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4605 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116084 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Regarding the speaker polarity - I just want to make sure I'm understanding. On the previous version ones that I have the pinout that is printed on the board matches what is listed here https://github.com/philippe44/SqueezeAMP/blob/master/README.md 1: L+ (square pad) 2: L- 3: R- 4: R+ The one I just received has a printed pinout like this: 1: R- (square pad) 2: R+ 3: L+ 4: L- Which is the correct one? It's funny - the two I have connected to speakers (instead of using optical) are connected to a single speaker and set to mono output so it dawns on me that I wouldn't even know if I had R/L switched on those :-) the_arm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9891 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116084 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The polarity marking should now be correct, it was a mistake that one user mentioned for previous batch. The voltage is expected as I now measure the value at the battery pins. When there is no battery, its 8.4V for basic and 12.6 for boost. There is good and bad doing that, but previously the measuring point would only give me Vcc. For the casing youre right and I forgot about that, sorry. I had the option to put the IR receiver on the bottom side and I did not like it, so I opted for this solution but the casing should have been modified. You can reverse it but if you have a display, the missing honeycomb will be misplaced, and the opening for speakers header are a bit off. That still works though. The difficulty is that the case is made by the generosity of people around here and I dont want to abuse it. Still, Ill discuss @chill and @merlineng if we can make a batch of tops where the on/off opening is simply mirrored to be above the antenna.
