Common Extender 3.02 translation of upgrades question

Post by ElizabethD »

I copied this question from p.55 of RMIR prototype work in Software. It appears that it might be answered in the Extender forum instead, so here I am.

(3) RM: I'm slowly moving Atlas upgrades from extender 2.11 to 3.02. So far I've hit a strange translation.

In v2.11 device upgrade I have are 2 functions assigned to Phantoms 2 and 3, buttons $C1 and $C2, like this from the Output tab of RM:
C1 F0 04 17 EA 01 0A«DiscreteOFF: also turns off HDMI gear»¦
C2 F0 04 17 EA 81 06«DiscreteON: Only TV no related gear»

v2.11 RDF:
Phantom1=$C0:Shift+XShift,Phantom2,Phantom3,Phantom4,Phantom5,Phantom6,Phantom7,Phantom8,Phantom9,Phantom10

In v3.02 the same functions are assigned to Phantom 2 and 3, buttons $68 and $69 which is correct.
68 F0 04 17 EA 01 0A«DiscreteOFF: also turns off HDMI gear»¦
69 F0 04 17 EA 81 06«DiscreteON: Only TV no related gear»

$68 and $69 go onto X-shift List and X-shift Up on the Buttons tab, but not on the Layout for X-shift.
X-shift List and Up are $E8 and $E9. Not $68-69.
When this new goofy .rmdu is pushed into RMIR, the shaded keymoves are correct, no trace of List or Up, yet Device Editor lists them.
v3.02 RDF:
Phantom2=$68:Shift+XShift,Phantom3,Phantom4,Phantom5,Phantom6,Phantom7,Phantom8,Phantom9,Phantom10

This was the file I used and what came out is here

I don't know what is going on in the tools but I have seen odd behavior when one of the key values show up in some of the "mystery" keys that the remote can somehow process and are in the key lists.

Shift is $80, Xshift is $C0 added to the key value (actually ORed) so if you look in the button list do you see those values for those keys (the button lists are in the RDF but more importantly they are built in to the remote and we can't change them)
this JP1 stuff is a sickness!
