Repeat Rate for TDC Protocol

Post by alanrichey »

Just had a user report the double-click problem with a box using the TDC Protocol. Usual question :D Could someone tell me which byte to change to set the repeat rate to zero.

Hi Alan,
Sorry, I didn't see this before. I just went into RMIR to look at doing this for you and when I went to TDC from the dropdown, I'm seeing (TDC no repeats).

I got that TDC no repeats version by appending that file you maintain, to my protocols.ini.

Are you saying that variant is not working, or that its not appearing in your dropdown list?

I'm not sure which of the 3 possible executors you're interested in using: TDC TDC-38 or TDC-56, but for most executors, including all 3 of these TDC executors, the right nibble of the 7th byte is the one to change. We just need to set the least significant bit to 0. So for TDC:
44 8B 21 8B 14 86 81 10 06 07 00 9D 00 89 00 9D 00 89 AD D4 FF FF FF FF 05 18 03 37 10 0E C6 0E 2D 5D 1C 6A 19 15 19 17 19 19 19 1B 8D 01 49
Change 81 to 80. If the right nibble has some odd number other than 1, change
3 --> 2
5 --> 4
7 --> 6
9 --> 8
B --> 9
D --> C
F --> E

This works for any executor which uses the IR engine to handle repeats. A few IR protocols need an executor which itself handles the logic on whether to repeat, and those executors really do need an expert to modify.

Sorry, my apologies. Senior moment :D As you say, I had it all along. The reason was that I was on holiday using a different laptop and didn't click it wasn't up to date. Back home now and there it is.

That used to happen to me all the time when I was using a desktop and a laptop. Now I use a laptop and a tablet, so I'm useless most of the time. I read something that needs our tools and don't have them available. Then I forget that something needs my attention.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.
