Is it also impossible to get an eye made for BL active/passive to work with beoport?
I went to three B&O shops yesterday, non of them had the beoport-eye in stock. :(

Does anyone know what the different connections are made for on a BL active/passive-eye? I want to know which connection is 5V, IR and ground.

I found drawing but it misses the descriptions for the connections 


I also found this but it has seven connections so this does not help. (mine has five or six)

Interesting diagram. 

On the beotech site there is a wiring diagram for a link eye with 5 connections. My question is are the link eyes with 5 connections the same? As the one with the din connector has the yellow wire in pin 1 and or the 3.5mm jack its in terminal 4?

 I want to connect my link eye that has a din connector to my beoport so need to cut off the din connector and change it for a jack connector hence the question.

 

Regards

Blackbeard,

 

ok thanks for that.

Although the internals maybe different there will still be 5v, gnd and signal available. I also want to use this for my PC2.

 Its just a question of finding the correct terminals.

The basic question I had was  was that in the two B&O diagrams they had used differnet colours from the cable(s) in the same connecter, white in pin 4 for the din and yellow in pin 4 for the jack. This breaks with standard convention but maybe it does not matter.

Ok, do a try, maybe you'll have better chance than Ola, Elephant, and the others.

I made it work with BeoLink PC2 and a BEO4 remote control. The switches on the IR Eye do nothing.

It is an IR Eye with 5 terminals on the back and a TIMER/UP/DOWN/PLAY switches on the front.

Pins from top to bottom:

1- +5 Volts

2

3- IR Data

4

5-Ground
