OK, I have a need to repeat a part of hex code for Vol + and Vol - for a macro. The vol is for a Yamaha RX-V3900. I want to change volume as part of a macro but selecting the vol + (or -) within a macro only provides for a single quick click. To get around this in the past, I repeated the click 5 times for vol + and 3 times for vol - . This worked fine on my RX-V992. However, the 3900 increases volume by 0.5 db per click. In order to change the volume by several db, I added Vol + in the macro 7 times and Vol - 3 times. This is still not acceptable - it takes too long to send Vol + 7 times. What I would like to do is create a hex code with the 7 copies of the repeating section for Vol + and 3 copies of of the vol - so that it will run since holding the button down in macro mode doesn't cause a repeat.
Then if I add this to a button in mx-editor, I can use it in a macro and it should run quicker than the individual steps in a macro. Isn't this assumption correct?
Can someone help in creating a hex code as described above? And explain how it is created? I'm not sure what the difference is between std and extended IR codes, so I don't know which one needs to be used. How long can the hex code be for mx editor?
