8811 extender 3
I started fooling around with extenders and I think I am making some progress (Thanks usblipitor). I ran into a strange problem. I load the Extender, hit power to start, press the HT button. Things don't seem to work as planned... problem.... After 1 key press of HT, the remote goes totally dead. I need to take out batteries and then do a 981 to reset b4 I could do anything else. Can someone take a look at my file that I posted. (HkyFrk1_07)
Thanks

Hi! I found it:
macro#5
xs-TV: xs-TV;Phantom2;SAT
This macro calls itself. This goes into an infinite loop. This is generally a bad thing. 
Good Luck!

Thanks USB. Is there any way that you could explain to me what each macro command is and what is does. I am having a tough time getting a grasp of all this.
Thanks

Hillel,
Sure, I would be glad to help. Sorry I was not around earlier to respond to your post, I am working on updating a guide and forgot to check in to this forum. Post your macros that you have questions on, I will try to respond in a more timely fashion. Don't be shy, extender's are cool but they do provide you with far more than enough rope to hang yourself, and they even provide you with the tree, the limb, and the horse.

From memory, these are the arguments of a ldkp:
$61: 6 is a time unit. If you hold the key down for less than 6 units of time, the remote will perform the short-key-press function. If you hold the key down for more than 6 units of time, the remote will perform the long-key-press function. The unit of time is something like 0.13 seconds, so 6 units of time is about 0.8 seconds I think. 1 is how many hex codes (on the same line after the $61) belong to the short-key-press function. So 1 means that the $c1 is the entire short-key-function, leaving the $40 to be the long-key-function.
$c1 and $40 are button codes from the KeyCodes.htm that comes with your extender in the zip file. If you look on this list, I believe that $c1 is the xs-TV button, and $40 is the phantom4 button, but I could be wrong. I'll go look it up now. Moment. Yep, that's what they are.
So if you put it all together, this keymove says:
Press the xs-TV button if the button is tapped and released quickly,
Press the Phantom4 button if the button is held (more than 0.8 seconds)

| Ok... so now this keypress thing is set to Shift-tv which is the last command in the HT macro. So now how does this macro work in conjunction with the other 2 macros? (since it's the last command in the macro) |

I lost the file  . But no worries mate, list the macros here and I will happily explain what they do!
I cannot take credit for the disign though; it is based on Greg's design which is described HERE. |
