Whats the best way to find my own HEX codes

Read over one of the sisters' shoulder when they are looking in their big book of magic next time you watch the TV show CHARMED.

Otherwise, could you, like, supply us A TINY BIT of information?

What products are you trying to control? A/V? Computers? Lighting?

What freakin totally broad category of remote: Prontoish, Crestronish?

I hate that particular TV show and I think it's a safe bet that Lemon wants Pronto Hex. I even doubt that it would help to know what products he is trying to control. But I certainly agree with you that he didn't provide enough information to make a useful answer possible.

Lemon, look at this document by Barry Gordon. If that's what you're looking for, feel free to ask about some of the confusing details. If that's not what you're looking for, give a lot more information about what you're trying to do and why when you ask again.

Johnsfines,

Thanks for the non sarcastic advice!
I don't know a lot about HEX and thought they might be the same on all formats.
I am looking for pronto discrete hex for home cinema i.e. an Epson projector in particular.
Where do you think the best place is to stat looking

Then I hope I didn't offend you with my response in the other thread.


Now that I know it's a projector, I'll add one more detail that I should have included anyway in the other thread.

In Pronto Edit, open up one of the ordinary (non discrete) learned signals for your device. Copy the Pronto Hex and paste it into your question here.

There seem to be many more brands of projector than there are IR code sets for projectors. If you post a sample, any of the experts can see which code set it is, so you get access to discretes from other brands whose projectors use the same commands.

Thanks John,

The info you gave me has really helped I've already had two hits.

Could you just answer one more question?
Are pronto NG Code the same as I have just bought a RU950 and thought I could use them on it.

Thanks again

Lemon

Those were also from me, I believe.


Internally the 950 codes are not the same. ProntoEditNG can translate CCF files and it can translate Pronto Hex pasted into its learned signals, so you can usually use codes from the older Prontos. In fact ProntoEditNG never displays its true codes. When you display a code it translates it to Pronto Hex, so it may look like that's its true code.

Unfortunately, there is some loss of accuracy inherent in translation plus there are some serious bugs in that part of ProntoEditNG, so not all Pronto Hex will produce usable results when converted by ProntoEditNG.

I think the special RC5 and RC6 formats that begin with 5000 and 6000 will be consistently converted correctly. I'm less optimistic about that strange signal you had for the Epson EMP7700, and that was a bit of surprise anyway since the EMP7100 uses RC6.
