can anyone help please?

[johnsfine]

Sorry, I was too busy to even look when you first posted, then I forgot. Now I looked, but it isn't an easy protocol. Too hard for me to do anything quickly and I'm way behind on other projects.

I hope one of the other experts can take it.

[chud]

anyone else care to have a go, please

[johnsfine]

What I've figure out so far:

Look at it in units of about 227 uS.

The lead-in of each frame is 6-2.

There are four different data bursts: 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5.

lead-out is 2-big

There are 22 bursts per frame (lead-in, 20 data bursts, lead-out).

There is a first frame, then a repeat frame different from the first frame. All these learns also have a "sent once upon completion" frame. But I'm nearly certain that is due to some bug in the learning firmware and is NOT a characteristic of this protocol.

The sixth data burst of each frame includes the bit that is different between the initial frame and the repeat frame of the same signal.

The last data burst is a check burst (maybe part of a larger check structure). A one unit increase in another burst (such as the sixth) is balanced by a one unit decrease in the last burst. I think the last four bursts form an eight bit checksum. I'm not sure.

The low order two bits of the OBC are in the 13'th data burst. The next higher bits of the OBC are in the 14'th data burst (so data bursts are in LSB sequence). I expect the four bursts before the checksum (the 13'th through 16'th) are the OBC.

So I think there are five groups of four data bursts, each group representing a byte of data, with the 4th byte being the OBC and the 5th byte the check byte.

ok so using editpad with Regexp search and replace using;
464,-446 to 0
464,(-672|-674) to 1
464,(-894|-898|-896) to 2
464,(-1114|-1116|-1118|-1122) to 3
I get this;

[chud]

hmm so after abit more investigation into how to get any further, I came upon this thread from 2005 which I think is the same Cyberlink remote! (only other one with variable timing things?)
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5074
next problem is the KM file that was created at the end of this post;
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=2178
...is for JP1 and I need for a HCS08 processor chip remote (UR-7555 OFA5).
Is anyone able to convert it? I am afraid I cant find any doc's about this.
Ideally it would be nice to create a RM .rmdu file

[mdavej]

Just paste the code from the referenced post into IR, open it in RMIR, edit the device and save it. I ended up with THIS rmdu file. Piece of cake, especially since Rob and John already did all the work.

[chud]

thats got half the buttons missing and the codes dont match the KM file??
I used the ones from the KM file and all the buttons appear to be present

[mdavej]

Do all the numbers, ch+/-, AV, menu and left arrow work? That's everything in the upgrade. Half the buttons is a good start anyway.

I used the code in the post, since the km file you refereced isn't a km file. It's a protocol builder file which I do not understand. Someone else will have to chime in here to get you any farther.

[chud]

sorry my bad, i put wrong link in (just corrected) to the KM file, which contained these codes....however these and ones in thread both crash my remote needing a batteries out reset when anything is pressed

OK. Now I understand. The protocol in my file won't work as it's for the wrong processor.

[vickyg2003]

Chud, you can't use that protocol

End

because its NOT for your processor. This represents assembly instructions for the wrong language. That protocol builder file that you referenced before said that it had support for your chip.

[binky123]

https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=4816 says it has a HCS08 version which is needed for your URC-7555.

[chud]

thanks binky that makes more sense now, i thought it had to be different for different proc.

Now it works but with some strangeness;
volume up and down are back to front.
pause also makes vol go up.
Stop is actually pause.
mute and 1-3 work correctly.

However this is actually potentially a very good accident. I got this Cyberlink remote with the intention of using it for windows media player in XP, however only a few buttons worked, Stop, mute, vol up/down and 1-3. Play and pause etc did not work. [they are fine in PowerDVD that its designed for]
Anyhow I figured if some buttons worked in Media player, they all potentially did but the remote didnt send out the correct code.
This was going to be my next question, I presume once the protocol is understood it should be possible to iterate through all the possible codes to discover is they mapped to play, pause etc. [I seem to recall doing this with a TV many years ago to discover hidden things like service menu - although I cannot remember much details, it may have been a Sky rebadged OFA remote, some 'feature' let u skip through all the possible codes of a certain protocol to find the button u wanted?]
Anyway the fact that stop is pause, and pause wasnt something that worked on the original remote, means this all sounds quite possible.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much for all your help guys!
