Hi,
This is my first post on this forum, and I would like to say that after a few hours reading through some posts, I am very impressed with all the work that has been done concerning the IP-BUS and Pioneer head unit!
I have a Pioneer head unit and the IP-BUS cable. I was looking for a way to control the computer through the head unit and found this forum. The problem is I have no knowledge of electronics and I also don't want to add more hardware to the setup I have, so building a hardware emulator and the YAMMP3 is not really an option. From what I have read, the hardware emulator interprets the data from the head unit and converts it to a standard RS232 format. Can the IP-BUS cable be connected directly to a serial port on a computer where software interpets and converts the data into commands which can control a software MP3 player?
If this is possible, it would be very good.
Thanks for any help.
Damian.
