vulkano and VU+ Ultimo

[manhattan222]

Have you verified IR LEDs are transmitting with a cellphone camera? The Vulkano also has IR transmitter LEDs connected to a long wire that can be plugged into the back. These LEDS can then be placed directly in front of the device. You should be able to see the white flashes in the cellphone camera when IR is being transmitted.

Perhaps you are doing a step incorrectly? Click on Advanced and then the Video button in the Setup wizard. Click on Device/STB Tab. Select any Device Category like Cable. Select Manufacturer. Click on Test to check ChannelUp. Click on IR-Learning Tab. You should be able to Learn, Test, Clear, Load, Save your bin files.

News:

I managed to run some remote control codes of VU + ULTIMO with PHILIPS universal remote. The codes recognize me are the numbers (0 to 9), channel up, channel down, right, left, up, down and keys green and red.

I managed to save a *. LRN

anyone can help me get the keys that I need?

Keys missing:

OK
blue
yellow
MENU
exit
on / off
epg
play
stop
record
fast rewind
fast forward
pause
help
recording list

The file *LRN here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ldfoqdl3jmdma3r

Thank you very much ...

I think we have the key values already ? The RMDU file is at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=10774

And it has been downloaded 221 times so I am guessing it is probably correct. As I understand it the problem is producing a BIN file that will work on the Vulkano ?

I'll be interested to know if the .LRN file confirms the values in the RMDU file.

I do not know the issue you mention. I've downloaded the file (*.RMDU) and I have Convert to the format *. BIN and not working properly

I do not know if the file I put above (*LRN), and known keys can get unknown keys ...

Did you use the Axum RDF ?

[binky123]

I extracted the data in the LRN file and analyzed using DecodeIR 2.43

Code: Select all

Chunk format is <keycode> <Length of Chunk> <2-byte offset?> <keycode> <Length of Learn Payload>
Take <Length of Learn Payload> and rest of <Length of Learn Payload> bytes and add 01 20 at the front and paste into 
IR Learned Data section to see the learned code analysis.

keycode 04,05 are probably CH+,CH-
keycode 09-12 are probably number 1-9,0
keycode 24,26-29 are probably up,down,left,right
keycode 52,53 are probably red and green

It looks like Learning is working on your Vulkano and your Philips universal remote is generating two different types of IR code(MCE and Nokia) depending on the button pressed.

Are you also saying that some Philips remote control buttons can control the VU+ Ultimo?

The VU+ Ultimo.RMDU file shows protocol 012A:2 MCE 16.82 FixedData=A9 32 95 55 66 59 56 55 and for CH+ has hex=20 and matches keycode 04. keycode 0A hex=2 matches number 2 in rmdu file. keycode 0B hex=3 matches number 3 in rmdu file.

[manhattan222]

Yes, some Philips remote control buttons can control the VU+ Ultimo.

I can control my VU+ ULTIMO with Philips universal remote control (numbers 0 to 9, channel up, channel down, right, left, up, down and keys green and red)

[binky123]

I don't think you can use a LRN file to control the VU+ Ultimo as the protocol uses a Toggle bit(T=0 or T=1). The learn code would be T=0 or T=1 but the device would work the first time and not the second time as the device is expecting the T value to alternate(T=0,T=1,T=0,T=1).

I don't know why the VU+ Ultimo.rmdu file with AXUM remote selected doesn't work. You may want to review your steps on how you are generating and using the AXUM bin file. Try using a RMDU file that can control another device of yours(like a TV).

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on the MCE and Nokia protocols can comment on the the learned data(does UEI remotes have trouble learning these protocols?) and the Fixed Data values(do they encode the mode=2?) in the RMDU file.

File LRN is to control the VU + ULTIMO from Vulkano. Vulkano a hardware like Slingbox and LRN file needs to work properly.

Alan created a AXUM bin file at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=11573 named V2010_Axum.bin.

Copy this to your PC at "C:\Program Files\Monsoon Multimedia\Vulkano\Setup Wizard" or to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Monsoon Multimedia\Vulkano\Setup Wizard" folder. There are many other BIN files in this folder. Full instructions are at http://vulkanocommunity.com/how-to-inst ... ary-codes/.

In the Setup Wizard, click on Advanced button then click on Video on left pane. Click on Setup/STB Tab. Click the "Select by Code" checkbox. Scroll to V2010. You can now Test the button codes.

You only need LRN files if a BIN file doesn't exist for that device. Once we have IR information from a LRN file, we can also create a BIN file for that device. It is better to use a BIN file whenever possible. I do have a Vulkano Blast and I'm familiar with what it does.

I think I tried that, and not work. I try again and say something on Thursday
