How to improve the Eny Square (Ott) M8, M8S, etc. IR Remote Reception Quality
How to improve the Eny Square (Ott) M8, M8S, etc. IR Remote Reception Quality
So I was digging into my remote problem with the M8S box. I noticed the remote works well when I directly target the blue receiving triangle. But from an angle it's pretty much unusable. So I took the box apart and found that the receiver is sitting too far in the housing, so pointing at it from an angle, blocks the sensor.
How to fix:
Open the box by removing the screws (screws under the rubber feet on the bottom) and splitting it with a small flat head screwdriver, or blade (dangerous). It's clipped together!
In there you remove the triangle plastic piece and unscrew the sensor/led pcb-board. The cable is pretty long, so I simply clammed the pcb in between the housing as shown in the pictures. If you're adventurous you could also simply desolder the sensor and cable it to the front of the housing.
#DiySOS I like it i decided to spend £8 and buy a better remote with usb plug in a lot faster than standard item at any angle infact you don't even need to point it
