Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2003 11:37 am Post subject: Increase Key Duration on URC-8090 "Producer 8" |
|
|
I'm having trouble getting the URC-8090 to work properly with my Dish Network receiver, I have to hold down the keys for an extened period to get the receiver to recognize the key press. It appears that a combiner would be the answer to my problem, but since the 8090 uses the 740 processor I may be out of luck. Is there any way to increase the duration on a 8090?
Thanks, |

There are a number of dish network upgrades in the jp1 device codes area ==>> Device upgrades that may help you. See if you have any luck with them and if not provide a little more information such as the model of the receiver and maybe some learned codes from the original remote. _________________ Nils

Thanks.
It's a Dish Network 500 receiver. And I am using the device files for the 775. The functions work fine, I just have to hold down the key a little longer than I would like. From reading other post, it appeart that I need to increase the duration, but I'm not sure if this can be done with the 8090. |

Hopefully Jason or MikeE will take a look at this, because it shouldn't be too hard to create a version of the Displayer Old protocol that has a higher number of minimum repeats. _________________ Rob

I'm assuming Rob meant "Jason or MikeE" as I'm from Maryland Anyway, give this a shot:
06 0D 11 80 0E B0 72 17 08 07 03 19 04 9A 02 46
17 08 EC 44 5D 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22
00 22 00 4C 00 FF
Fill in 0002 in the protocol box. This sends the signal eight times every time you press the button. |

Thanks, that seems to do the trick. Is there a way to tweek the number of repeats, if I start having problems.
While I have you attention. I've run into another problem, I that I thought I could solve with pauses between my commands. I'm using a Mitsubushi TV 0150. It works fine when I tune channels manually. But I've entered some commands into macros and am getting strange things. With "TV;0;1;9;Enter", the TV only receives the "1" and "9", with the Macro for "TV;0;5;4;Enter", the TV receives the "5". Could this be a duration problem as well?
Thanks again. |

Take a look at the protocol code. Do you see all of the 22 00's:
06 0D 11 80 0E B0 72 17 08 07 03 19 04 9A 02 46
17 08 EC 44 5D 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22
00 22 00 4C 00 FF
There are seven of them. This sends the signal seven times. The code at the end (4C 00 FF). Sends the signal and exits. If you want to add more repeats, add 22 00's before the 4C 00 FF. If you want fewer repeats, remove 22 00's.

All the OFA remotes I've seen add one second (approx). between signals in a Macro. It's weird that your 8090 a) doesn't do that or b) that isn't enough. But if this truly is the case, you can try the pause protocol in the yahoo groups file section (under special protocols). It allows you to create a keymove that adds a delay (the EFC of the keymove specifies the length of the delay so you can tweak it).
If delay isn't the problem, then it must have something to do with the protocol. I know next to nothing about the Mitsubishi protocol, but I'm sure if it's an issue a protocol expert could chime in. |

Thanks again for your help.
I have tried adding delay, using the methods posted in the Yahoo groups. Assuming that I did this correctly, it did not have any affect. I believe that I need to increase the duration/repeat rate for these keys. |

albtross,
Give this a try. It works the same as the dish protocol
Upgrade Protocol 0 = 00 14 (P8/740)
10 1D 11 80 0C E0 A2 01 0A 08 08 02 1F 03 B7 34
7B 3C 02 83 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 22 00
22 00 22 00 4C 00 FF
End
You probably don't want to hear this, but there's probably a part going bad in your remote. I'm guessing that the signals are coming out too weak or noise is getting in and that's why you need them to be sent multiple times. Probably nothing you could do anything about short of taking the remote apart and replacing components -- just keep in mind that you might have to replace it soon. |
