Gee Rob you sure are fast!

I was just getting the rounding done, and you already have the upgrade up.

I popped open the upgrade in RM 2.0 Preview 7, and think that there might be something wrong with the RDMU file. The upgrade is opening as a 2byte upgrade with byte1 always 0. I've worked behind you long enough to believe you would never throw extra bytes into an upgrade.

I did get some errors when I opened the file, so maybe the error is on my end, but something isn't looking right.

Edit: I opened the RDMU in notepad and sure enough every function is showing 2 bytes of hex with the first byte of 0. I also see that there are more than 8 bits of variable data in the signal..... So it definately is supposed to be a 2byte upgrade, the 1st byte just seems to have been lost.

Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

Btw, I got tired of all the manual work involved in copy/pasting data from ExportedUEI.txt over to IR.exe so I created a spreadsheet to do the work for you.

Here it is:

Hopefully the comments in the file description, along with the comments in some of the cells make it self-explanatory, but if you have questions, please ask them.

Yes, I do think that's the problem because I also use Excel 2000 at home and I often can't open spreadsheets that I create at work there too.

Here's how you can fix it up, or create a new one.

1) You need three tabs: Input, Work, Output

2) Work tab, cell A1, enter and repeat to cell A67:
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(":",OFFSET(Input!$A$1,((ROW()-1)*2),0))),"",LEFT(OFFSET(Input!$A$1,((ROW()-1)*2),0),FIND(":",OFFSET(Input!$A$1,((ROW()-1)*2),0),1)-1))

3) Work tab, cell B1, enter and repeat to cell B67:
=TRIM(OFFSET(Input!$A$1,((ROW()-1)*2)+1,0))

4) Work tab, cell C1, enter and repeat to cell C67:
=IF(TRIM(B1)="","",DEC2HEX(ROW(),2)&" 20 "&TRIM(MID(B1,7,999))&" ")

5) Work tab, cell D2 (two), enter and repeat to cell D67:
=D1&C2

6) Work tab, cell D1 (one), enter: =C1

7) Work tab, cell E1 (one), enter: =D67

8) Output tab, pre-populate the "A" column with the code data below.

9) Output tab, cell A65 enter and repeat to cell A256:
="F"&DEC2HEX(ROW()-65,2)&"0: "&LEFT(MID(Work!$E$1,((ROW()-65)*48)+1,48)&"FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF",48)

10) Output tab, cell A258, enter: [Notes]

11) Output tab, cell A259 enter and repeat to cell A341:
="$50"&DEC2HEX(ROW()-259,2)&"="&IF(TRIM(Work!A1)="","(no note)",TRIM(Work!A1))

Btw, if I do create an Excel 2000 version of this, please post it so I can use it at home. Otherwise, I will create one myself either this evening or tomorrow and I'll post it.

I'm totally comfortable with RM when I'm creating an upgrade using a standard protocol and there's no chance that I'll want to switch to a combo version or change the selected protocol for any other reason. But if there's even the slightest chance that I'll need to change the selected protocol, I'll use KM because RM will often blank out all of the data in the Functions sheet when you change protocols, whereas KM won't.

But when it comes to manual settings, RM just isn't up to snuff yet, so I always create those in KM and then import them into RM.

The first problem is that I don't know how to *start* a Manual Settings upgrade in RM. Then, to make any changes you have to mess around in the Advanced box, whereas in KM everything is out in the open.

Bottom line, it's just so easy to do a manual upgrade in KM so that's what I use.
