PocketMatrix

Ok, this looks really cool.<br>http://www.pdawin.com/irtranceiver.html<br>It goes onto the top of your ipaq and boost the ir signal up to 50feet. It was made to be used with the tv remote app, but I think it would be cool for sending other things as well, such as notes. The problem is that looks a bit complicated for me to make myself. But if one of you smart people would like to contribute to PocketMatrix, you could write up a howto with some handy dandy pictures;) That would be awesome.

i'm gonna try making a very small magnifine-glass type solution.... a magnifine glass would magnify the ir beam... would it not?

ROFL, that would not work.<br><br>I thought you were joking when you said that to me earlier.

hahaha thats some funny shit. you know i saw this earlier but i thought it had been posted. i really have to start posting news on this site.

If you use the right lenses you could make a better signal. But to get a distance (power) boost, you'll need something more sofisticated (eletronic stuff).

yeah, the magnifying glass thing only works in the movies.

has anybody looked at that page and understands how to make it? cause I want one If anyone can make it please write a howto.

it seems the ipaq sends the IR beam out which is recieved by the back of the device which then outputs a beam of the same fequency through the big mutha of an LED through the front of the device... i think.

I understand how to make it... but just don't ask me to write a how-to Matt

well moose since you are so unwilling to help, who else can make this?

Can't belive there isn't a eletronically talented PM legionnaire here.

i just cant be bothered to get the parts.

As a programmer, I have to say:<br><br>"That's a hardware issue"
