Introduction
& further remote control projects:
As a "waist product" of the
CDC simulator, here there is
now a remote control for Archos Jukebox (AJB) MP3 players.
Other remote control projects
based on PIC uC's in Assembler:
The here described Archos remote
control has no further features than the above mentioned PIC based ones.
The essential difference is,
that it is based on a Atmel uC and it is written in C language.

-
These remote control commands
are supported by the original Archos and the Rockbox open-source firmware.
-
It is (currently) not possible
to realise more than these commands, because the AJB's remote control interface
does (currently) not support more commands.
Restrictions:
-
While pressing and holding down
the previous/next key of the AJB while playing a song, the AJB goes fast
forward/backward.
-
Some could think now, that this
could be realised by sending repeated serial previous/next commands fastly
one after another.
-
The result is a fast/multiple
title jump as you would have pressed the AJB key fastly for several times
:-o//
Closing
words:
If somebody builds this or
did some improvement/development, I would appreciate to get to know about
it by e-mail.
Apart
from that I want to wish you a lot of fun...
