Above is a simple wired remote control for an Ipod. I bought this just for the sake connector, which is not available separately to purchase in India. So I blew it, to check the internal connections. No this is of not much use in as a dock connector. It should be used as a remote controller and nothing more than that. So I decided to use it to make an IR remote, instead of a docking station for Ipod. I will be doing this when I get some time to do. This thing is pretty good, uses a small microcontroller (May be a pic), 8 pin. its very simple to use and cheaper to buy.
Now a days very busy with writing up process for QA, which seems to be very tough task. So have scheduled to do this project after one month.
