Com'on Nils, make up your mind. You gonna open a worm farm business, or become an entomologist?

Ah, yes!! Another reason to love the Kamey. The smooth touch-membrane wipes off with a damp cloth!! |

OK, I received the 9960 from Rob on Saturday. I loaded the pre-alpha version of the extender and it lasted about 9 key presses. This I expected since I have not figured out all the ROM calls but it actually did better than expected. Atleast it loaded.
Anyway, here is a tease. Unless you already figured out how to control the backlight timer you can add this line to the end of the [SETTINGS] section of the RDF in the RDF ZIP V 1.10Backlight timer=$023.7.8.0.0 Then in IR on the setup panel scroll down to where you see this setting and change the value to whatever you like. 1 = approximately 7 seconds 3 = approximately 20 seconds. I can guarenty you that FF will kill the batteries overnight. _________________ Nils

Just a quick update to let you folks know I am working on the extender and have made good progress. I actually have it running in test and processing buttons and HT functions.
Having a problem with macro's and close to getting the screen selection working but can't finish that until I resolve the macro problem. I have asked some of the experts to take a look at my code just incase I am missing something obvious but it looks promising at this time. _________________ Nils

Shameless bump to express my interest in such a thing, as well as to get an update on your progress.
I will be useless in helping you code, but if you need any help with bug testing or something, drop me a line.
Best of luck! _________________ - Ninja |

How exciting =)
Where did you learn how to code for this sort of thing?
You couldn't have picked a better time for me, I am just finishing up all the wiring on my setup.
Hope you had a great vacation! _________________ - Ninja |

I don't know how to explain how I learned to "code for something like this" but basically I have been some form of programer for many years (more than I care to remember). Converting large systems assembler language to a remote is similar. The real work in doing this was done by the experts on this board and it is just a matter of following their lead.
Hope you try the beta I just posted so I can fix any problems quickly. _________________ Nils

From Christmas day until yeaterday I was on the road visiting family in NY and NJ, Florida for Disney and a friend of mines daughters wedding etc. Did some coding on the plane then fixed it when I got home
One thing I found out on vacation is that it is hard to keep up with this forum on a Blackberry. Only got to post once and that was a job in that little web window.. _________________ Nils

I'll post back with my results!
If I find any bugs, do you want them posted here, or emailed to you directly? _________________ - Ninja |

Actually, you can put the posts on the announcement thread. _________________ Nils
