Anybody feel like building their own IR repeater?

I moved the start of the Adv Codes to $500 and put a bunch of upgrades (the same with different setup codes) into the upgrade area. The one just before the boundary, the one that crossed the boundary and the one that was above the boundary worked fine in the 9960B01 extender.

haven't tested fully ...

I would like to find a way to specify the four key codes and the total inputs in one place if possible. I've never written any kind of protocol, nor have I looked at anything you've done thus far...

However, couldn't this be done as fixed data in a dummy upgrade? By that I mean specifying the ...

I won't venture an opinion about how you implement it, but I'm very interested in this functionality. I'll certainly be helping you test it. Right now, I'm using a cascading series of double key macros to automate changing inputs. One thing that I've discovered with my TV is that I have to put a ...

Hmm, let me think about that one. Thanks for the idea.

So, I would like opinions about a better way to implement a feature that I added, which is the one that supports TVs with no discrete input commands. The new protocol takes as parameters the input number you want to select, the total number of inputs, and the key codes for the menu, up, down, and ...

Ah yes, I see that now. I guess it's a trial-and-error job to figure out the last thing in the upgrade area, huh?

jsevinsk

So, in what order does IR pack the devices and protocols in the upgrade area?

jsevinsk

Oh well, that stinks. I guess I could fill up the upgrade area and see if the last one I added works.

I'm new at this, can you tell?

I just changed these lines:

Code: Select all

Asm file:
NewKeyMoveArea = 500	;1;

IR file:
AdvCodeAddr=$500..$781
UpgradeAddr=$100..$4FF

You mean it's not just that easy?

I added a few enhancements to the 6131 extender, which include:

* Upgrade area is 256 bytes larger

* Temporary device stack: X_DVD, X_PVR, etc temporary device keys push the previous temporary device on a stack. New X_Pop command pops the last device off of the stack and makes it the current ...

I have another feature that I've been working on (that I mentioned in another thread) that is a state controller, but it's closely tied to device selection. You define DSMs for three phantom keys for each device you have. The first key, called the Activate key, will have all the commands to activate ...

Hmm, I really wanted to know how desirable something like this would be, but I think jsevinsk beat me to it. I guess I can wait and see how his is received.

Here's the idea for mine: (It's the header of the function in the extender I'm working on ...

The ReadMe file for RemoteMaster says that it displays asterisks next to the buttons that are not in the kemap for the current device type. How does it know which are in the keymap and which aren't?
