JP1 Remotes

Hi, I am trying to create a bin file for my FTA SE830 receiver for slingbox. I was able to control the device using Total Remote on my WM5 Pocket PC. I copied the working .ccf file to my pc and decoded using decodeCCF, then I used Remote Master to generate the bin file. I tried both JU and BL mode. But neither of them works. The following is the file converted from .ccf file. For whatever reason I can not find the NEC12 protocol, instaed I used NEC combined. Did I miss any thing? I appreciate your help.

Try ordinary NEC1 protocol.

NEC12 might be a varient of NEC1 that needs a special parm value (I don't recall what parm value). But in that case ordinary NEC1 may still work.

Or NEC12 might represent some error in generating the Pronto Hex for the CCF file you found. Ordinary NEC1 might be correct and the NEC12 incorrect but usable.

The device is 128 and the subdevice should be left blank.

If you post the CCF file itself, or provide a link to it if it's already on the web somewhere else, one of us can take a look at the raw hex to determine what the protocol really is.

I didn't read carefully enough the first time, and failed to notice that the decodes indicate 40Khz, rather than the usual 38Khz.

On that issue as well, we can only guess whether the CCF was wrong, or if it was right whether the difference matters.

If 40Khz is correct and required, you can get that via JP1.

First, thank you all for your help!
What confuses me is the subdevice number. It's different for each command. Only NEC Combo allow me to type in subdevice number in Function tab. So I choose that one. If I choose NEC1, I do not know how to deal with those different different subdevice number. This receiver is not very popular yet, so I did not find any ccf for it on the web. Here is how I create a the ccf file: I found a generic one for sat receiver. Then I loaded it to my Pocket PC, then I relearn the buttons using my SE830 receiver, then I my pocket pc remote against SE830 receiver. After making sure all button works, I download the ccf file to my pc to decode. The ccf file has two controls (sat and sat2). I only trained the sat. So please ignore the sat2. You can get the ccf file here:

The tab stops in DecodeCCF output confused you. It is best to read that output in a program such as Excel that (when told to import that way) strictly obeys the tabs regardless of column width.

In fact your decodes have no subdevice at all. The three numbers in a row are Device, OBC, and EFC.

I think the PocketPC software has an imperfect understanding of Pronto Hex. I think it has learned NEC1 signals and imperfectly represented them in the CCF file, so that DecodeIr.dll can't tell exactly which form of NEC protocol was intended.

The variation between forms of NEC is pretty subtle. Usually things mostly work even if those details are wrong.

SAT2 is Russound:13. A few of the Sat signals are Russound:12. I assume those should also be ignored.

I took a look at the actual signals and I'm pretty confident that they are really NEC1, so I have created the following upgrade that should work this receiver...

It looks like you left "Main device" blank. I assume that was accidental and you should have 128 there.

Rob,

Your upgrade has no device number nor subdevice number. I understand th "no subdevice" discussion, but should the device be BLANK? or should it be 128?

Too much haste, I've just added the device code

Hi, Rob:
Thank you for your response and converted file. I imported the file to Remote Master, and generated the JU and PL version bin files, then copied to SBAV folder, but when I go to slingbox setup wizard, and type in S0830 (I changed the setup code to 0830) in alternative code box, I get the following message:
"The slingbox can not load the ir code you selected...". Do I need to reboot the slingbox? Maybe I miss something when generating the files, could anyone generate a bin file for me to test? I appreciate your help.

It works now. Mistake on my side. I copied the bin file to my home computer, but trying to update the ir code using my work computer. That's why it can not find the ir code. So you can change the status for SE830 to "tested". I got great help from this forum!

Glad to hear that you got it sorted out. Did I get the brand name correct (ie, Globecast) as I found that by doing a Google search.

Also, is this a satellite box or a box that pulls HD from a regular antenna?

The brand name is correct. It is not for HDTV. It is for Free To Air program.

Let me ask the question another way, what do you have the box connected to? A satellite dish, an antenna or something else?
