UPC HORIZON REMOTE

If you have learned signals that don't get decoded when you look at them in IR.exe, post your file to the Diagnosis Area then post your question here (including a link to the file).

I thought you did that on purpose, as a teaching exercise. Debugging is the way I learn.

Anyway, I did a spot check on your protocol and you still have a few silly little errors. 8-)

I put my KM, RM and pb files here

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.

Yup, I see them now. How does the leadout time look, does it need adjusting? Did the checksum come out OK?

I used the 119000 leadout time from the decodes, and that looks great. For the keys that I spot checked, the checksum on mine works too. (Your reverse was using the wrong register).

I didn't bother loading up a learning remote with the signal and shooting it at the widget, so there is some staggering due to the differences in the capture devices, but all in all the pictures look great.

You saw that you had the leadout lo indstead of 1-onlow.

All in all this was a wonderful learning exercise for me. I have a new way of thinking about dividing up bytes. I learned how to reverse a byte. I experienced a mid-frame burst.

The more examples I work the more I confident I get. Too bad I can't do the binary checksum stuff. Then I would be totally self-sufficient.

Vicky, I for one would love to see one of your great write-ups about protocol building. I'm like the opposite of you...I can do all the bit-twiddling and recognize the patterns, but I have no clue how to turn that into an working protocol unless it fits the pre-defined patterns of PB. It's a very intriguing area and I've love to learn more!

Thanks for the confirmation Phil, I have copied the RMDU file to the cable box section:

Refresher

Post by Testme »

Hi all,
I find this forum very interesting.

I'm searching for these Samsung IR remote codes (SMT-G7401) to send them via the Arduino / library IRRemote.
But I'm having trouble understanding these files and file types. I can't seem to find the protocol that is used for sending the codes stored in these files.

I don't expect anyone to be around here who made these codes. But anyone who can tell anything is welcome and greatly appreciated.

We're all still here. I can explain the protocol but I don't know the Arduino format, so you would either need to do that yourself or get help from Barf (who wrote IrScrutinizer).

Thank you Rob,

I got in touch with Barf, and he helped me solve the issue.

UEI has created an official executor and setup code for this one, it's CABLE/3477 and it uses executor $0225, and it's for the Ziggo Mediabox XL.

It's in the following RMIR file:

For the record: IrpTransmogrifier contains this protocol as "Samsung-SMT-G" since August 30, 2018, which means that both IrScrutinizer and current Remotemaster know it. Remains to put in the mapping to executor 0225.

I've been meaning to write a protocols.ini entry for it, so at least now I know what to call it.
