Did you figure out the i2c communication from the eye?

Yes, this is very simple as it is based on a simple 8574 chipset. By the way, if is is for interest for some people, I recently hacked a BEOSOUND5 that was stuck, replaced the mainboard by an Arduino, and managed to decode all the wheel information (volume, selector, etc...)

I only have a problem with the IR detector with does not work well with the beomote library (for the moment)

I will couple the Arduino to a raspberry pi to have a multimedia unit  .

This is a cool project!

I have a comparable use case in mind: would it be possible to use a B&O IR eye to generate IR signals that can control non-B&O gear?
