Direct Hex Entry of RC-5 Codes?

I have a T2 on order as an upgrade from my trusty Pronto, and am trying to setup my configuration file in advance. I am currently trying to setup my IR Library. I was thinking I could copy the hex codes for all of my remote commands from ProntoEdit into T2 Designer, and largely save myself the task of learning IR commands later. I am using the F12 method of assigning hex codes, as described elsewhere on this site. This seems to work great for all of my remotes except for those based on RC-5 codes. I get the message "Unknown code type detected" when I attempt to add the hex code for an RC-5 command. Can T2 Designer recognize the hex equivalent of RC-5 codes? It would be great if a future release of T2 Designer natively supported RC-5 codes, like ProntoEdit does. Thanks for your help.

The Pronto's hex format for RC5/6 codes actually references an internal database in the remote -- so it's not just a simple matter of converting it to the T2's format. They would also need to reference another database.

Daniel,

Thanks, that clears it up. Guess I'll have to wait to learn my RC5-based remotes directly when I receive my T2. Still would be nice to see native support for RC5/6 commands as a feature of T2 Designer at some point in the future. I assume I'll have no problem "teaching" the T2 via my Pronto? I have a couple of RC5 commands that are implemented on my Pronto, but not on the actual remote that's supplied with the product in question (discrete on/off codes). Thanks, again.

Tom
