|
|
Can you help identify the correct protocol for this remote?
Tried the identified protocol (Emerson 10) without success, looks like default protocol not the correct one.
IR learned signals at:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=6321
1. Device: Viewsonic N4050W
2. Type of device: TV
3. Year: ? 2004 ?
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: OFA9910
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Yes
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? Learned IR file above |

ylaviolette, Some Viewsonic TV's do use the Emerson Combo Protocol, so this is probably a correct decode.
I don't see upgrades in your IR file that use the 00 65 Emerson Protocol.
I think we need to see that to figure out why your upgrade isn't working. |

The only difference that I see between those learns and the Emerson protocol is the frequency (Emerson is 36.7 and these are 37.7). Normally a difference that small shouldn't be a problem, but just in case that is the cause, here's a protocol upgrade that runs at 37.7
Upgrade protocol 0 = 00 65 (S3C8+) PB v4.01
43 8D 31 8B 12 D5 45 06 06 01 B3 01 9F 01 B3 05
05 CC 6A 06 CC 06 B8 E4 06 01 56 01 03 8D 01 46
End
So, create your upgrade in the normal way (using RM or KM) and copy it to IR.exe, then copy the protocol above over to IR also. _________________ Rob

Thanks to you both; It finally worked using the "Emerson Combo (4 devices)" the two other Emerson protocols (3 devices and single device) didn't work; I didn't have to use the protocol upgrade you provided Robman, however I noticed that the "Emerson Combo (4 devices)" already has a protocol upgrade of it's own which the 3 devices and single device doesn't have; for my knowledge, what is the technical difference between these 3 protocols and could I have figured out myself which one is the correct one except by trial and error? Was there something in my learned codes that was pointing towards the 4-devices combo?
Thx again, will post my new upgrades once I'm finished with my 15 devices... almost done. |

As Rob mentioned, devices are not usually critical about the carrier frequency, but perhaps yours is. The combo executor can transmit at either 36.7 kHz or 38.1 kHz, depending on bit 1 of the first fixed byte. _________________ Mike England |

What device code did you enter and did you use RM or KM?
I've just done a disassembly of the new Emerson executor here:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=6323
It appears to take the 2 right bits from each variable byte to decide which fixed byte to use as the device code.
It also appears to take the 2 right bits from the selected fixed byte to decide which changes to make, as follows:
00 = leave it "as is" (ie, freq = 36.7 and the format is dev, cmd, dev-comp, cmd-comp)
1x = change freq to 38.1 and leadout time to 100460 uS
x1 = 3rd byte is an XOR with $E4 instead of being a complement
As far as I can tell, both KM and RM prevent you from entering device codes greater than 63, so I don't see how you could have made those 2 bits anything other than 00. _________________ Rob

I forgot to subscribe on this one, so here's a late post:
I used RM and device code 10.
Let me know if you want me to run further tests but on my end everything is fine for this one. |
