Unknown protocol of learned keys

Post by JohnM »

Using RCRP05B I learned keys for MiniMX Android box. But I can't use learned keys directly since Both IR and RM are unable to decode the protocol and I'm using RCRP05B extender which removes the support for learned key. I read some of the information here about decoding/building protocol, but most of it is over my head. Is there a tutorial for someone just starting on new protocol stuff?

Learned IR file is https://hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php ... e_id=14022 if anyone is kind enough to help me out.

Also, is there any alternate to protocol builder, one that does not require Excel?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind. I made the same dump mistake I made couple of years ago. These cheap android boxes send the actual code only once as soon as you press the key, and then keep sending ditto. And while learning I pressed key on oem remote first then on jp1. So all jp1 remote got was those dittos and was unable to decode the signal.

Once I learned it again by pressing key on jp1 remote first and then on oem, IR decoded them properly as NEC1.

Millions of thanks to the very helpful community here.

And I've uploaded the working mdu file at https://hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php ... e_id=14023
Hopefully it'd be useful for someone.
