I have just received an IRtrans ethernet module for use with the iRedtouch software. So far, I am very impressed. Plug and play, the product is well made and functions well.
Like many posters on this forum, I wish to use the module with external LEDs - in my case via an external LED driver as I have 8 LEDs to drive. I understand that you cant recommend third party products that you have not tested, but could you be more specific about the driving capability of the module so that users can make up their own mind about connectivity (and at their own risk). In particular, for the IR output:
1. What is the open circuit output voltage of the module's IR output
2. What is the current sourcing capability of the module's IR output
3. What is the value of the series resistor
In addition, I have seen reference to an internal jumper for a high output LEDs and also to an optional dual output that uses a stereo 3.5mm jack. I can't seem to find any documentation on this - can you point me in the right direction please.
Thanks in advance.
