6960B00/9960B01 extender extra - Brightness Control
Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:19 pm
This is just for test right now, but I've built a special protocol that allows you to change the brightness on the 6960B00/9960B01 extender.
It's done as a device/protocol upgrade. Install the following into the remote (I think this will work on the non-extended remote as well but you can control the brightness through setup so this isn't as interesting)
URC-6960B00, Protocol 1FF
URC-9960B00, Protocol 1FF
Device for both, TV/1110
Make sure you check the protocol > FF box
After you install this, you can put a keymove that has a single key (doesn't matter what it is, this protocol ignores the key). When you press this, the screen will change to have only arrows on it and the device keys. up increases the brightness, down decreases, OK will return you to the previous screen and exit the protocol.
This will be built into the next release of the extender, but I figured I'd let people give it a shake-out. The code is pretty simple and uses the ROM to do most of the heavy lifting so it should be reasonably stable.
let me know if you have any issues. I've tested this on both the 6960 and the 9960.
enjoy!
