Special Protocols for HCS08 remotes?

Post by **The Robman** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 9:39 am

Has anyone thought about writing HCS08 versions of all the special protocols and then figuring out the right values for all the HCS08 remotes out there?

I notice that Binky has written a Device Multiplexor + Pause Protocol for the URC-8820, so that's a start.

User "Friday" could use an HCS08 version of the Device Multiplexor customized for the Dreambox v4 remote:

If I remember correctly, the multiplexors didn't port very well from the 8820 to the Atlas or the Comcast. They took several hours of tweaking for me to get them right. I could convert the special protocols from the extended version to the unextended version, but they would take more code because I couldn't use the common code I put in the extender and that still wouldn't guarantee that they would work with the dreambox. However without a remote I would find it very difficult to get it to test, because I do most of my work by guessing. I really should do this for the hybrid though since I do have that remote

Are these dreambox remotes European or are they available here?

I think they're European.

According to my notes,

The Device Multiplexor protocol switches to the setup code specified on the button or keymove. URC-39930 only supports 1-byte keymove.

Code: Select all

Upgrade Protocol 0 = 01 FE (HCS08) UnExtended Device Multiplexor for URC-6820/8820/10820/39930/1067
 20 04 00 00 02 00 8C BE 4B 58 B6 60 E7 C3 B6 61 E7 C4 81
End

The following device upgrade maps BOUQUET+=24 B8 for SAT/1238 and BOUQUET-=25 FD for SAT/1563
Upgrade Code 0 = 1C 4F (TV/1133) Uses Device Multiplexor Protocol 01FE. BOUQUET+=SAT/1238 BOUQUET-=SAT/1563
 FE 00 21 24 B8 25 FD
End

Then, to make it work, you'd need to create a "helper" upgrade that has all the right codes assigned to buttons and then the Multiplexor keymoves would refer to those buttons.
