Hi All,

I need help to create Vastar F3II(DK8080) remote code.
SAT box picture:

The remote look like this:

I use the DIY IR module VIA TTL connect to PC, and it decode the remote code only 3 byte for each button :
11 ee 4C power
11 ee 07 Vol +
11 ee 1e VOL-
11 ee 16 CH+
11 ee 0F CH -
...

how to use the RemoteMaster to create the remote with them ?

Those photo links don't work, that forum probably doesn't allow attachments to work outside of the forum. My advice would be to load the pics to Imgur and post those links.

As for your remote codes, I'm just guessing here, but I think if you convert those hex codes to decimal you would have the device code, sub-device code and OBC code for each button, and again just guessing, but I would try NEC1 as the protocol. So, NEC1 17.238 with the following OBCs:

76 power
07 Vol +
30 VOL-
22 CH+
15 CH -

I'm try to build other IRScope IR module with PIC chipset. but current information I don't know how to convert them.

I guess it will be the NEC protocol.

0x 11 ee 4c
0d 0017 0238 0076 ?

So in the RemoteMaster
what mean for the setup code ? So I put some number in it?

Did you not read the article I linked to ? It's covered in there.

Sorry I don't have the IR capture log ,so many information I couldn't provide like the document ask , but I do know the setup code mean, Thanks.

Setup Code: This is where you put the 4-digit code. In theory it can be any number between 0000 and 2047, but as explained in Section 1 Paragraph 3, numbers below 2000 may actually be already allocated to specific devices, so to be safe I personally use 2010. Fell free to use your own value.
Protocol: From the dropdown list select the Protocol you discovered when you used IR.EXE/IRSCOPE.EXE.
Device: Type in the Device code you recorded from IR.EXE/IRSCOPE.EXE.
Sub-Device: If applicable type in the Sub-Device code you recorded from IR.EXE/ IRSCOPE.EXE.

Look like I will need wait the pruchase chipset arrived and make the IR scope receiver module.

I try it again, most button doesn't work , the channel down working , but the channel up doesn't work .

Mute button ( 11 ee 40) work as pause button
Channel down (11 ee 0F) work


How that happen ?

The setup code number is meaningless, it's just a way to give the upgrade a name so you have the ability to select it.

Anyway, if you have created a Slingbox bin file that works for some of the functions, that is good progress because it means we have correctly identified the protocol and device codes, now we just need to sort out the button codes (OBCs).

Could you post the complete list of hex codes that you got from your DIY module, in other words, complete this list:
11 ee 4C power
11 ee 07 Vol +
11 ee 1e VOL-
11 ee 16 CH+
11 ee 0F CH -

Next, I would need to see the RMDU file that you used to create your Slingbox bin file. Please post a copy of it in the Diagnosis Area then post a link to it here.

Finally, list which buttons do something, and list what they do. In other words, complete this list:
Mute button ( 11 ee 40) work as pause button
Channel down (11 ee 0F) works

I upload the RM file and bin to :
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=25062

the IR capture and decode module I use as picture, it say could decode any NEC protocol.
Image
and I use the DIY IR receiver module to capture the slingbox M1 IR when command send , I get different code for most button.

If you notice, when I decoded your hex code, I converted the hex to decimal in order to enter it into RM, however it looks like you entered the hex code directly without converting, which is not the correct process, and your results support that (as the hex code that you received matches what I would expect if you enter the hex code in RM).

So, I replaced your hex codes with the decimal codes and fixed your RM file:

Thanks for the file, most button are working now .

Only I find CH + doesn't work.
also I don't understand how you do the converting from my hex code to the RM HEX input?
Image
I see the RM software ask for input HEX , so I put the hex code I get from the module log.

Like this CH+(up arrow) button
16 (org remote I capture), (16)16 = (22)10
BB (Your code)

How the BB come from?

I get it .

I should put the Dex value in OBC list , not directly use Hex to Hex list.

Image

And I fix the CH+ value problem with new file.
