Hi. I have a tv and pc in my shed about 30m from the house, i setup originally cat6e network for the computer and then later changed to wireless, i now have a cable running the length from the shed to the house near my home ent setup. i have a tv in the shed i would like to watch footy on foxtel (satellite) but struggle with the remote. is there a way to setup a good quality ir repeater using the existing Ethernet cable so i can use different remotes ie if i wanted to put on a movie while i work playing on on the dvd i can just take the dvd remote or same for foxtel. any schematics would be appreciated as im a novice. I dont want a dodge one thats intermittent or changes the code and does the wrong button presses as i purchased a cheapo china one that was weak and also you press volume up and it would send the tv chan down??? thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention the parts i have. 5mm IR receiver http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZD1952&CATID=33&form=CAT&SUBCATID=245 2x JW1FH-DC12V - 12v- 10A/240v RELAY http://cnpdf.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/167869/NAIS/JW1FSN-DC12V.html 2x 12V SPDT - 10A / 240v - RELAY http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SY4050&CATID=28&form=CAT&SUBCATID=754 I also have a mini remote that off a different old stereo i would like to use, i dont know how to use it on this unit im going to build though, or i could just make a new remote and pout in a small box. Any help or schematics would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. Can someone help me put all this together? I want to make a IR 4 chan remote (that can go around 20 to 50m) and a receiver that can turn each chan to a relay output? Im not e expert but know a little, thats why im asking :-* Cheers Stuee

Hi, I do a lot of dj'ing for friends and use my laptop with my pa speakers. Im getting over having to go over and either change track or adjust the volume. I started to use bluetooth remote control on my N97 but A) the distance was only about 10m. b) my battery wouldn't last the night. Is there a way by using a 4 button radio remote that you can purchase from jaycar.com.au to have track forward. pause, vol up and vol down. Or in the worst case scenario a high powered ir remote to a usb receiver i have and use girder or something, i know it has to be line of sight for this, i would like at-least a 30m distance if not longer. Any suggestions please share. Thanks in advance. Stuee

Hi, not sure i used the correct terminology, correct me if im wrong. I want to remove a 4 way slide switch and replace with a push button switch that has 5 outputs that i can hook to relays. or it they can push out over 200ma. Again schematic / circuits appreciated. thanks

Im installing a thermo fan in my car but want to use the existing temp sensor to my temp gauge for the sensor. I can find out the resistance for it but something i can vary too would be good. If anyone knows a simple circuit / diagram i would appreciate it. thanks

Hi, I have a boat with dual battery setup. I want to add a solar panel to the boat and hook it to the battery system through a regulator. The local shop has a powertech 10w for $109 this week and thinking its good to buy. The details are Max Power 10W Rated 12v Open circuit 21.5v Short current 680mA Can someone tell me how much power this will put back into a battery in say 1hour of full sun. Or if there is a way i can work out myself? I want to have a radio on in the boat and the fish finder. the radio is 380mA and the fish finder is 140mA .. Cheers.

So the old (orig) cap is cheap and the possible replacement 103k100v is the better one so i can use them. thanks

In relation to my what caps is this request. I have found a old pcb board at home and discovered some green caps on it that have 103 on them. Can i use them in replace of the originals. the photo and info are below. thanks Old Cap 2E103K Possible replacement cap. 103j100 Same colour, shape and size

Hi, could someone tell me how to make a 12v timer. its for my race car, i want it so it turns on the Thermo fans after 5mins of the ignition turning on from the +12v signal. the fans are relayed so i just want to put this inbetween,. is it also possible to add a button that when you press it, it turns off the timer till ignition is off and resets its self (incase the engine is started hot and doesent need the warm up period) Thanks

i know, but like i said, i have power. I have a power cable from the magneto, if i put a globe on it its ok, till i rev then it blows, i just want it so it wont blow them,, then i can ge tthe bike registered!

no because the bike is a scrambler dirt bike and not made for lights, but need to put them on so i can recreational register it. as the last fine for $380 was a bit annoying for the sake of regstering it for $100
