Ir booster
« on: March 24, 2020, 12:34:19 am »
I have this controller I bought to control my mini split a/c but the range of the ir is just to short to work consistently. Is there something  I can put on the front of the controller to boost the signal some. Or would it be better off trying to find a better receiver somehow.

I don’t mind tearing into this either, right now it has 2 irs going out the top and one out the front, don’t really need the top ones if removing those would help or swapping in a different ir.

Would it work if I unsoldered one ir on the cielo and hooked a wire in the place of it, then ran the wire to the a/c unit ir and piggy backed it on to that receiver. would that work? any harm in doing that, should I add a diode on the line to keep it one way traffic only?
