Diode part number - 1537 controller
« on: March 14, 2020, 06:20:21 PM »
Would anyone happen to know what kind of diode d20 is on the 1537? I think d18 is the same kind too but I have a controller that needs to replace d20 and I'm not sure what to order for it. It looks different than the 1N4001 diodes.
Thanks for any help!

D18 and D20 are both IR (InfaRed) LEDs. No idea what an exact replacement would be, but they stopped installing them on the 1697 board and left the spots unpopulated. Then later version controllers don't even have the places for them, so they aren't even being used on them and I'm not entirely sure they are used on the 1537.
Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.

Ooooh right right right they're IR sensors for the Kinect! I totally forgot about that. They must have just ditched the whole thing later once they realized people weren't really every using it. Awesome! One less thing to worry about. Thanks!!
