Hi there,

I recently bought a 50" LG plasma tv. The remote control has a single on/off button, but the manual indicates that there are discrete on/off codes. I am totally lost as to how to make these hexa codes into a usable format for my TSU3000 and then how/where to add it to PENG. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The manual can be found at this link: [Link: tinyurl.com]

Many thanks

ps I accidentally posted this in the Pronto Classic forum as well.

Post a learned code for Power that has been shortened to the 900A format. I will then explain how to plug in the following functions to get discrete codes.

0xC4 Power On
0xC5 Power Off

What I need to know is the device ID and your post of the Power Toggle code will give me that.

Lyndel, I'm not quite sure where to find the learned code. I looked in my PCF > Button Properties > Actions > IR Code, but I can't seem to find anything that resembles a code. Where should I be looking?

Double-click the IR code and you will be presented with a dialog asking you to learn a code, set the IR Code Duration. In the center of this window will be a text area labeled "IR Code:"

In there, you'll find a set of numbers such as:

0000 006D 0020 0000 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 06D5 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E

I need those numbers.

Thanks,
Lyndel

Lyndel, I'm running PENG 3.1.3.0 and I can't find the set of numbers you mention. I seem to recall being able to see them on a previous version of PENG, but not now. I'm emailing you a copy of my PCF and a screen capture of what I am seeing in PENG.

Thanks so much for your help!

Wyatt,

You've got mail. You are using Database codes and that's why you can't see the IR data. Learn the Power Toggle code from your LG remote and post the results.

Lyndel

OK - I remember trying the database code in the hope that they would work as discrete codes.

Here's the learned code for power on/off.

0000 0066 0026 0000 016C 00B6 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0016 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0044 0016 0666 016C 005A 0016 0F4A 016C 005A 0016 00B6

The learn above is not a clean learn so I tweaked it a bit and came up with this shortened code for Power Toggle.

900A 0068 0000 0001 04FB 08F7

The Device is 0x04
The 1's complement of the device in hex is 0xFB (Not in Windows Calc.exe scientific Mode)
The Function for Power Toggle is 0x08
The 1's complement of the function in hex is 0xF7

So, assuming this code will do the power toggle (you'll need to try it), if you change the 08F7 above to the following by calculating the 1's complement for 0xC4 and 0xC5, you should have discretes.

C44C = Power ON
C54B = Power OFF

Here are the modified codes.

900A 0068 0000 0001 04FB C44C
900A 0068 0000 0001 04FB C54B

Lyndel,

Neither of those codes worked.

Here is the re-learnt code which I hope is a clean learn (I did it 3 times).

0000 0066 0024 0000 016C 00B6 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0017 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0044 0017 0666 016C 005A 0017 00B6

Using MakeHex with the following "doctored" by doubling the repeat information information in the file NEC.irp provides the following code data for functions 0xC4 and 0xC5 (196 and 197 decimal respectively)

The repeat doubling is necessary to prevent PENG/PPENG from shortening the code.

[BEGIN contents of modified NEC.IRP]
Device=04
Function=0..255

Protocol=NEC
Frequency=38000
Time Base=564
One=1,-3
Zero=1,-1

R-Prefix=16,-4
R-Suffix=1,-174
Default S=~D
Form=*,D:8,~D:8,F:8,~F:8,_;*,_,*,_
[END contents of modified NEC.IRP]

If you run the above IRP file through MakeHex, you will get a text file named NEC.hex which contains all 256 (Functions 0-255) codes. Power On/Off are shown below.

As there are likely more codes that you will need (ie discrete inputs). You should be able to figure out what the decimal function numbers are from your PDF using Windows Calculator in scientific mode.

I'd highly recommend becoming familiar with both MakeHex and IRPanels. If you need a primer on IR Code formats, read Barry Gordon's User Document on Pronto Hex IR Formats. All 3 of these are available in the Pronto (Not Pronto NG) files section.

Lyndel

Thanks Lyndel - that works perfectly!

I'll take a look at the "recommeded reading list", but this is so different to anything else I've done I'm not sure my feeble intellect will be able to cope.

Y/W.
