Glow with the Show ears

[The Robman]

Hey shooter, this is a totally wild guess, but see if this works as an off command for the left ear

unsigned int L_Off[] = {2085 ,417 ,834 ,834 ,2085 ,1251 ,417 ,417 ,417 ,834 ,417 ,1251 ,834 ,417};

No luck, but thanks for trying, I really appreciate it!

[The Robman]

I haven't seen anyone post anything other than "both" and "right" codes. I noticed that the difference between a "both" code and a "right" code is that one particular bit is set, so I tried setting the other bit and then re-calculating the CRC checksum.

[The Robman]

There is a whole array of combo codes available, like Cool White and Light Blue that I could probably re-format for you, look here:

That's awesome, thank you. I wish I understood it. I mean, I get the concept, but I am unable to process the details.

Before I ask if you can reformat, I'd like to try to figure it out myself. I mostly learned to walk again, hopefully I can mostly learn to learn again.

ok, let me see if I can help you with that, first off, here's a binary representation of the data that actually gets sent in these signals:

0-00001001-1 0-00000110-1 0-01100101-1 - off
0-00001001-1 0-00010110-1 0-00100110-1 - off_r
0-00001001-1 0-10000110-1 0-00011111-1 - blue
0-00001001-1 0-10010110-1 0-01011100-1 - blue_r
0-00001001-1 0-01000110-1 0-01011000-1 - green

0-00001001-1 0-00100110-1 0-11100011-1 - red
0-00001001-1 0-00110110-1 0-10100000-1 - red_r
0-00001001-1 0-10100110-1 0-10011001-1 - magenta
0-00001001-1 0-10110110-1 0-11011010-1 - magenta_r
0-00001001-1 0-01100110-1 0-11011110-1 - yellow
0-00001001-1 0-01110110-1 0-10011101-1 - yellow_r
0-00001001-1 0-11100110-1 0-10100100-1 - white
0-00001001-1 0-11110110-1 0-11100111-1 - white_r

The 8-bit chunks are the ones that you will see hex codes posted for. But the binary is "backwards", so taking the first chunk, it's "00001001" even though the hex code for is is "90" (ie, the binary for "90" is "10010000").

To convert my binary into your data, you need to convert each digit to "417". The 0s represent ON time and the 1s represent OFF time. In your data, the first time is ON, the next is OFF, etc.

So, let's look at my binary string for "off":
0-00001001-10-00000110-10-01100101-1

Now let's look at your data for "off":
unsigned int Off[] = {2085 ,417 ,834 ,834 ,2502 ,834 ,417 ,417 ,834 ,834 ,834 ,417 ,417 ,834};

My binary starts with five zeroes, so 5 times 417 is 2085, therefore the first number in your string should be 2085, which it is. Next, I have a single 1, so your next number should be 417. Next I have 2 zeroes, so you should have 834 (ie, 2*417=834). Etc.

With that knowledge, you should be able to take any hex string, then convert it to binary, reverse all the binary, all the extra bit that I show (ie, an extra 0 at the start, 10 between each byte and an extra 1 at the end, then you can convert the binary into the timings needed for your application.

That makes sense and I tried to convert the Light Purple hex on https://sites.google.com/site/listentoo ... hacking-gw to binary and flipping it. I added the leading 0 and the trailing 1 with 10 between each chunk, but it didn't work.

Light Purple 0x91 0E 03 BD
0-10001001-10-11000000-10-11000000-10-10111101-1
0 1 000 1 00 11 0 11 000000 1 0 11 000000 1 0 1 0 1111 0 11
417, 417, 1251, 417, 834, 834, 417, 834, 2502, 417, 417, 417, 417, 1668, 417, 834

I also tried without leading (trailing) zeros

Light Purple 0x91 0E 03 BD
0-10001001-10-0111-10-1100-10111101-1
0 1 000 1 00 11 00 1111 0 11 00 1 0 1111 0 11
417, 417, 1251, 417, 834, 834, 834, 1668, 417, 834, 834, 417, 417, 1668, 417, 834


So, maybe if you can see what I did wrong, I can try again.

So, maybe if you can see what I did wrong, I can try again.

I didn't get the same code as you, here's the binary that I got:
0-10001001-10-01110000-10-11000000-10-10111101-1

And then converting that into the data that you need:

Code: Select all

0    1    000   1    00   11   00   111   0000  1    0    11  000000 1    0    1    0    1111  0    11

417, 417, 1251, 417, 834, 834, 834, 1251, 1668, 417, 417, 834, 2502, 417, 417, 417, 417, 1668, 417, 834

I reversed your binary back into hex, you were using 91 03 03 BD rather than 91 0E 03 BD

[ishootstuff]

Thank you! That worked and made a color I have not seen. So I did it right, I just did it a little wrong

I got a compile error when I first tried, but I figured out one of your 834's had a period following it instead of a comma. I have double vision, so I do that a lot. I corrected the syntax and BOOM!

Thank you again!

What's the word Shooter, do any of those new functions work?

[ishootstuff]

Sorry for the late reply, I have been sick - surprise, surprise.

YES, the codes work! Thanks!

FYI, the "right" ear is right from the perspective of the viewer, not the wearer. I don't know if the original creator did this intentionally, but the boards in the ears are silk screened GlowEars R v2.2 and GlowEars L v2.2. Assuming the tag goes in back, L&R are from the perspective of the wearer.

[The Robman]

Re: left/right: Interesting, I would correct it but as the codes are scattered all over the internet, I think it's too late.

I have bought one of these hats on ebay myself so I can do some experimenting. I'd like to write an executor to generate the code, and maybe even the CRC checksum.

[MickeyMouseErrors]

My son recently found youtube videos on hacking/programming the "glow with the show" Mickey Ears from the link I included below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdiWtt24QEI

He asked me to help him complete this but I am not having much success and I was hoping someone could help. I could not find the remote referenced in the video but did find an Insignia that is JP 1.x compatible and I also purchased the JPX FLash cable.

As I follow the directions I get an error for every one of the UEI Codes I enter that says "Malformed learned signal: Burst table extends beyond end of hex." I am pretty lost as to what to do and I have not been able to find anything specific regarding these errors in any of the support documentation or on the internet. I was hoping you might know or be able to point me in the right direction. I truly appreciate any information or advice you might be able to provide.

When using RMIR, try deleting the first 3 bytes of the posted code.

For example, for BLUE, instead of using the following posted code:
00 00 1B 00 D2 05 04 12 00 D0 01 A1 01 A1 00 D0 00 D0 03 42 01 A1 03 42 04 E3 06 01 23 24

Use this:
00 D2 05 04 12 00 D0 01 A1 01 A1 00 D0 00 D0 03 42 01 A1 03 42 04 E3 06 01 23 24
