I'm looking for a remote control reader. The intention is that I binary codes of a remote control can read. Someone an idea how and with what software to do so? i have a philips pronto. I read something about prgramming an ir device into the pronto and then read out the discrete code. But how can i convert the discrete code into a binaire code or rc5/6

You can upload your learned codes from the Pronto to a computer. If the result is in a ccf file (most older models of Pronto) you can use DecodeCCF.exe with DecodeIr.dll to decode all the learned signals in the CCF.

For other Pronto Models, you can use some version of ProntoEdit to read out individual ir signals in Pronto Hex, then use the JP1 version of IrTool.exe with DecodeIr.dll to decode them.

Possibly you mean a discrete code loaded from the database of the Pronto, rather than programming the Pronto by learning. That's a bit trickier. Depending on the model, DecodeCCF might give some useful info. But you can't get the Pronto Hex from ProntoEdit.

Many of the discrete codes in the database actually aren't discrete codes, so don't work too hard to get it before testing to see if it actually works with the actual device.

Even then, it's probably easier to get help by posting the decode of some related learned signal, than to get the database signal extracted.

One other option, if you really want what you seemed to ask for, is the CaptureIr system (very simple build for yourself hardware with free software) described in threads in the JP1 forum.
