JP1 Remotes

Hi all,

Wondered if I could get some help programming my 8910 macro that I'd like to create with a pause code.

I've uploaded the 8910 extender, but now I'm lost. I really didn't understand the 'phantom' concept.

I'd like to have my macro go: TV -> Pause -> Power

TV Code is 1454 - Philips 27PT91S - there were like 2 sold in the US & I got 1 of them!

Once I get the hang of this I want to build an upgrade specifically for this tv & upload it to the group - for the other person that bought this tv!

What you need is the pause special protocol that can be found in the Special Protocols folder.

Here's the device upgrade...

Upgrade code 0 = 0C 50 (TV/1104)
FB 00 01
End

And here's the protocol upgrade...

Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 FB (S3C80)
00 00 01 E4 03 C2 C6 C0 00 00 0A FE 1A FC 2A FA
AF
End

Normally you would assign a keymove to a phantom button to invoke this protocol, but if you're uncomfortable using phantoms, pick a shifted button that you don't need.

When you're programming the keymove, select the HEX radio button (ie, don't use EFC) then enter the hex code for the delay you need. Hex $10 would give you a 1 second pause, $20 would give you 2 seconds, etc.

Unless you have some sort of key move defined for the TV button, the pause in that macro doesn't make any sense. TV simply selects the TV device mode on the remote; it doesn't send any other commands. The Pause would have no effect on anything. Am I missing something, or is there a reason you think you need that Pause?

Here is a series of commands decoded from an Official Pronto ccf file posted at the Pronto website. These are for TV/0154 (the main built in setup code in the 8910 and most other OFA remotes). Where is says command not available, that means you can't get it by assigning Advanced codes aka EFC's. It will take the creation of a device upgrade for the upper 64 commands of RC5 device 3.

The point is try these commands first and see what you can get to work. Then you can go to macros and after that to the advanced features of an extender. As you can tell there is a pattern to the input commands. All discrete power commands are the same IF the unit responds to it.

Can't wait to get home to try all the ideas everyone gave me.

The reason I want a pause in my macro is because it seems that after TV is pushed, it takes my 8910 a moment to digest that command, and by pushing Power right afterwards doesn't work, but if I wait a couple of seconds it does.

Thanks again!

Now that I have the pause protocol, how do I enter it into IR.exe?

When I paste the following code into the add protocol area IR.exe asks for a protocol ID - what do I put? Here is what I am putting in:

0 = 01 FB (S3C80)
00 00 01 E4 03 C2 C6 C0 00 00 0A FE 1A FC 2A FA
AF
End

Also, the protocol txt file also says I need the following 'code' upgrade - does that mean I add it as a device? Here is what it says:

To use the protocol you also have to install a device upgrade like this one:
Upgrade code 0 = 1C 50 (TV/1104)
FB 00 01
End

If it does have to be added as a device, should it be added as a particular device?

I guess what I'm asking for is a walkthrough for adding a protocol in IR.exe if possible.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I searched the forum before posting this question. Thanks!!

Go back to my earlier post and cut & paste the code from there, you're missing some of the header line.

Yes, you post the small device upgrade as a device upgrade, then you point your PAUSE keymove to that device.

Sorry about that - did just what you said....

Thanks!!
