Subject: [ukha_d] Zone amplifier pictures


Hi there,

A little while ago I promised some pictures (or was that others
demanded?) of the 3 zone amplifier board I have designed and are in the
stages of refining it having had it running in my house for a couple of
weeks. Well here are some pictures.  Not Vogue quality but should give
you some idea of what I have done.
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~shanehar/ha/index.html

Basic setup is:
Amplifier - self built zoned amplifier
MP3 players - MP3Elfs
MP3 Server software (streaming and playlist management) - JReceiver
Control - Misterhouse as main control point - events generated by IR
using FirM coupled to LIRC and a Web Interface
IR Remote - Pronto displaying Albums

In case anyone is interested, I used a modified version of Kieran's
Pronto scripts that interrogate JReceiver and generate MP3 album screens
for the pronto.  Kieran's concept was to drive the Rio Receivers using a
series of IR codes to "walk" through the menu system.  I have
modified
that to:
1) Interrogate Jreceiver using its native XML interface
2) For each album the pronto generates an RC5X code and Misterhouse
converts that using a mapping file to select the correct album (credit
to Mark? for the idea since he does that but generates a Girder mapping
file).

Let me know if you want more info.

Cheers
Shane
