I just got the tsu6000 for a client. I want to program it this weekend, but won't have access to the components. Is there a way to select the devices and codes without having them here at my house? I have the model numbers for each component.

Also, I want to really customize this thing for them. Is there a 'Newbie' guide for programming using ProntoEdit?

You won't be able to program it without access to the devices. For one thing the builtin IR code database doesn't work by model number. You have choices like "sony-1" and "sony-2" etc. For another, getting activity macros like "Watch DVD" working without sitting in front of the system, is close to impossible.

If you fish around a few other newbie topics you'll find the "Newby Toolbar" posted. It has links to lots of good startup information. It is frequently posted as a reply by Anthony. Good luck.

For example, the Newby Toolbar I was talking about is at the bottom of this thread...

Not true, you can program the Pronto with out access to the devices or even the remote itself. Just download from this website ProntoEdit 4.0 and existing CCF files that contain screens for the client's devices. Mrege together the screens into a single CCF for the client's remote, test with the emulator and download to the Pronto.

For final testing you will of course require access to the devices.

ADGrant is right, I do all of my programming either in the evenings or weekends as it's the only spare time I have. With experance you can even nail most of the activity macros as well. Only getting in front of the equipment will prove you've got it right though. There should only be a few snags to iron out on the day then.

Hope your programming goes well, I've got 2 ccf's to do tomorrow myself.

Here's your very own copy!

Click on the links in the box below, in particular you will find : the FAQ, Reviews, Play With It, Phases, Planning and ALIAS.CCF helpful when just starting out.

And remember when you ask questions to be specific in your Heading and very specific in your question, including precisely what your problem/question is and what model Remote you have and what OS you are using on your PC.

Also, don't forget the Search Forum at the bottom of the Page. It may seem slow but it is VERY thourough and don't be mislead by the "0%" you will see on the first screen, it is only a progress marker.

I will also add that if the file section does not have a CCF with the needed device you can still create the user interface. Learning only takes minutes, designing the panels takes a long time.
