JP1 Remotes

I must say that the original setup code you had chosen had a higher delay than the one you ended up using. Normally each key press for your TV sent out a minimum of 3 repeats, but we cut them down to 1 just so that we could shorten your macro to run in the time you'd allowed us to use.
I didn't so ...

After the failure of the H1 to learn the PVR macros onto a single button I reassessed my approach. I had been led to believe that speed of transmission was critical to a successful learn. My experience was contrary to that. Because the H1 did not know that the data stream consisted of multiple ...

Here is the good news. Each of the four TV macros are packed onto their own single button on the H1. The final crucial factor was the Pause. I had to insert it after every key, not just a Left-Left type run. That is because the H1 is not inserting its 500ms inter-key delay so I had to do it. I am ...

I have successfully taught my longest macro to a single H1 button and it is operational. Now to move from Alpha to Beta testing.

After several tries, the H1 said that it had detected a key. The signal from the RCA contained no repeats and no pauses. When I sent the signal from the H1 to the TV there was no indication that it responded at all (the TV does not have an LED to let you know a signal has been received). Not even ...

I'm glad you suggested starting with 0.125; that is as low as I could set it. I will be playing around with this for a few days.

No, I can't edit the learned signal. What I need to find out is how the Harmony treats multiple signals on one button with regard to timings.

I have really struck out ...

The problem is that if I add pauses I can almost guarantee that the Harmony will not learn the macro to a button. How long a pause did you have in mind? The fact that the RCA remote must have pauses for the macro to work is of no concern because I won't be using it except to shoot the macro to the ...

We are back on track. With binky123's correction and no repeats the ten command macro runs in 1.6 seconds as before AND the TV responds to TV buttons normally.

The macro executes only partially and I assume that is because of the need for those pauses. But won't those pauses make the macro take ...

Thanks, I'll make the change.

You'll still need to insert a PAUSE anywhere you have Left Left, or UP UP as these might not be the right. Our special Pause protocol needs to be tweaked to work with this remote, because UEI usurped OUR Pause protocol PID.

I have found the tweaked Pause and know how to add it. Now, how do I ...

If the TV doesn't respond, The harmony isn't going to improve things. Just to check my work, do the buttons work outside the macro.
No buttons were getting a response from the TV - unless I goofed and had the TV getting input from the TiVo at the time in which case I would not have seen any ...

Queeny,

I think you're making things unnecessarily difficult..

Yea Queeny could just chuck the Harmony and use the JP1 remote. :lol: :lol:

Should I dig out my old Z80 and 8086 assembler stuff and jump back into real programming instead of this Visual stuff? :lol: :lol: :lol:

In reading these ...

Queeny,

I think you're making things unnecessarily difficult. Realize with the harmony that you don't have to cram the whole 15 step macro into a single raw learn (unless you have a model 900 or 1100). You can spread it out over 5 learns, since that's your sequence limit. So just try to learn 2 or ...

OK, a ten command macro runs in about 1.6 seconds, about an 84% reduction.

The TV does not respond to any button. That is not a surprise as I already knew that this TV is sluggish in its response. It is of no concern for this project; I just want the Harmony to grab the signals.

It took a few ...

I downloaded from the remote and posted the file here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=8289 . Perhaps it will tell you whether I goofed or whether the remote ignores the upgrade.

TV/0150 seems to work, at least for the commands in my macros. It is third on the list ...
