extinstall 9960ex2.hex kamy.txt kamy-new.txt
Right? |
Assuming that the input file, s3c8asm.exe, and the 2 RDF's are in the same directory it should work fine.
Maybe I am wrong on the pvr_vod button. Maybe it is dead in the HT mode. I will check it out.

Any idea's on the motion sensor issue? It would be cool if there was a sensitivity setting, but I'd settle for it working. Everything else works great.

I am not sure what the problem is on later models. The one I have it works perfectly on. Until I can get my hands on a later model I have no idea what the problem is. My guess is that the values for the interrupts is different in later revisions. I am still looking into it. By the way, are you using Version 2 Beta 2. If not try it and let me know if it changes anything.
Thanks

I've tried the Version 2, but it didn't make any difference. I have notice something that may be helpful. After pressing a key, the backlight will stay as long as you keep moving the remote, and if you move it as starts dimming and before completly off, it will turn back on. I don't know if that helps, but I appreciate your efforts.
Thanks,

What that tells me is that the interrupts may be different when the backlight is off or on. Back to tinkering

Nils, what are the differences between beta 2 and the release of extender 2?

The relased version has a significant rewrite in the screen management area, improved button group management, and improved some other processes. It is worth migrating to.

I think you will be pleased with it. It is much smoother and dependable. I would have actually made it a dot release if it wasn't so different internally. One thing you will like is that with the O_ device code you can change device icons from any macro and it does not have to be on the device button. The only exception is that any O_ device on the HT button will change to that O_ device and iluminate the HT icon.

Nils,
Thanks for creating the Extender, excellent work! Please provide advise on a small problem:
I have some learned keys for the Audio Device that I need to bring over to the Extended version; however, when I put these keys under the KeyMoves window, they would not work on the remote. Other moved keys work as expected.
Is it better to do a device upgrade and bring that over? I only have about 6 learned keys for the Audio Device and was hopping that a device upgrade would not be necessary (since I don't know how to do one, yet).
Thanks,
Don |

Learned signals are not moved by the Extinstall program which you already noticed. If you can create keymoves against an existing device code in the remote they should work. If the learned signals do not match an existing device in the remote then the best bet would be to create a device upgrade and load it in the extender IR image. You could also put the device upgrade in the original and Extinstall will move them. The device upgrade would take less memory also. Not knowing your audio device I can't say for sure but there may already be an upgrade for it over at the jp1 files section.
By the way, I hope your are using the release version 2_1. I only asked since you posted this under the Beta thread.

Nils,
I'm using Version 2.1 (just didn't know to post in the right place). The strange thing is that the keymoves for the TV device work fine while those for the Audio device don't--I'm using the same EFCs from the originally learned buttons. My Audio device is the Panasonic SA HE-200 (Code: 1518). The remote is sending out IR signals when I press these moved keys (at least the transmit lights flash). I'll have to play around with it some more tonight.
Side notes: man, the macros on this thing is FAST! Had to learn to use the Pause protocol to slow it down. It's pretty cool what you've done with the Extender! However, the wife is not too happy that I'm spending so much time with the "stupid" remote! 
Keep up the good work!

Seems to me since the 1518 audio device is in fact in the remote, the keymoves to that device should work. I am not sure without seeing the IR .txt file what is going on. Upload it to the jp1/files/diagnostics file area so I can get a look at it. Let me know when it is there.

That should be an indication that it is in fact sending a signal just may not be the right one.

You should hear my wife. Goes crazy everytime a new remote comes in the house and says there goes another month shot to hell..
