Sony7 Protocol Identified in IR not available in KM

If you have learned signals that don't get decoded when you look at them in IR.exe, post your file to the Diagnosis Area then post your question here (including a link to the file).

I read this post some time ago but it only just rang a bell. One of the kids' toys - a Bob The Builder Scoop (the yellow excavator one) - has a small IR remote with only four buttons. The kids claim it doesn't always work correctly and I can't now find the toy to verify this but, anyway, I found the remote this evening, put new batteries in it and learned the buttons. IR reports Sony7 and the values seem different (by 1 OBC) from one button press to the next.

The buttons are arranged in a diamond pattern with a round button at top (presume Go), square bottom (Stop), left arrow on left and right on right:

Code: Select all

Mapped in the IR file as follows (learned each three times):

Code: Select all

Up    - top (round)
Down  - bottom (square)
Right - left
Left  - left

2     - top
8     - bottom
6     - right
4     - left

stop  - bottom
ffwd  - right
rew   - left
rec   - top
Not looking for any solutions (can't find the toy, might be long gone) but just wondered if it sheds any light on this protocol.
