Thank you Lyndel for spotting it.
I assumed that he wouldn't modify the properties of Page+/-

Sorin/lyndel
Thanks for the help, I have input Sorin's code into a practice config and it works I have been trying different ex. from the Dev. Guide. In regards to the two buttons I have created a resources device,actions page and left & right buttons put actions to the buttons and labeled them in prontoscipt (buttons,pages and device) when you say uncomment the other lines I have tried to figure that out with no luck, I am just trying to understand that so if I want to change the Page +/- butons I can!
Thanks So Much Guys

A "comment" is ignored by JavaScript when executing: // or /*---*/
CF.widget("LEFT", "ACTIONS", "RESOURCES").executeActions();

When in doubt, fishing in the Google Lake might be very productive ;)

Makes Sense, Again thanks for your guys help! I will keep on plugging

I'm new at this and I don't know much about coding. I was able to get the scroll wheel working with this code:
onRotary = function(clicks)
{
if (clicks > 0)
{
GUI.widget("PS_CURSOR_DOWN").executeActions();
}
if (clicks < 0)
{
GUI.widget("PS_CURSOR_UP").executeActions();
}
};

This works great to scroll through the Internet radio stations. I would like to implement the acceleration function that is given in the guide. Could someone help me to get the scroll wheel to accelerate? I don't know how to do it. Let me know if any further info is needed. Thanks.

For those of you who have successfully tested code for the rotary wheel, where is the code supposed to be stored? The rotary wheel in the current version of ProntoEdit does not allow selection of rotary wheel in the "Device Properties" page, so is the code placed within the "Advanced" tab of the page where scrolling is desired? And if this is where the code is placed, should the "Repeat Every XX secs" box be checked?

Scrolling is activity level based so I always put it at the activity level. If I want different actions by page I put a test on the predicate CF.page().tag=="pageTag" to select the different page oriented actions.

Another approach is just to call a function on every page passing the click count. If that page does not do anything with the scroll wheel just return, otherwise do what is pertinent for that page re the scroll wheel.

Thanks to agr1277, it was easy to copy his script into the "advanced tab" of the "device properties" pages of where I wanted it (although I preferred to reverse the UP and DOWN commands). Note there is no "repeat" checkbox at that level.

I am now very happy to (finally) be able to use the jog wheel but, as mentioned by "agr1277", I would like some kind of acceleration function though. Does that exist?

For accelleration, there is a long winded one in the developer guide, but something ike these should work:

NOTE: I don't have a pronto with me so there may be a syntax error somewhere in here.

// Rotary with exponential accelleration
onRotary = function(clicks)
{
    var multBy = (clicks < 0) ? -1 : 1;
    clicks = Math.abs(clicks);
    if (clicks > 2)
        clicks = parseInt( (Math.exp(clicks-1))/(clicks-1));
    clicks *= multBy;
    
    // now do what you want with clicks...
}

// Rotary with 2 speed accelleration
onRotary = function(clicks)
{
    var multBy = (clicks < 0) ? -1 : 1;
    clicks = Math.abs(clicks);
    if (clicks >= 6)
        clicks *= 3;
    else if (clicks >= 3)
        clicks *= 2;
    clicks *= multBy;
    
    // now do what you want with clicks...
}

Philips makes it hard for us "Uncertified Mortals" to download the Developer's Guide, which can only be accessed by persons who are "certified". But fortunately, you can download it from this site at this address:

I did not find Level 1 Certification to be "that" hard. Having worked with Philips remotes for 6.5 years now and being a Beta Tester, I also learned a few tips/tricks in the process.


In fact, once you are certified, you will likely have fewer questions to post here about how to use the editor, configure your remote, etc...

You can redo level 1 as much as you want. Although i have to say for the price of the device i would rather have all the software free to get without the level 1 cert. (double the price here in the .eu then in the states)

Then again i can imagine philips pronto team would want you to do the cert so they wont have to deal with the 1000 mails "how do i install a xcf file" in the mailbox. So they can focus on creating new functions for the pronto.

Great. I didn't know that. Thanks Bigk200.

Could someone give me a hand integrating the code I posted with the code Brett posted to accelerate the wheel. I messed around with the code Brett provided but I still couldn't get it working with my code. Any help would be appreciated. - Jason

Read on this thread also.

For accelerated script use the number of clicks/100ms (returned by the onRotary callback function) applied apply your algorithm of choice.
Question is how do you want to implement this new acceleratedClicks value in your code?
