RE: IR Transmitter FAILURE. Other Options?
[In reply to]

I had a similar problem just yesterday building an IR transmitter. The
problem turned out to be the IR LED I was using. Here's the list of Radio
Shack parts I used to get it working:
276-1538 9-Position Female Solder D-Sub Connector
276-1122 PK10 1N914/4148
271-1328 PK5 3.3K 1/4 Watt
276-0143 5MM IR LED 940 NM
Those parts plus a little bit of ethernet wire was all it took. I nearly
gave up after banging my head against the wall for a while, the IR LED was
the problem the whole time. Here's a pretty good picture of my end product.

Don't get discouraged!

Subject: [mythtv-users] IR Transmitter FAILURE. Other Options?
After following the wonderful instructions of Dan Morphis, and even getting
my hands on a picture of the "Simple Transmitter", I was unsuccessful in
building one. (Tried 3 times). I'm now looking for other options, I've
heard of the IR-200L, however I am using a Scientific Atlanta 2100 and I
heard they might not be compatable. Any ideas?
Rick
