Audio Line-In works !!!

[mrnpod]

Hello.
I am happy to inform you, that the Audio Input pins of the iPod Touch are active,
and can be used for connecting any Audio source (like an external Mic, your CD-player, FM radio, etc) for recording. This also opens the doors for VoIP
applications!!

The way I tested it: Modded an old docking cable and connected the Line-In
pins to a source of Audio signal. Then used the Voice recorder App originally
written for the iPhone. The dock pinouts are here: http://ipodlinux.org/Dock_Connector
I have photos of the setup if anybody is interested.
Cheers!

Hi there,

That sounds really cool. It would be great if you can post the photos of the set-up here. I want to know how you managed to make it work.

Cheers

Would'n't it work with something like that or that?

There is one pic showing the setup. just click on the thumbnail.
in case you mean schematics, then it is simple:
acc to the docking station page you just connect
Gnd (Ground) to Gnd, and the source to Line-In R, ev, Line-In L.
The resistors I only used to lower the output level of the
Marantz Layla, as it gives signal over 2-3Vpp.
You do not need it for test purposes.
In order to connect a Mic, either we use a preamplifier,
or maybe there is even an extra Mic pin, with a sensitivity of some mV.

and something 4 voip?

>> Would'n't it work with something like that or that?

Yes, it should. Given that the 5V DC out pin of the Touch is active
as it is in the case of prev models.
Somebody, if you have that device, pls try the Voice Memo app.
