Have you been working on this Mika?

*checking the title of the thread* Hmm... 👍

Yes - the small board (attached with Velcro 😁 ) in the low middle is an AVR microcontroller board. Mid-right, next to the original IR receiver, I added a B&O specific 455 kHz IR module connected to the controller, as well as an IR transmitter LED. The rest is software and some reverse engineering to find a suitable power supply for the added board, so this mod is fully invisible and self contained when I close the lid.

An added neatness when implemented like this is that the controller can spy on the standby LED to know for sure whether the STB is on, or in standby. This is otherwise always a problem because most non-B&O kit has a toggle type power function on the remote; you'll easily end up with the power states being out of sync.

"Yes, Bro Leslie...Its on my list of B&O things to do. It may be a few moons but I will compensate for the patience my friend😕

Leslie,

I just saw your beautiful restorations. You are not a technician, you are a craftsman. And there aren't too many workmen around today who can justify that compliment. Keep up the good work!

Your pictures remind me that about 20 years ago, I took a bicycling holiday in Holland. I rode along the canals, and enjoyed it immensely. The Dutch are such nice people!

Great job with the beocenter! Good luck with getting the remote to control it.

If you have time could you share how you did this?
