I've had a hard time sourcing one of these IR emitters.  It has one emitter, but two 3.5mm jacks and inline diodes.  This allows two control systems to control the device, and the diodes prevent voltage from feeding back to the other system.  Anyone ever make one of these on their own, or know how the diodes would need to wire in to create same setup.

Thanks,

Greg

i am assuming a 12 volt diode from auto zone would work. Will need 2 on each of the 3.5mm connectors voltage side along with a voltmeter to test directionality. What 2 systems are you using?

I can source these from a couple of my suppliers, I can get some for you, if you want

I can special order as it isn't a stocked item. Or you can try yourself on adiglobal

Just splice 2 c4 emitters together do it all the time. Cheaper too since everything is IP now almost I have a bucket

He is trying to do 1 emitter with 2 3.5mm ends. And it needs diodes to keep the voltage from back feeding

1n4003 diode, stripe towards the emitter end on both positive wires.

Bring emitter into terminal block and provide your own diode. Have this in our showroom between Crestron and C4.

IrUSB could also fit the requirement (single emitter controlled by multiple devices).  

Since it is IP controlled, you can have 40+ devices controlling it.  Use our driver protocol or also works with iTach / GC protocol
