so what your telling me here is that as long as the code
is in 5000 format the unit will understand and alternate
the codes from one bit to the other.
"unit" is confusing. In 5000 format the Pronto will know to alternate which command it sends.
But it sounds like the Creston can't use 5000 format.
ie vol command needs
to toggle other wise it will not work after sending the
code once.
I think vol commands are an exception. But I don't know enough about Linn to know. Which commands are exceptions to the rule depends on how the manufacturer interprets the standard usually vol commands are exceptions. The exceptions work even if you send the same signal twice in a row.
Does the tuner use digits like a tv or cable tuner? The most likely place to see trouble from sending the same signal twice in a row would be something like trying to tune channel 11.
now i'm guessing that the pronto itself toggles
the command and not the device that receives the signal
correct?
Correct. The signal the Pronto sends using 5000 format is identical to one of the two signals it could have sent using 0000 format. The difference only appears when you send it again, then it is the other one.
after looking t the makehex program again how does this
program open? i have downloaded it and unzipped it but
i will have to make a new IRP file if i read that readme
correct. or should i just use the RC5 .IRP file don't
really know where to go with that one.
You need to edit the rc5.irp file, then drag/drop the icon of the .irp file onto the icon of makehex.exe
Double clicking MakeHex.exe does nothing.
I emailed a ccf file to you from one run of makehex and hex2ccf.
The crestron system will only accept full IR codes from
.CCF files. I know this sounds stupid but i don't know
how to say itcorrectly so here it goes the codes i have
now are only 24 characters long the crestron ir learning
program will not accept these and prompts me with : "too
few data bits"
I guess I didn't make that clear. The 5000 format of Pronto Hex is always that short and it sounds like creston doesn't understand that format.
the only way it will take them if they
are the long codes usually around 100 characters long.
The 0000 format of Pronto Hex for RC5 is over 100 characters long.
the crestron system only accepts
one code at a time not a whole .CCF file.
Yuck.
Then MakeHex without IrPanels or hex2ccf is appropriate, so you don't need to navigate a CCF file nor deal with decimal button labels. (The restriction to decimal labels is in irpanels and hex2ccf not in makehex).
I'll email that form to you.
