RS 15-2116 Macro on device and Nesting Macros

Post by jptheripper »

Aight, thanx to the wonderful documentation and responses of fine experts on this board (namely johnsfine and Robman) I am well on my way.

2 quick questions I hope.

1. Im using the RS 15-2116, and have seen it mentioned that you can do macros on device buttons without an extender. Cant seem to find any documentation on this, can I just do it through IR?

2. Nesting, however, I believe to be a extender-necessary Item. I thoroughly read the extender v2 documentation for the 2116 (very well written btw) and think it should be fun to program like this (i have decent programming experience). Should I go straight to extender v2? or should I use v1 unless there are features in v2 i need?

The features I invision in my head so far are

Macros on device keys
Nested macros within the device key macros
Standard device key definitions on shift-device key

thats about it really.

Thanx again

update: I am fortunate to have discrete power codes for all my devices except for the cable box, thanx to this forum, guess thats gonna be on 24/7 now. :)

Right.

I hope the documentation tells you enough to understand the difference between them. The price is the same :) so pick the one you think you'll prefer using.
