John, if you could provide me with a link to the latest devices4 file, and/or how do you tell what version of that you have, it's not clear on that file.

devices4 hasn't been updated in years, so the one in the file section should be the most current.

I take it most of you experts are into RM instead of KM, so KM no longer gets updated? By the way, had some success getting the +100 key to work on another NEC protocol, though it's not working now, might have to upload the saved file, if I didn't make a mistake saving it......however, the +10 key, while getting a reaction on the cd player, seems to only select track 06, 66, then stop working till I hit the select button to blank out the LCD and start over. While this is a nice learning exercise, hitting the digits one at a time seems to work, so I just may leave this.....heck, who am I kidding, I want to see if I can get it to work!

Rob was speaking of the devices4 spreadsheet, not KM. (Perhaps you didn't notice this post today? ) I think you'll find that most of "us experts" use both the KM and RM programs as is appropriate to the problem at hand.

Excellent, I just want to be on the cutting edge!

You're right. The latest Devices4.xls (from 12/25/03) has the error you described.

I was using an OLDER Device4.xls (from 3/27/02) that gets this right.

You may need to also consult the new devices.xls file that has a much larger selection of setup codes and more accurate protocol and device info (but doesn't include EFC numbers). Then get just the EFC numbers from Devices4.

I left the protocol at NEC1, as was generated by the program. Am I understanding this right?

Right.

Ok, I finally got the +10 and +100 keys on aux, since +100 had a subdevice of 72, I had to do them separately, with keymoves over to the CD key. So now everything is working the way I want, tonight I'll try a few macros. I do have a lot of moves listed in the keymoves tab, which are taking up quite a bit of memory. Can I delete these, or at least the phantom ones, if I'm not using them? What's the best way to check to see if they are needed? For example I now have a small TV on the aux key, but I have seven keymoves listed under aux. I inputted the setup code for this TV directly, and needed no changes afterwards. I'm guessing these are old keymoves leftover from tinkering and keymoving to other devices. Advice? Thanks, Don
