Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:12 pm Post subject: Toggle Power for Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080 |
|
|
I need the power toggle code for my Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080. I captured all the remote keys including the discrete codes and posted a file here http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=6583
Any educated guesses what the power toggle code would be?
Thanks |

For what its worth, all the official Nec 131, 85 combinations for the Epson use 144 (Your Power On) for the power button. Perhaps there is no power toggle. |

If there is no toggle button, you could use ToadTog to create one. _________________ Rob

I tried OBC 146 and it didn't work. I guess I'll have to start reading about extenders. I haven't tried one yet.
Thanks for the help. |

I've read the Toadtog readme and now know Toadtog doesn't only apply to extenders. However, I feel a little confused and intimidated by the toadtag readme. Maybe this is a little much for a newbie. |

Of course this can get a little dangerous if you get yourself into a service menu, so you've got to use care. Now if you had 2 byte commands, then this method would be intimidating because there are thousands of commands.

It may be a little much for a newbie. It really is a simple if then else statement. They also aren't practical if you are using multiple remotes for a system, like I do.
Maybe a little easier solution would be to put the On value on Power, and use SHIFT-Power to turn things off. |

I assigned the discrete ON to Phantom1 and OFF to phantom2 in your file, loaded the empty extender file, added your device (with my addition) and then created the power toggle. All you need to do is click on the Special Protocols tab and the create it like this:
I used toggle bit 1. You can pick any unused bit, of course. |

pH7_jp1,
Thanks so much for all the details and picture. However, I'm still having trouble. I've done a lot of reading and still haven't figured it out. Here are my questions:
Quote: | I assigned the discrete ON to Phantom1 and OFF to phantom2 in your file | I added Phantom1 and Phantom2 to the Functions tab in RM, is this correct? Quote: | , loaded the empty extender file | Please explain empty extender file Quote: | , added your device (with my addition) and then created the power toggle. All you need to do is click on the Special Protocols tab and the create it like this:

Do I need to install a extender first? What about the Toadtag files I downloaded?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks for all the great help. |

Quote: | No, you already had the Power ON and Power OFF defined on your function page. I went to the Buttons tab and assigned them to the Phantom1 and Phantom2 buttons.
Quote: | Do I need to install a extender first? What about the Toadtag files I downloaded? | Sorry, we are approaching this differently and I don't know what files you downloaded. What I did is:
downloaded the extender here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=1455 In that directory is an IR file named 8910_ex1.txt. This file is and empty file with the extender already installed and the appropriate macros that will cause the extended remote act just like an unextended remote. This is a good starting point to add your own customizations. After opening this file, the only thing I did was install your update created by RM and then did what I showed in the other post.
This isn't the only way to do it and if you give me a pointer to the files you downloaded, I could probably give you better information. |

pH7_jp1,
I'm still having trouble. I believe I did everything the way you said. Loaded it and activated it.
After activating it. Every time I press the power button on TV mode, the LCD shows 0000 and the transmit LED doesn't come on. |

Below is link to a zip file that contains the RM file (yours modified) and an IR file. I have loaded this file on my HTPro an tested it. The TV Power button will alternate between ON and OFF each press. For some reason, the Phantom1 and 2 buttons didn't work for me, so instead I used M1-shift and M2-shift. It really doesn't matter what buttons you use, just assign in RM and use the same ones in the special protocol.
BTW, it sounds like you may just have forgotten to assign the device button code on the General tab when you tried it. But, the Phantom problem I had might have bit you also.

SUCCESS!!!
I went ahead and rebuilt it myself using M1-Shift and M2-Shift and it worked great. I don't know why the Phantom wasn't working, but that was the problem.
pH7_jp1,
Thank you so much for all the help. |

If using a regular button works (even if it's shifted) where using a phantom doesn't, that tends to imply that the phantom is using a keycode that has a special meaning to the remote's firmware and therefore shouldn't be used as a keycode.
Somebody should review the RDF and maybe use a different keycode for the phantom. _________________ Rob
