JP1 Remotes

[vickyg2003]

1. Device: Samsung Synch Master 170
2. Type of device: TV-PC monitor
3. Year: ~2001
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: 6011
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? y
6. Still have original remote? n (wll its somewhere in MI and I'm in IL)
7. Checked the file section? y (Yes there is an upgrade that uses the Sampsong20 Protoco)l
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)?
9. Partially working setup code? Y from file section.
10. Learning remote question? n/a

I'm looking for the SOURCE button, so that I can change this from PC to TV.

It appears that the PB sheet that this uses 8 bit commands so I assume that if I work my way through the 255 codes I should be able to find this. I opened all the other files that have the KM TXT extension, looking for a code, but they all use some version of the NEC protocol.

The OBC's were pretty much sequential, so to do this the smart way,
Do I start with skipped OBCs' in the sequence
Then go to the lower OBC's from 0 to 30
Then start with the the top of the seqence 62+ and go upwards?

Or does the Samsung20 have some quirks that I should be aware of, like the limitation of range?

If it were me, I'd try the following OBCs first:
49,50,51,62,63,64

Then I'd try 0-32, then 65+

I couldn't find my code that way, but I did find a Samsung remote and was able to learn all the codes.

It seems that the remote Source button doesn't work like the Source button on the monitor. It gets hung up from the original remote and that is why I couldn't see it work. The source button is the TV/VCR function.

I plugged the protocol from the upgrade into the protocol builder and saw that it had 2 6bit devices, and 1 8bit command.

I took these
learned codes and broke them down into dev1(6bit), dev2(6bit), command(8bit).

These functions were not in the original upgrade.

I figured out the OBC's from the 8 bit commands above, so now I've got the functions I need on my JP1 remotes, but I want to get this ready for my JP1.2 remotes.



It appears that the protocol doesn't have any code, it just sets a bunch of variables and jumps to the IR engine. So this should be pretty easy. Just changing the processor should get me the upgrade I need, since it doesn't require code.


But where do I go from there? How do I get this
into KM and/or RM??

BTW I really appreciate the time you've taken to teach me to help myself. I really am starting to understand this. I'm sorry its taking me so long!!!

What you would need to do is load the PB file into PB and then change the processor there. This will generate the correct executor code.

I have just done this for you and have replaced the original KM file with one that includes the correct executor code for all types of JP1 remote. So, if you re-download the original KM file and change the remote to whichever remote you are using, KM will present you with the correct protocol code.

If you already have your current KM file all customized, etc all you need to do is copy the "Notes" section from the current KM file.

Doh!! So simple, and yet I've been struggling with that for so long!

I think you've taught me to fish!

Thanks!
