Akord 5-port HDMI switch

Learn upload: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=25716

I've tried to convert these learned signals into an upgrade, and it just never works. It looks like a simple NEC protocol, but an upgrade created using the DecodeIR information doesn't work, whilst the new IrpTransmogrifier doesn't recognise it at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the product in question:

While the protocol is definitely similar to NEC1, it's not the same, so a new executor would be required. I could write one for an S3C8 remote, but your remote is a TI2541 remote and I don't know how to write those.

Hi CLeW, and welcome to the forum.

I extracted the signals to a file and put it through irptransmogrifer's analyze. (command line: irptransmogrifier anal --parameterwidths 8,8,8,8 --radix 10 --named x.txt ) Result:

Code: Select all

1         {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=74,D=181}
2         {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=232,D=23}
3         {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=28,D=227}
4         {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=202,D=53}
5         {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=24,D=231}
Shift-Ch- {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=96,D=159}
Shift-Ch+ {477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-3965u,A:8,B:8,C:8,D:8,1,-39.663000000000004m,18,-5,1,-78m){A=8,B=247,C=128,D=127}

So, as Rob says, its timing differs considerably from NEC1. IrpTransmogrifier did the right thing by not decoding, DecodeIR, just as it often does, produced an answer when no answer was appropriate.

Here's an executor embedded in a protocols.ini entry. Use Device 8, and OBC from Barf's decode value C. For example the digit 1 OBC is 74

Code: Select all

For those interested, here are comments on the executor:

I used Rob's timing values because those map directly into the executor. Tested with a URC7980 and IR Widget.

Excellent work, guys! Works perfectly. Thanks so much for your help.

I have put the new protocol "Akord" into IrpTransmogrifier (IrpProtocols.xml), defined as

Code: Select all

{37.0k,477,msb}<1,-1|1,-2>(18,-8,D:8,S:8,F:8,~F:8,1,-40m,(18,-5,1,-78m)*)[D:0..255,S:0..255,F:0..255]
