Reply To: Controlling a Beomaster 6500 via the TV/Aux Datalink’86 pin

Im still learning about Masterlink, but if I understand what you are asking about RE the 1611, I would think it would be possible to convert a DL86 signal from a 1611 into something a BM8000 could deal with.  That said, it may only be possible to have maximum control via the BM8000 IR input. In this instance, the Powerlink cable from the 1611 would go to an Arduino which in turn sent the control signals through an IR emitter, and the line audio output (or input) went through Tape2.  From what little I know about the BM8000, I’ve read that the TP2 jack is fully functional, apart from Datalknk.  But it is IR-selectable, so perhaps it plus the IR receiver can function as a sort of DL86 Aux. What this example cant do in it’s current arrangement is send a command signal back to the 1611, so a bit more thinking would need to be done on how to listen in on the internal DL signals.
