For peoples who are interested in Sony SIRC codes, today I posted IR Lab on my website. This is an application which generates Sony SIRC hex codes for use in Philips Pronto Edit Professional. All Sony SIRC formats are supported (12, 15 and 20 bits codes). IR Lab can be downloaded from www.burud.netBest regards, Espen Burud

Please note that I am not knocking your program and do thank you for the contribution...
Just curious, what makes your program better than MakeHex, other than likely being easier to understand? Does your program also output a text format that can be pulled into IRPanels.exe (See Classic Pronto Files Section) to automatically generate a CCF that can be imported into PEPv1?

A couple of suggestions:
what you generate are the IR codes not the control S codes. The control S codes would have a 1000 as the first hex pattern to cause the pronto to eliminate the carrier and generate a base band signal. With a simple checl box option you could allow the user to choose.
Many users would like to know what the function name is for the code so being able to relate the function (remote key) name to the key code (0-127) would be helpful. In the sony world that is fairly standardized.
Many users would appreciate the ability to generate multiple Key codes so making it table driven would do that.
This type of program has been around for quite some time but new versions are always welcome. As Lyndel stated makeHex is one of then, GenIRDB is another.

Mr Mod: The error message you receive is because the .NET Framework 3.5 is not installed by default on WinXP SP3 machines (it can be downloaded from [Link: microsoft.com]). In the easter I will make some improvements, and recompile it for .NET Framework 2.0 which is installed by default on WinXP SP2. Iīm sorry for the missing information about this requirement. The idea was to make a GUI based solution to make it easier to use. Barry Gordon: Thanks for your suggestions. I havenīt found any information about the S control codes, so I donīt have the exact format. But if you have any information about that, it will be very appreciated if you can share it. This version was an initial version 1.0 of the program, so in the future I will extend it with more input and output formats. A database functionality will also be implemented, so we can display key codes, device lists and get a list of codes available for a specific device.

This application is now recompiled to .NET Framework 2.0 and deployed using ClickOnce. All requirements will also be installed automatically if they are not present. By installing the new version from www.burud.net, you will automatically be notified when new versions are published.

Sony Control-S protocol is identical to the IR protocol but no carrier, just the baseband envelope. In Pronto Hex format the firts word controls that so changing it from 0000 to 1000 causes the carrier not to be generated when the IR emitter is pulsed.

When I generate an Control-S code and paste it into Pronto Edit Professional 2 for testing, I got the following error: Communication with the Pronto failed. Please retry. (Error: C1, Unknown).
Barry: Are you sure that I need to change the first word only?

That is the way it was in all older Pronto's. The first word declares the format of the HEX string. 0000 means learned code. 1000 menas learned code but carrier set to off so the IR emitter does not flash but stays on for the length of the On time of a burst pair.
Philips might have changed it, but why do that?
There is a very detailed paper on this forum in the files section which completely discusses all of the first word codes. You might want to look at that.
Why don't you send a note to the Pronto team re the error message.

Try this...
From Internet Explorer, right-click on the link and choose Save Target As...
Then, double-click the downloaded file to initiate download and install of the .NET program.
