Hi all!

I'm very happy with my TT, but there are some inconveniences concerning the teach-in software.

Whenever you learn a new remote, you never know about toggle-codes. And so it may happen, that your wonderful programming doesnt work as you expect.

Suggestion:

The teach-in software should ask twice or more times to scan a button. If the scancode for the same button is different from the previous one, a generic Button should be created in the .cml-file.

e.g.: you define a "Mute" - button, that toggles it's code whenever being pressed.

The teach-in-software should ask to press the button again and create a generic button "Mute_" in the command library if it detects a different signal.

This loop should be done for a specific button again and again until a code is detected that was already there.

A year ago i wrote an email to RTI concerning this problem, but i didnt get an answer by now.

So i wrote a utility that solves the problem:

Now i define every button twice (e.g. Mute/Mute_) and than I enter capture mode to learn every button (including the self-made double_).

When this step is finished, i run my program over on *.cml file.

It lists every remote and every code in the library, and finally prints a list of any code that exists twice within a specific remote.

I than delete the double definitions and have a complete and clean *.cml file.

The utility will be in the download-area in a few days, the name is "ChkDblIr.exe" which means "Check Double InfraRedcodes".

It was some work to analyze and decode the RTI-cml file structure. But now it works fine and i'm happy with it.

Hope you will enjoy it.

Ed.

That's pretty cool Ed. I must admit that I have never encountered this type of toggle buttons with distinct IR signals before. Perhaps there are few of them, and therefore it ended up low on RTI's priority list.

But then again, perhaps your request simply went ignored. In my experience, RTI is pretty good when it comes to customer service over the phone, but I have never received ANY response from them on feature requests sent via email (most recent request sent early last week - no response so far).
