The term I would use is "tweak a protocol", and the tool you'd need is a protocol builder. Protocol builder or PB, is an Excel spreadsheet.

In the Protocol files section you'll find Protocol Builder, and some help documents.


Sometimes this is pretty easy. Sometimes you just need to change a parameter in protocol builder and everything is done for you, but in this case the protocol contains quite a bit of assembly code. So you need to understand the assembler and make the adjustments.

There isn't really anything that I found to be a good how-to guide on this. PB had me stumped for a long time.

I started to look at this, and when I was preparing a folder on my PC to hold my project, I found I already had a GI Cable folder. I found that Rob wrote a GI Protocol that a user needed to HOLD key C for 8 repeats for use in macros. Unfortunately there isn't an HCS08 version, but I think that indicates that it would be best to force 1 repeat and then allow a hold version too.

cbutkus, I attempted to create an upgrade with a protocol that sends an upgrade.

I've zipped a PB file and an RDMU file together to get you started. Normally I would test this prior to posting, but you know my situation.

I will try have a look at this tomorrow. Thanks!
