JP1 Remotes

Nils_Ekberg · Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 11:34 am Post subject: Extender Code Calc - Request

For the life of me I can't remember who built this spread sheet so I will put out a general request to get it updated with the 8060 and 9960 extenders.

Thanks...

I've added them and uploaded it as v2.14 (extenderCodeCalc.zip).
Nils, could you check if I did it right? I'm not quite sure because these remotes have some weired shifted keys and lots of conflicts in Xshifted codes.

BTW, how can I create an "Announcement" topic?

I uploaded an updated ExtenderCodeCalc vTEST for Hal.zip in the jp1 extender folder for you to look at.

I noticed a couple of buttons (CH+ and VOL+) were missing so I went thru the whole thing for the 8060 and 9960 and replaced the remote specific panels.

What I did was add all the shift buttons and the xshift buttons that were not in conflict with the shift buttons. In both of these remotes the xshift buttons are actually only used as extra buttons kind of like phantoms and have very little meaning other than 4 buttons that I handle differently in the extenders.

Nils,

Thanks for the corrections. A perl script I wrote had a couple of bugs and they were causing the problems you mentioned.

I got some questions:

1. Have you (or anyone else) every tried the key codes FE and FF, and do they actually work? It's not that I saw a problem myself, but I've been avoiding them just instinctively. Never mind if they are working.

urc9960ex2:

2. Isn't "xs-Format{Replay} F4" a typo? In the RDF, Format{Replay}=$3A. I think it should be FA.

urc8060ex1:

3. In the RDF, the keycode of the "SP/LP" button is 40 (not $40), so my script put $28 there. Is that a typo in the RDF, or $40 is the correct key code? (If $28 is correct, Shift-SP/LP=A8, xs-SP/LP=E8.)

4. In your version, the following buttons have three key codes each. Do all of them work?

Shift-vol+ 44
Shift-vol- 45
Shift-ch+ 46
Shift-ch- 47

Shift-VOL+ 84
Shift-VOL- 85
Shift-CH+ 86
Shift-CH- 87

Shift-vol+ C4
Shift-vol- C5
Shift-ch+ C6
Shift-ch- C7

I'll upload the new version once these things get cleared.

An addition that I would like to see is the addition of a button to the Breakdown tab that will copy the decoded commands to the Calculator tab for editting.

Also, on the "Keymove Calc" tab I don't get a dropdown list to select the extender. Typing it in works though. I also get "Invalid Bound Key???" errors for the following keys (2116ext2): shift-left, shift-right, shift-stop_eject, shift-scan{fav}, scan{fav}.

Keep up the good work!
