I need codes for a Windmere Fan

Post by 15-1994 »

I'm trying to create an Upgrade for this fan using my 15-1994, but I'm runnig into problems. The First one is that after I learn the codes from the Original Remote (I already did it more than twice) and checking this info in IR, the codes for On that togle into 1/2/3 different speeds and the code for Off, are giving me the same information (Old Panasonic Codes):



Power Old Panasonic 31 63 FF or FD or FE 181 or 165 or 189 On funtion

CD SHIFT-Power Old Panasonic 31 63 FF or FD or FE 181 or 165 or 189 Off Funtion

My second problem seems to be that even when I use this info in KM (I even try all 3 EFC for each key) I don't get any response from the fan. By the way when I use the 15-1994 with the codes that I lear from the Original Remote, for every funtion the fan response is correct.

CD 1s Old Panasonic 25 48 0F or 0D or 0E 058 or 042 or 066 Oscilation Funtion
CD 2s Old Panasonic 25 36 27 or 25 or 26 251 or 235 or 003 Timer Funtion
CD 3s Old Panasonic 25 20 2B or 29 or 2A 091 or 075 or 099 Breeze Funtion


In Km I try 0 and 1 for the second byte funtions.

1) The Old Panasonic decodes are totally wrong, so don't try to base an upgrade on them

2) Get DecodeIR.DLL and put it in the directory with IR.EXE because it will probably prevent these wrong decodes from displaying and it might even give correct decodes.

3) Jon has helped several people construct upgrades for various fan protocols and the same few protocols have been seen multiple times. Search the upgrade area and forum messages to see if there is already an upgrade posted.

4) If you can't find it, then save the file from IR.EXE that includes the learned signals and post that to the diagnosis folder and post the URL back here (see one of the discussions about posting Yahoo URLs because it takes a little extra tweaking to post a correct one).

I fallow your recomendation, although it seems I already had those files in the same directory with IR.EXE, however; I did replaced them just to be safe. Anyhow, I did get the same result when I decode the signal that I learn from the Original Remote Control (ORC).
Search the upgrade area and forum messages to see if there is already an upgrade posted.
I looked, but I did not find any upgrades.

I would post my IR file in the diagnosis to see if somebody can help

Here is my IR text file with the five codes that I learn form the ORC:

He's right, the signals do decode as Old Panasonic. I took a look at them and it's a very simple signal.

Freq = 38 khz
no lead in
0 pair = +632 -1900
1 pair = +1898 -634
lead out = -20268

the whole signal repeats

the signal is 24 bits long where the first 8 bits are constant (device code), the next 8 bits are the command code and the final 8 bits are an exact repeat of the command code (ie, NOT complimented)

the binary for the five listed commands is:

On funtion
Off Funtion
Oscilation Funtion
Timer Funtion
Breeze Funtion

00110011 00111010 00111010
00110011 11010010 11010010
00110011 11000101 11000101
00110011 01100010 01100010
00110011 01011000 01011000

Before you get too far into the analysis, we've looked at this before in Yahoo messages 15091 and 15364. Jon, did you ever post the PB file you used to create this?

Mike,

Good memory! I think I did this in PB before it had the ability to export the text file. Let me see if I can dig out something useful.

Here it is both the Device upgrade and PB upgrade. Felipe, the protocol builder file is just FYI. You should copy the device AND protocol upgrade from the KM device upgrade Windmere_Fan_KM.txt included in the zip.
