JP1 Remotes

[Quozon]

Hello everyone,

I was able to obtained the Winlirc code for my Skykit SK11 Satellite tuner remote from an IR receiver through MIC input AudioCapture.dll plugin, but was wondering if it can convert to Slingbox custom bin file for my Slingbox 350? If anyone know how to do the conversion, please teach me. Below I attached the Winlirc cfg and raw codes. Hopefully I have captured the codes correctly able to do analysis.

Thanks.

Hm, it does say RC5
but then it says 13bits.

Correction -
I was confused between RC-5 and RC5


RC- 5 is defined as
IRP notation: {36k,msb,889}<1,-1|-1,1>(1:1,~F:1:6,T:1,D:5,F:6,^114m)+

The RC5 code is a 14-bit word bi-phase coded signal (See Figure 2). The two first bits are start bits, always having the value one. The next bit is a control bit or toggle bit, which is inverted every time a button is pressed on the remote control transmitter.
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is an RC5 code

Here is an RDMU file that might work. Give this a try.

Hello Vickyg2003,

Thanks for your great help.
I have tried the RDMU file that you provided, loaded in remotemaster, selected Remote: Slingbox with UEI PL Chip, export binary upgrade, and load into slingbox 350, but didn't work. I wonder whether I have captured the lirc codes correctly.

Below are my plugin setup for the audiocapture.dll in winlirc.

Input: External Microphone (Conexant 2
Format: 44.1KHz, Mono, 8-bit
Channel: Left Channel
Noise offset: 10
Invert Audio Signal: Tick

I appreciate you can help to check where I did wrong and if you need further info to analysis, please let me know.

Thanks.

[Quozon]

Further test here.

I have untick the "Invert Audio Signal" and retry the irrecord.exe. It shows below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found const length: 113876
Please keep on pressing buttons like described above.
................................................................................

RC-6 remote control found.
No header found.
No repeat code found.
Signals are biphase encoded.
Signal length is 122
Checking for toggle bit mask.
Please press an arbitrary button repeatedly as fast as possible.
Make sure you keep pressing the SAME button and that you DON'T HOLD
the button down!.
If you can't see any dots appear, then wait a bit between button presses.

Press RETURN to continue.

No toggle bit mask found.
But I know for sure that RC6 has a toggle bit!
D:\Winlirc>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Above I tried many times, but I never able get to the stage that allow me to record the IR signal for each remote control buttons.

[quote="Quozon" I wonder whether I have captured the lirc codes correctly.
[/quote]
Did the captures work the box?


I really don't know anything about lirc. I did read the description of RC5 at
http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc1473.pdf which seemed to match the signal information that you had posted.


I may have misinterpreted what is menat by the Lirc, but if the lirc itself isn't working then I don't know how to proceed.

Hello Vickyg2003,

Thanks for your great help in working out the codes. I found out there was something wrong for above lirc codes that I captured previously. I tried it in my winlirc to control PC media player classic, but found out it didn't work. So I tried my IR receiver on another PC and the captured lirc codes was different than before. Maybe my first PC's mic input wasn't working properly. This time the new lirc codes works for me to control PC's media player classic. I hope you can look at the new lirc codes that I captured and convert to rmdf once more for me to try. Please see below for the new captured lirc codes.

Well, there is lirc2xml, which will transform the lirc file to "white man's language". Here is the last lirc file, run through lirc2xml. "xml" should not be consider as yet another program format, but a format that can be read and understood both by machines and humans. As can be read from that files, the captured signals are all RC5 signals with device = 29 and different obc's. Here is the complete list (just by editing the xml file):

power 1
1 32
2 16
3 48
4 8
5 40
6 24
7 56
8 4
9 36
0 0
sound 53
cancel 5
up 33
down 41
left 17
right 9
enter 51
channellist 57
info 42
red 22
green 54
yellow 14
blue 46
ch+ 33
ch- 41
record 34
play 18
stop 58
ff 10
rw 50
slowplay 2
pause 6
screenpause 3
replay 38
fav 13
zoomin 29
history 37
menu 25

Interestingly enough, not really RC5, since the toggle T is always 0.
For the background, see the thread quoted above. Let me just recapture that the LIRC format is basically undocumented (yes, I know the winlirc documentation, it is just that I do not trust it), and only LIRC knows how to interpret it -- so the idea behind Lirc2xml is to let LIRC do the job! (Vicky, does it sound familiar? )

Hey Barf, thanks for jumping in with the LIRC help, but after looking at the first LIRC and then the RAW LIRC, I see that the HEX needs to be Complemented to be used.

So I think I solved the problem by changing from LSB to LSB-Comp.

These make a little more sense. We are still guessing at the frequency, and the timings might need to be tweaked, but this is looking better.

I've updated the RDMU file with the LSB Comp settings.

Hello Vickyg2003 and Barf,

Thanks again for your great help.

There's a good progress on the updated rdmu file that you provided.

All the buttons that I tried from the slingbox 350 remote (all the keys i recorded wasn't shown visible on the slingbox remote, but partial). Most the buttons doesn't work, except the "play" button. When I pressed the "play" button, it work as an "enter" from the actual remote.

I hope this feedback could help you to figure the rest out.

Thanks.

Hello Vickyg2003,

Thanks again for your great help.

This time I tried your update file and it works great!!!! Thank you millions

About all the buttons are working correctly, just that couple button didn't work as it suppose to be and appreciate you can make some adjustment.

When press the record button, it worked as play.
When press the the Play button, it worked as rewind.

Also when I disconnect and then re-connect into my slingbox, the remote won't work anymore. I have to reupload the bin file into the slingbox in order to get it work. Is this normal or did I uploaded the file incorrectly?

What I did was in remote master, I selected slingbox PL version for my slingbox350, device as satellite and then export to a file name S0000_PL.BIN. In slingbox setup, I choice device type as satellite and then selected custom to upload the S0000_PL.BIN file from my local drive.

Thanks.

Thanks Alan,
I didn't know that 0000 was not a valid setup number. I updated the number on this so that when the bin is built it will be S2003.
