Development environment: Newton 2100, iPod photo 60GB, amplified speakers, WinNTK, old/ugly wintel notebook. I've used the information provided in this page: http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0026607/ipod_remote/ipod_ap_new.html | |
I've been using the 3rd serial port to control the iPod, the first serial port is used for NTK. You can see that there's no need for a level shifter if you use this port. Connection schematic | |
The connectors at the iPod. My goal is to build an infrared dongle that you can plug here and another for the newton, efectively turning your newton into a wireless remote for your iPod, along with the possibility to choose songs, etc. | |
There isn't much too see in the AiR (Advanced ipod Remote) mode yet. Nothing is finished/implemented yet, so don't wonder why it doesn't work. | |
I plan to add a scroll list with artists, albums, songs, etc, A field for searching songs and the recording button here. | The basic mode is, well, basic. You can keep the buttons pressed for fast forward/rewind too. | A simple preferences form that will grow as needed. |
