Aim to please. There is a lot of crap still coming out of Cuba. The large ring gauge movement is here to stay and long-skinnies aren't being rolled due to needing longer leaf. This year was the first time in a while Cuba had a double growing season. Hopefully in 2019 we will start to see the fruits of those labors.
You can do the same thing with ARC. One (HDMI) cable from TV to receiver and either do the input switching at the TV or receiver. Either remote can be used for volume.
[emoji20] that circuit doesn't work. The first switch debounce output (U2) is high and then transitions to low when the momentary switch is pressed. This means U1 clear is always being asserted. What is the easy way to invert this logic? I still need half that switch to be NO for the logic that happens on the other side of H1. I suppose it's possible a half NO and half NC momentary switch might exist, but seems unlikely in the switch form factor I am using and commited to. I need to find a way to jumper U2 pin 1 and 3 and then test the other part of the circuit. Testing tiny SMD components on a dense board is hard [emoji20]
That Omega Railmaster will find its way to me at some point. With Omegas not holding their value extremely well on the used market, yet the relatively small number of these - recommendations on strategy to acquire?
It's just that those IR guns aren't that accurate even from a few inches away. They average the radius and that can skew the numbers. Anyways, I think something is amiss - but if you have checked it out, then just enjoy the sweet sweet music.
You really need wider L-brackets, though. The stick-on heatsinks won't do anything until they come off and rattle around inside the case and short something
