RS 15-100 macro speed

In this thread binky123 has posted a patch for decreasing the macro delay in the Atlas JP1.3 remotes. If anyone wants to try this on the Radio Shack 15-100, here you go. (I have not had time to test this yet, but it should work!

)

Fantastic! This upgrade makes macros quite a bit quicker. I was bummed thinking I'd have to wait for the extender. Thanks.

Not unexpectedly, one of my signals (power to the sat box) is a little too quick and is ignored. As binky123 posted, some commands may need an additional delay protocol. Can binky123's Atlas delay codes be adapted for the 15-100 as well? Can I just import them into KM and change the remote? I imagine it's trickier than that ...

In the meantime, I found a cheapo work around. It seems to activate the macro on the 15-100 power button, you have to hold it down. While doing this, the power button issues one command of the local device before sending out the IR programmed macro. That one command is a long signal, which my sat box actually sees. I think this a bug for the power button macro, but it actually works out in my favor.

Anyway thanks for upgrade!

If you just need to insert a delay between commands, the standard Pause protocol in KM should work. See KM's protocol help sheet (with the 15-100 remote selected on the Setup sheet).

Thanks. I'll look into trying the 01 FB protocol later this evening.

Anyway, as I said before, the current macro for the 15-100 power button has a "bug" (feature?), where it issues a single long power command of the current device and then the programmed macro. Seems unique to the power button. I can put an arbitrary macro on most other keys, with out the "pre-macro signal". I'm guessing the remote has some pre-programmed, protocol-related restrictions on the power macro. I'm sure you guys will start to come out with upgrade protocols to fix that issue

It's actually a feature. A long key press of the Power button executes a special macro which is supposed to be a master power toggle. When you configure it through the menus on the remote it prompts for all the devices you want to power on and off. This ends up as a macro on the power key consisting of those device selections. When it executes, it performs a power command after each device selection in the macro.
