Hi,

I'm using the URC-8820 with the latest extender, and I'm trying to find a way to hold a button for 7 seconds and then enter some digit.

Do I have to put the button several time in the macro or there is a better way?

LKP does not seem to be what I need either.

I want to press the cc button once on my remote and the following to happen:

Menu button pressed for 7 seconds
button 1
button 1
button 0
button 5
button OK

It's actually the public display mode access for LG tvs.

Hum... I have just realized that I have asked for pretty much the same thing a while ago:

How complicated would it be to modify a protocol to make it work?

It depends on the protocol. Some are rather straight forward, others are extremely complex.

In a case like this you'd only probably want one key to do this long hold, so you would use it as a helper upgrade, where you'd just use the device that uses this protocol to be a keymove, and then use the regular version for normal use.

What protocol are you talking about?

It's NEC1 protocol ID 00 5A.

The PID 005A is an extremely complicated protocol because it handles a bunch of similar signals, however the signal is very simple and can be created from scratch just by filling in a few settings.

Do you want to fish or be fed?

Well I guess a bit of both, I never had to modify a protocol before, and all I need is that menu button. I will do whatever necessary to make it work if you help me out and I'm pretty sure a lot of people would LOVE to have access to the Public Display Menu of LG tvs just by pushing one button.


It is a bit hard to get the PDM on Newer WEBOS LG TV.

I have IRscope with and IRwidget, so I can verify the signal and the Macros.

What should I use to modify this protocol, Spreadsheet Remote Master?
I'm not sure where to modify it so that pushing one key will keep sending the same signal for 7 or 8 seconds....

Carl,
Rob's example shows you a technique of skipping the first byte in the send buffer, and clearing out data bits. That is a cool technique. Something you need to know how to do to do a complicated executor.

Rob's example is for a Samsung chip, and I think you want the Freescale chip HCSO8 which uses a different syntax.

I've started writing up some documentation, but I found it is actually harder to describe, than it is to actually do.

For a NEC1 signal, with either PB or Remotemaster, will generate something much simpler out of the box.

You need to fill in the timing data, in either protocolbuilder or RM. I thought we were starting with 57 repeats, so fill in the repeats.

Fill in a Pid, typically we a custom protocol 01FF, because for the most part was unused by UEI


Code:

   REMOTE    HCS08   
   BRA   L0118   
   DB   $23,$47   ;37.735 kHz 33.018%
   DB   $22   ;2 dev, 2 cmd
   DB   $EE   ;pf0: 11101110=2-dev,cmds,dev-!dev-cmd-!cmd,OffAsTotal
   DB   $4D   ;pf1: 01001101=RptHeld,LI-half,1on-LO
   DB   $08   ;pd00: DevBits1=8
   DB   $08   ;pd01: CmdBits1=8
   DW   $0121   ;pd02/03: 1-burst on=578 uS
   DW   $011A   ;pd04/05: 1-burst off=564 uS
   DW   $0121   ;pd06/07: 0-burst on=578 uS
   DW   $0345   ;pd08/09: 0-burst off=1674 uS
   DW   $D4FD   ;pd0A/0B: Leadout off=109050 uS
   DW   $11A7   ;pd0C/0D: Leadin on=9038 uS
   DW   $08CB   ;pd0E/0F: Leadin off=4502 uS
   DB   $00   ;pd10: DevBits2=0
L0118:   MOV   #$34,$B2   ;set number of repeats to 57
         
   JMP   XMITIR   


Now typically AFTER we have disassembled this, we would change the number of commands bytes to 1 and then do the load the accumulator with DCBuf + 2, complement it, and store that new value in DCBuf+3.

But since we only have 1 command, this would eat up a few more bytes of the E2 area. But on a larger upgrade we would definitely do this, because it would be much smaller over all.


Are you using KM or RM?

I'm usually using remote master now.

Okay,

Remotemaster it is. (Actually kind of good, because the only computer that has Excel is my husbands)

Open two separate sessions of Remote master.

In one open an upgrade that uses Nec1 and from the advanced menu Edit the protocol.

In the other window from the advanced menu NEW MANUAL PROTOCOL.

fill in the NEW protocol with a PID number, and a descriptive name.

Copy all the settings from the ProtocolData settings from the NEC1 protocol to the NEW protocol EXCEPT

make it 2 devices Bytes
and 2 Command Bytes
Repeat Count of 57 or whatever value you calculate...

Hit BUILD

Then Hit Assemble

Then it your NEW window
Go to the Device DATA tab
Click LSB for each device byye and each comand byte.

I'm not sure on this next part it might be the first bytes instead of the seconds.
The turn on COMP for the second device byte and the second command byte.
The Second byte should be Comp

you should be ready to rock and roll.

Unless I got my comps backwards......

Should the repeat type be forced or minimum?
I have built and assigned the menu button for my new device with the new protocol but the remote LED only blinks once if I hit the menu button.

I did try the comp settings on device 1 or 2 but it did not change anything.
It could be something I missed

What is the device number and function number of the signal?

I've now been able to test my thing with the flags, and found that there was one more flag, to get this to work, BUT it was only sending out NEC2 signals, not the NEC1 signals

So as usual Rob was right, I was wrong.


Unfortunately our tools don't create the correct flags to have an HSC08 remote fill the buffer with dev~dev,cmd~cmd and send with a ditto, so
I've got to learn how to send a ditto on the HSC08.

When I translated Robs upgrade, and saw that he allocates a the high bit of the cmd to test to see if the repeat is required, based on the nec signals never having a cmd (OBC) value over 127. Without seeing the upgrade, I don't know if that would work to combine everything in one upgrade or not.

If that's the way you want to go, I'd need to see your upgrade to see if it is going to make sure the values all are less than 127.

In the meantime you gave me an EFC instead of an OBC. EFC's are dependant on the executor being used.....

I would at least like the OBC of the function I'm trying to replicate.
