IR (infrared) datalink.

My brother and I have build a new IR (infrared) datalink used to configure our preamp, tuner and 5.1 (6 channel) volumecontrol. The concept is quite simple, we type the relevant data in a Visual Basic program, download the data to the IR datalink through a rs232 serial connection, disconnect the IR datalink from the PC and take it into the living room and transfer the data to e.g. our preamp through a infrared rs232 serial connection and the configuration is completed. Smart, simple and quite time saving.

1. 2. 3.	Picture of the IR datalink box: Press the red button to switch the datalink on (red led on). Press and hold the black button to initiate data transfer from the PC, click send data in VB program (yellow led on and flashing, green led goes on when completed and ready to transfer data to e.g. preamp). Choose IR datalink menu on e.g. preamp and press black button fast to start data transfer (green led flashes). Wait approx. 30 sec. and the IR datalink turns of the power.
