Please help! Driving me mad

Post by starwarsmike » Sun Sep 15, 2013 9:40 am

Where do I start......

I had IPad controlling Sky Hd via itach infrared, then suddenly it stopped, sky box will not accept any infrared commands.

I checked & done the following;

- Reset the itach box
- checked all sensors working (Yes all do on other kit)
- checked sensor port config

This confirmed nothing wrong with sensors / box, so I have ruled this out.

I Also had Roomie working via infrared for Sky Tv, now not working also.
This has led me to believe that there might be a issue with the Sky box receiving infrared commands, so I have rebuild/reset my Sky box, still same issue.
Then I realised maybe it's not the sky box because my Pioneer Lx83 send infrared commands & works ok

So it's not the;

Itach box or sensors, sensors flash red when command is sent
Wrong programming, was working before on demopad & Roomie, but now not
Sky box (maybe) because it's accepting commands from pioneer infrared

What can it be????

Please someone help, this is driving me mad!!!!

Help would be much appreciated

If you point your IR emitter at an IR learner (like the iTach learner, using iLearn) do you get the signal back that you expect? It sounds like an IR placement issue, try sending the commands out of port 3 with it set to blaster mode to rule that out.

Clearly your iOS device is talking to your iTach if the IR output LED flashes when you send a command, so my guess is either faulty IR emitter, or placement issue.
