Custom Remote Help

The Boss · Post by **The Boss** » Fri May 27, 2016 2:17 pm

I am creating a new remote for box that is not in the market. i am using slingbox 500 with HDMI connection to the box. I have the customer code 0x9A65 i converted that to 89,166 device and subdevice number. And i have Data Code's 0x15,0x58 where i converted to decimal 21,88 and like wise. Now i created a new remote Slingbox with UEI PL chip with settings as

Setup Code : 2010
Protocol : NEC1
Device : 89
Sub Device : 166

Then i added the decimal values in place of OBC in funtion list exported the binary file and placed in slingbox and its not working. what wrong am i doing.

Thanks

I think we would need to see the complete set of codes that you have for this device in order to guess if you have converted the hex to decimal correctly.

When I try converting the data, I get 89 and 166 for the device codes and 168 and 26 for the OBCs

Try sub device 83

I see what you did, you correctly treated the device code hex as LSB, but then you treated the OBC hex as MSB.

Here is an RM file that you should be able to use to create a Slingbox bin file

I opened that in RM and exported as a bin file and placed in slingbox. no luck doesn't work.

Depending on how they reversed the bits (all 16, each byte piecewise, or if they swapped bytes) the reasonable dev.sub pairs are:

154.101 (as listed)
166.89 (16 bit reversal)
89.166 (reverse each byte)
101.154 (swapped bytes)

When testing pay particular attention to the Home function and the digit 1. These two OBCs have the same form if the bits are reversed.

I see the box is not responding. i have reported to the h/w team. we will be getting new boxes by next two week's. i will update once i have got those. thanks though.

Does the box respond to the regular remote control?

The Boss · Post by **The Boss** » Tue May 31, 2016 3:04 pm

Yes it is responding but the codes i have got are from the updated version instead the remote that came along with the box.

Is it worth $17 to you to help get this programmed? (And you get a cool new remote in the process)

If so, buy one of these ...

It's the Nevo C2 remote, which is JP1 compatible and comes with it's own USB cable that can be used for JP1 purposes.

With this remote you can learn the buttons from the original remote and then post the results for us, and we can use them to make a new bin file.

How does this works with Nova C2??

Post by **The Robman** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 9:52 pm

The Nevo is a learning remote that is JP1 compatible, which means you can use JP1 (specifically, a program called RMIR) to download the remote's memory and edit it and re-load it. So, it's actually a very powerful remote when combined with JP1.

But, all we need it for here is, if you learn the buttons from your current working OEM remote, you can download the memory (which will include the learned signals) using RMIR and then you can save the file. If you then post the file for us to look at, we can create a Slingbox file for you. At that point, you could put the Nevo in a drawer never to be seen again, if you like, as it would have served its purpose, or you could start to discover JP1 and program it to work your stuff. In which case, maybe we'll see you in some of the other forums here as you seek help with it.
