Help for USBUIRT

[ingalls]

Hello everybody.

I try to make learn the USBUIRT some codes. It learns well a lot of codes.
But, for the TV command, I wanted to learn the number codes.

For exemple, I wanted to try the 1: it's OK
But if I want to do a long command to make the 1x to have something like that: 12 for exemple (with a 2 command), I have problems to do it...

Someone can tell me how to do?

thanks!!

Just to be more precise, to have a 1 command that is ok in xlobby, I justhave to make a normal push on the remotecontrol
To have a 1x or 1_ command to make something like to number buttons (12 or 17 for exemple) I have to push on the remote control for 3seconds.

If someone knows how to do, I will be very happy!!!

Have you tried learning each button on its own then adding them to the same event so one command would be sent after the first. Like a macro.

yes, this work when I put 5 times the command in the event manager.
But it feels to me to be a little bit "strange" to have to do that!

I don't think it's so "strange". Think about it; when you're using a real remote, you are in fact passing all these commands. That is, to get the number "12" to your TV, you have to press "1", then "2". It makes sense that with USBUIRT you would also have to pass the command for "1" followed by the command for "2"
Maybe I'm misunderstansding the issue you had.

In fact, if a make one event with one command for 1 and one for 2, I will have not a 12 action but a 1 then 2 action.
If I want to have the 12, I have to put 5 command for one (like a long press on one to have the 1_ appear) the the 2 command and it works!!!

Hello,
I'be still a problem...
I've made a backup of my PC, my AdslTv change a lot of things in the last firmware update (kiosk, dolbydigital...), I feal that there is a little change in the Channel selection... and I don't arrive to make the 12 channel selection by making simply 1 event with 5 "1" command and 1 "2" command...
It doesn'g give me the 12 channel but the 2 one... because it doen't show 1_ (even if I put More "1" command in the event...
Maybe I shouls make better things by changing the Anti Repeat or the repeat or the format thing in the IR plugin tab of Xlobby.
Someone could help me?

Igalls, unfortunately I am not fully clear in what you are trying to do, but I can tell you how I programmed in multi-digit channel numbers (I do this so I can just press the channel button logo to go to my station)
First, I had the USBUIRT learn all 10 infrared digit codes (0 through 9).
Next, in the event groups I created a channel macro. For a 3 digit number (ie 205), there would be 6 commands. The first command would be the "2(IR)", the second command would be "wait (3ms)", the third command is the IR "0(IR)", the fourth is "wait (3ms)", the fifth command is "5(IR)", the last command is "select(IR)". This mimics what you do in real life when you press a remote control.

It's exactly what I try to do, but I have to do a long push with my remote to have the 1_ and then have the possibility to put the second number (for example, for channel 13, I put the 3) so I want to emulate a 1_ then 3 to do the 13.
When I go to the setup, I did the learn of the ten number in the IR plugin (0 to 9).
In the event manager, I use the IR command, and I put five command 1 to emulate the 1_ and then a 3 command to have the 13 number done by ONE event.

Unfortunatly, the five event 1 doesn't give me a 1_ but still a 1, and after, with the 3 command, I stay in the 3 channel and not the 13...
I think this is because there is a "Gap" between each 1 command and it can't emulate a long push one 1 but it do Three push on one... What I want to do is to trys to make a better command to have this famous 1_ command by adjusting the IR plug in parameters using:
-Anti Repeat?
-repeat?
-format?
And don't really understand what are the differences between these options and how to use them...
I tried too using with the timer, but it doesn't even changed anything because the problem is before...
The driver version of Usbuirt is the 1.3
The Ir plugin version is the last one.
One last thing: sometimes, it works with the channel 80... I don't know why, I did the exact same thing with five 8 command and one 0...

I'm not quite sure I fully understand but it sounds a bit like a problem I've seen on Prontos. If you string button presses together there is sometimes an issue because they 'run into' each other as far as the reciving equipment is concerned. The trick on the Pronto is to put a gap between each command.

Button 1.
'gap' 0.1 second
Button 2

That way it works more like a real remote.

Dont know if there is a suitable 'pause' for a bit command in XL that you can use (Pronto does have such a command tht you can add to the macro).

I will try that, thanks
