decoding the original remote control data

This is the JP1 beginners forum. There's no such thing as a stupid question in here, so post away, but this forum is just for JP1 users and people considering JP1, non-JP1 users please use the appropriate forum above!

Anytime you need the frequency of a protocol, I'm sure you'll also need the structure of the protocol. Almost any place you could find the structure of a protocol you will find the frequency as well.

The structure AND frequency of many different protocols are list in the "IRP notation" line of each protocol's entry in the DecodeIr documentation at
http://john.fine.home.comcast.net/ir/DecodeIr.html

DecodeIr doesn't understand 100% of protocols and that documentation doesn't give IRP notation for 100% of the protocols that it does cover. But it's the most complete list I know of.

Given a code set, look up the protocol, device number(s), subdevice number(s) and command numbers.
I need to look this device number, subdevice number and command number information up.If I get stuck, I hope I can come back for a clearer indication of what they are :oops: .

The irda chips come in basically 2 versions: SIR and FIR. The FIR ones are easier to use for remote control applications. Just that all the IR programs I have seen are running on Linux.

The Clipsal unit comes with a library of 200 codes. I am playing about with their library at the moment in order to get the hang of things. Surprisingly, there appears to be no user groups for this Clipsal range ( C-BUS2).

The CCF,EFC, HEX etc file formats are confusing to me :roll: . I wonder if there is a simple converter out there that can convert from anyone format into another one. Life would then be so much easier for me.

I have writen a number of operating systems for budget handsets(for which I got paid) ( and OFA has soon afterwards added similar functions to their handsets, so they must have infringed my intellectual copyrights..)), but left the codes etc to others. Now I want to get into coding as well.

ADDENDUM: I have a huge list of codes for various handsets. The TV codes don't have the UK TEXT functions, but not everyone would be interested in that. If there is interest in my code database, I shall try to put it together in a form that I can upload. (And yes, I am a URC engineer, but not a very good one :oops: )

I have spent some time between the yahoo JP1 section and here just trying to find the RDF for a URC-7562/B01 but no luck so far :cry: . Am I unlucky that one isn't available for download, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Does the EBV0EBV1 (URC-7550_7552_7560_7562 One for All).rdf file in the current RDF set work?

Thanks for the tip Mark. I am just not with it right now I think :oops: . The young mistress will have to go. JP1 is the new toy that needs my attention...
