I am trying to convert binary data from a Antex Triple play sirius piece into hex codes to use on a Sonance K2 keypad, if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

IR command Binary Data(D0, the LS bit shown to the left and sent first)

Zone 1 = XM1 000100

Zone 2 = XM2 100100

Zone 3 = XM3 010100

1 000010

2 100010

3 010010

4 110010

5 001010

6 101010

7 011010

8 111010

9 000110

0 100110

PRESET 111100

SELECT 110001

UP ARROW 101110

DOWN ARROW 011110

LEFT ARROW 100001

RIGHT ARROW 010001

POWER TOGGLE 001110

POWER ON 011100 (not supported yet supported on SRX-3)

POWER OFF 011000 (not supported yet supported on SRX-3)

converting decimal to hex is pretty easy - you can use a number of online conversion calculators like the one below:

But I don't know if that is what you need - I don't work with Sonance at all so I don't know how their software can create IR commands from a simple hex code. RC5 would need an address number - I can't say whether you'll have enough data here to make this work. Maybe Eric Johnson will chime in and lend his Oracle-like insight.

Thanks Jeff, What a cool resource, it did'nt give me a hex code that would work, but thanks again. Maybe Eric will see this and respond, Pease Eric, Oh great one.

You may already know this (in which case sorry to state the obvious) but...

One of the problems might be the bit ordering - let's take the select command 110001:

First of all, to convert to 2 hex digits we need 8 bits. So we pad the MS end with zeros: 11000100

Now, if you just put that into a binary-hex converter you will get 0xC4 since the converter will assume the left hand end is the most significant. So you need to enter it backwards: 00100011 = 0x23

With some software you need to swap the nibbles:

110001 pad to give 11000100 reverse to get MSB on LHS 00100011 then swap nibbles 00110010 =0x32

the calculator included with Windows will aslo do all of these conversions.
