I want to make a remote control for my mplayer DVD player using lirc (
For appearance, I'd really like to use the self-contained one, but....
It's a little molded plastic blob, maybe 3/8" x 3/8" x 5/8", with a self-adhesive backing on one side and what looks like a clear small (1/8"
- 2.5mm?) LED protruding from the other side. It has a wire that ends in a 1/8" mini plug with 3 connectors (like a stereo 1/8" plug).
I know this is a receiver because it came with a piece of equipment (since lost) that was meant to be controlled via a remote control. That's all I know about it.
Any way to tell which band on the plug is connected to which lead on the receiver? Or what the capabilities of the receiver are? (i.e. is it compatible with the basic circuits on lirc.org?)
I don't know enough about these IR receivers to try dumb luck. Can I fry one by hooking it up all wrong?
Thanks,
