Okay well I am a newbie when it comes to these codes can
you please provide a link to the "JP1" site, as well as
a link to where the "Upgrade files" are located. Also
how do I convert a Pronto Hex Code to a useable code?
Thanks again,
Wally
You can learn about JP1 remotes starting
here, and then look through the rest of the
forum. Basically, you need Remotemaster to program and layout the functions on the remote, IR to upload the programming from Remotemaster to the remote using JP1 cable, and RDF files, and map and image files to define the remotes for Remotemaster and IR. The upgrade files used by Remotemaster are located
here. Usually, especially for bigger brand names, you don't have to find the exact model that you are looking for. Generally, larger manufacturers are fairly consistant about the ir signals they use between different model, and you can try similar models to start, and modify using Remotemaster.
You can convert Pronto Hex codes to EFC to put in to the upgrade files for Remotemaster by using
IRTool and adding
DecodeIR.DLL to the same folder as IRTool. In order to use the information if IRTool to use it as advanced codes on the remote without the JP1 cable to program the remote, though, is a little more difficult. Basically, you need to find a setup code that matches the protocol name and device numbers and then you can use the enter the EFC number as advanced code in the steps I outlined above. This all probably sounds very confusing, but once you start reading about JP1, it might get a little clearer.
