Ever hear of SIB-KIS? See It Big- Keep It Simple.
You can do this with a simple relay and wall wart 12VDC power supply, triggered by the Denon. I have done it many times and it works great- I used a plastic project box or if time was short, an electrical junction box with no holes. a Bosch-style automotive relay draws about 150mA (typically less) and it's easy to wire-
Tab 85- +12V from wall wart
Tab 86- - from the wall wart
30- output from relay, to the equipment
Tab 87a- NC (No Connection)
Tab 87- +12V, looped from Tab 85
The wall wart obviously needs to be sized correctly.
If you're working on a trigger circuit for a Denon AVR and need a reliable FPGA for signal processing or automation, you might want to check out the
XC6SLX16-3CSG225I. This Spartan-6 FPGA offers low power consumption and high performance, making it a great choice for AV and automation projects. I found it on Ovaga, where they have detailed specs and availability. Has anyone here used an FPGA for AVR automation? Would love to hear your experiences!
