Hi

What is this Philips header for?



I presumed you can disable the iMON IR by moving the switch from SoundGraph to Philips.

But not sure what the Philips header is meant to be for?

I am looking to disable the iMON IR and use a standard RC6 internal IR receiver somehow.

I could use an internal USB or CIR type IR receiver, but not sure if I have anywhere inside on the front of the OrigenAE M10 HTPC case to mount one internally.

Thanks

Maybe its for connection to one of these IR310 IR boards ?

Although the wiring diagram doesn't look like so

IIRC, it's for connecting a Phiips (RC6) IR receiver.

Hi guys

Thanks for the replies.

I just had a look, there is not a lot of room inside this Origenae M10 case.

You can see the iMON IR connected to the VF310 board. And also in the picture is a VideoMate USB Internal IR receiver which is a spare one I have laying around. Might be possible to put it in but I think I would need to re-solder the IR eye on to some longer metal pins and bend them in to position behind the plastic window.



So this VideoMate IR board I have is a USB one, there are four cables / pins. The Philips header on the VF310 board has 3 pins. I am assuming this type of IR board wouldn't work on that Philips header? And it just connects as normal to a USB header on the motherboard.

Also I may lose the power on from Shutdown S5 with the USB VideoMate, unless one of the USB ports on the Intel DH67CF ITX board still has power when its shutdown ?
I never managed to get power on from Shutdown working before with this VideoMate internal IR when I was using it previously which is why I took it out of another HTPC and replaced it with an Inteset CIR board.

Thanks
