Using a Harmony One to create a BIN file?

Hi All.
Newbie question here.

I tried the search feature, however I couldn't find the results I was looking for.
Ok.. I have a Harmony One remote with a USB port. I have programmed the Harmony One remote with my original remote codes.
How do I extract the codes from my remote in any way shape or form, so that way I can create a bin file for a slingbox?
I'm gonna need a step by step here because this is all new to me, so please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance,
Jet!

There isn't a way to extract info from the Harmony.
What devices do you need to create BIN files for? Have you checked our file section to see if we already have upgrade files for any of them? If we do, check out the sticky thread in this forum for a guide to how to create BIN files using the JP1 tools.

Thanks for the quick Reply!
The existing Slingbox file for nFusion is not complete, and does not contain the necessary 4 key colors that I need for needed functionality.

When you say "existing" are you referring to a bin file that came pre-installed with the Slingplayer software, or are you referring to something that you downloaded from here? And if it's the latter, please provide a link to the file in question.
I just did a search in our file section for "nFusion" and found the following upgrade file (which includes the 4 colored buttons):

and the following Slingbox (PL) file:

Rob;
The first link you posted is a .txt file when I download it. How do I incorporate this into IR Remote? It is also for a HD unit.. I'm working on a SD unit.
The second link, is an actual bin file from 2007.. If does not have any colored buttons in this file. Infact, this file is actually an old Viewsat file. Just the number pad and a few other buttons work. This is the file I would like to modify, to correctly control the nFusion remote. So I guess my question is, how do I get the colored button codes into this bin file? I have a Harmony One Remote.
Thanks.

I can only base my answers on the info you post and all you said was nFusion, you didn't say what kind of device you have or the model number.
The first file is a KM file. You'll need to read up on JP1 to know what to do with it, I suggest starting with the sticky thread at the top of this forum that explains everything.
I just took a closer look at the bin file, it appears to most closely match the nFusion Nova PVR (like the following upgrade file):

I just created a bin file based on the file I linked to earlier, which was for an Nfusion HD (Nuvenio). The colored buttons and any other buttons without correctly named buttons on the Sling remote, are on the "custom" buttons.

If that one doesn't work I might be able to help. I used my Harmony to build a Test remote for an nFusion a few weeks ago, but the person who asked for it did not get back to me to tell me if it worked.
What I need to know is the EXACT details you used to load it onto the Harmony One.

Ok.. Thanks to Robman (THE man), and Alan Richey, and to all the peeps that posted bits and pieces for the nFusion remote codes, I'm proud to announce that I have complied a complete, and very usable bin file for nFusion STB's, and a Slingbox.
This file supports the Nova, Solaris, Pheonix, and HD (or Nuvenio)
I've been busting Alan's butt for a while, and finally it's all come good. Thanks again to Robman for the final piece to the puzzle.
Considering that the nFusion remote has 51 buttons, and 4 device buttons, and the generic slingbox remote has 38 buttons, I had to sacrifice the least used buttons on the remote.
BUT atleast now, you have access to the colored buttons, and you can now access the wish function, update and add satellites, add channels etc..etc. Music was sacrificed... If you want music, try Pandora! lol!
Full instructions are included in the rar / zipped file.
But I can't find the upload button!

Did you find the file section? (the link is at the top of this page). If so, navigate to the
folder where you want to load the file and the Upload button will be at the top of the page.
It looks like this...
Btw, we don't allow RAR files, so please save it as a ZIP file instead.
