This listing is for the control board only. Additional soldering and fabrication may be required. Other components, such as input, mute, and trigger relays, may be necessary for full functionality. The motorized potentiometer is optional and can be used with any 5V motorized potentiometer.
The board is compatible with Sony remote codes:
Power (2069)
Volume Up (2066)
Volume Down (2067)
Volume Mute (2068)
Key Features:
Built with high-quality components, including:
Microchip PIC16F18323 microcontroller
Vishay TSOP IR receiver
Texas Instruments SN754410 motor driver
Optional Bourns 100k motorized potentiometer
Precise dual motor control with variable step rate:
Single click: Increments/decrements volume in small steps.
Rapid clicks: Increases/decreases volume at a faster rate.
Intelligent features:
Feedback via power LED for received instructions.
Auto return to low volume upon shutdown for convenience.
Technical Notes:
All relays are 5V and draw less than 40mA each.
The source control port cannot directly drive relays. Please refer to the schematics for wiring details.
The mute and trigger outputs can drive relays directly or any high-impedance trigger input where 5V is acceptable.
Insulate unused wires / features before energizing.
