Hi Brad.
Could you send me a copy too. Thank you VERY MUCH for that!My email is walnet99@hotmail.com.

Is there anywhere in here those (IR) codes for RU950 which will work in europe with TM13?
Can anyone post them here?

Thanks.

Hi All,

I finally got with Dave and got a response. You can read it for yourself below. The information I have downloaded is not a single file but rather many .html files as well as items like codegen.exe etc. In total it is about 32 megs of files so it is not something that can be easily emailed around.

I do not care to go against Dave's wishes and post the info on my website since he was very kind and helpfull to me on a couple of projects.

Brad

Hi Dave and Dane,

I hope this finds you doing well. I was sorry to hear that you health has turned worse and does not allow you to maintain your website any longer. That brings me to my request. I have referenced your site a lot during some of my home automation projects and found the information invaluable as have others. When I saw the warning on it about your health and inability to answer questions and keep it updated I made a copy of the content for my own use. Since that time the site has been removed completely. Like myself it seems many others have come to rely on the information that was maintained on the site. Having said that I would like to ask for your permission to repost the information on my website. With your permission of course. I would post a warning to all the this info is no longer maintained and is for informational purposes only and give you full credit as the author. In addition I would remove all references to your contact information and list that you not be contacted reguarding any of this information.

What are your thoughts on this and is this acceptable?

Thanks
Brad

Brad,

I prefer things as they are.

EDV has closed so there is no longer a US source for the hardware
referenced on the pages.

My e-mail address is just too easy for people to find from other
sources. After I announced I could not respond to email I was still
getting 40-50 emails daily about the site - most generated from
RemoteCentral.

Even with the site closed, I still see 10-12 emails every day that
are about it. I really do not want to have to have to change my email
address.

The RF2RF and IR2RF just proved to be far too difficult for most
people to comprehend and I found myself spending many hours in
answering questions and offering explanations.

I've had a severe spinal cord injury for many years and now have
heart failure on top of that. The prognosis is not good and I need to
move to a smaller place so I'll have less walking and less cleaning &
maintenance. Doctor's appointments and dealing with all the above is
taking most of my time.

I do have a couple of other projects I would like to complete and
would rather be spending what time I can on them rather than dealing
with the old web site.

It is copyrighted material and anyone who publishes it will be risking a lawsuit.

As everyone can see from Dave's previous post he does not want the info published to any website. As such I have rescinded the offer share it with someone else to post on the web.

Looks like it is over until someone else as brilliant as Dave comes along. Not sure this info would do anyone any good any way since the parts are no longer available.

Now if we could get people to respect the wishes of the individuals at the MPAA and RIAA and not illegally trade their intellectual property in a similar fashion. When a person or group of persons developes intellectual property, they have a right to licence the copyrights as they see fit. Any violation of said licence agreements entitles the agreived individual or group of individuals to collect damages through civil litigation.

I fully support the rights of Dave Houston, the MPAA and the RIAA to protect their intelectual property and distribute it in such a fashion as they see fit.

Well, I'm gonna give it a shot. It will only be specific to ceiling fans (Hunter/Hampton Bay) since that it what I will be using. Unfortunately don't expect anything from me before the end of the year. I'll keep you posted.

Okay I think I have a solution to the ceiling problem. I'll work on it in the coming months. Basically, I'm gonna buy a 12 channel IR receiver kit, take apart a Hampton Bay RF remote and hard tie the IR receiver relays to simulated a button press on the remote. Conveniently, the IR kit comes with an IR remote so you can learn those buttons to your remote. I'll give details after it's built.

Hi

Is there anyone who can give me the values of the two resistors and the p/n for the transistor for the ir2rf converter. The printed copy of my diagram is illegible and as you know Dave and Dale are no longer maintaining their sites.

Thanks

That’s the Dave I remember. What motivates someone to threaten a lawsuit as a first reply? What a jerk. Not that I care about the content he’s talking about, it’s his sue you at the drop of a hat attitude.

FAO ScottH:

The 10k resistor runs from the +5V feed (also feeding pin 3 on the PNA4602M) to the PN2222A transistor. The other resistor (the one connecting to pin 1 on the PNA4602M) is 100k.

Hope that helps.

caykroyd - I am really interested in your progress. I am in the middle of setting up my HT and the Hunter Fans are somewhat of a pain in the rear. Please keep posting on your progress.

Just moved into the house. Some unpacking and settling in, then the project begins. Should be and easy solution if my initial thoughts are correct. I'll keep you updated.
