Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
Hi guys I can confirm that the IR sensor is at the top left corner of SB Touch as Gandhi already suspected. From what I can tell it's the same / similar little module that was used in SliMP3, Squeezebox 1 and 2, SB Classic, SB Boom, Transporter, SB Radio and Smart Radio too. The module itself only filters out the IR carrier which is around 38kHz. If you have ruled out other sources that might interfere with IR like neon lights, TV sets, etc. I probably would take SB Touch apart and try IR without the front cover to see if maybe the front cover somehow is diminishing the IR signal. (Some dust maybe or some other deposit on the plastic.) After that I would try to replace the IR module with a similar one. They all seem to have the same pinout. Pin 1 = IR out Pin 2 = VCC Pin 3 = GND Felix Programming is the art of cleverly arranging bits and bytes. - (c) Felix Mueller fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR blaster and Touch
Hi guys I finally found time to update the IR Blaster plugin to support SB Touch (NEC and RC5). If you already have the IR Blaster plugin installed LMS should alert you about the update to version 6.2. In case it's not happening automatically you might need to first uninstall the old version (be sure to save your *.conf files first), then add the following plugin repository: http://www.gwendesign.com/sc/repo/repo.xml and then enable the new version of IR Blaster. Note: Please be aware that SB Touch cannot support RAW IR format as it is not sending RAW IR codes to the server like SB2/3 and TR do. The implication as stated before is that the following functionality isn't available on SB Touch: - IR learning - IR repeating - Use of previously learned IR commands (as they are stored in RAW format too) Felix -- fcm4711 Focus means saying no. - Steve Jobs fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74938 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Brightness Logic
Hi guys Thanks for all your helpful information. I think I found the issue. As you already figured out there are two channels. Channel zero measures visible and infrared light whereas channel one only measures infrared and is meant to compensate for the infrared part in channel zero. The manufacturer of the ambient light sensor provides a formula to calculate a lux value from the two channels. It looks like the formula is incorrect when there is only infrared light reported on channel one (channel_zero = 0 and channel_one 0).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR blaster and Touch
Hi there At the moment (as of 7.5.0) IR Blaster does not work on SB Touch. IR Blaster plugin needs to be adapted to work with SB Touch. Please see here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12997 and the firmware running on SB Touch needs to be modified too, see here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15826 Best Regards Felix -- fcm4711 Focus means saying no. - Steve Jobs fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74938 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR blaster and Touch
Hi there The IR-Blaster solution I am referring to is using a similar mechanism / server plugin as we have for SB Classic. I.e. Squeezebox Server is sending IR commands via SlimProto to SB Touch where the commands are sent out via IR emitter attached to the headphone out. This solution cannot easily be modified because IR reception and IR blasting are controlled by a pre-programmed microcontroller in SB Touch (source closed). But since SB Touch is running Linux and has an USB port I could imagine a solution using LIRC (www.lirc.org) and an USB IR dongle (i.e. www.iguanaworks.net).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR blaster and Touch
Hi Dave No problem. The microcontroller is Logitech pre-programmed and can be updated in the field in case we need to fix bugs. Are you asking about _receiving_ RC5? I don't think that will be implemented any time soon as it is not needed for basic IR blasting. Even without this you can still send RC5 coded commands to RC5 devices.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR blaster and Touch
Hi there You'll be interested in this bug then I guess: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12997 Please read my comment #7 about some limitations regarding formats and capabilities IR Blaster will have on SB Touch compared to what a SB Classic or Transporter can do. So if you need any of the features that SB Touch IR-Blaster will not support I suggest you hold on to your trusty SB Classic or Transporter. IR-Blaster is currently on the list of features for 7.5 (SB Touch release) but as of today I cannot say if it will be ready for the first release.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setup a duet without the remote? On the SB touch screen?
Hi mnichollsuk That is currently not a planned feature for Squeezebox Touch. You will still need a Controller to setup a Receiver. However a Touch can control a Receiver (like any other player) if it is already setup.
