rszasz Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've been hunting for a bluetooth adapter that I could hack to enable remote control of my sony HI-MD player. After sevral months of searching and not finding anything I have decided to create one and was wondering if anyone else was interested. I plan on making a limited run using mostly COTS parts and having it set up so that minimal re-design would allow for various remote interfaces (Sony 4pin, Sony flat, panasonic 4pin+co-ax, etc..). If I see some interest I will post my progress and make the product available to the community. If any of you have any product sugestions, comments, or questions please post here.

Ishiyoshi Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Are you planning to modify an existing RM-MCxx remote such as the RM-MC40ELK? Nonetheless, this is a great initiative and please do keep us informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, this is a great initiative and please do keep us informed.The proof of concept would use a harvested connector from the cheapest walkman wired remote I can get my hands on. Since I dont plan to do a production run of these, I will most likely resin cast the prototype and any limited production that I do. The basic design is boringly simple, a COTS bluetooth module with AVRCP support, a microcontroller, battery and battery managment circuit, and a digital potentiometer to emulate a remote. This allows interaction with any system that has a "dumb" remote with a mere connector change and settings update. Right now I am still in the design phase, but as there are no hi-frequency or high power design involved I should be able to get a proof of concept (working,butt ugly) version in a few weeks.
