How do you save and share learned IR codes. I am testing the Madrigal IRIQ and have experience with Pronto Edit. With PE I can build a database of code for use on another client's unit. How can I save my work with IRIQ? Also can I run the software without putting the CD in each time? Can the software be loaded onto my hard drive? How can this site provide for sharing of these files ?

Patrick,

You should install the software from the CD onto the computer. Then get the 1.5 upgrade and install that on the computer and the remote.

You should now have, for the Madrigal, a folder under Program Files named IRIQ editor. In that folder will be a file, IRIQ setting.irm (If it is an HK it will be in a folder called Take Control Editor and the file will be TC1000 settings.irm) Copy and save the file as a text file. You will find the device you learned in the string of devices. Cut that out and save it for the future. You can paste it into any .irm either the IRIQ or the TC1000 they are identical at that level.

Any .irm can be viewed in the software by backing up the original .irm file and renaming the one you have downloade to either IRIQ settings.irm or TC 1000 settings.irm. I would not plug in the remote unless you want to try out the look of the screens on the remote instead of the computer monitor. You can always restore your original settings with the backed up copy or your .irm.

Email the files to Daniel here on the board. He will decide whether to put up a page if there are enough files.

I will host the files if there are not enough to be used here. You can email them to me if you want. I will post them until we get a page here.

Anyone who reads this post. Please email your .irm files to Daniel. There must be a lot we can learn by looking at other peoples macros and activities. Also a lot of time to be saved if you can find a device already learned.

Hi All

Has anyone decoded the layout of the .irm yet? I am guessing here, but presumably there must be the actual code itself in binary format, plus the frequency of the carrier. I would like to experiment and up the frequency to see whether I could get the TC1000 to control my projector.

I am going to look at the hex and see if I can compare it to the hex that is decoded over at JP1 for the OFA series of universal remotes. If there is some type of correlation an awful lot of work has been done by those folks that might be of use to us.

An alternate would be to buy a Radio Shack 15-1994 and gin up the discrete codes either from a pronto file or from scratch with the spreadsheets. You could upload the code to the 15-1994 and then teach the TC1000 the new code.

Good info on the IR codes over at [Link: hifi-remote.com]

I am looking on the net for ccf files for kit same as mine so I can compare. Will report back on progress.
