9910 extender and Special Protocols in IR6.00?

[Wheelie4]

How I get the Special Protocols to show up in the SP tab. I see 4 in the drop down list (LKP, DKP, DSM, Toadtog) but only 1 is selectable (DSM). I'd like to have the Device Toggle in there and selectable.

Since the current RDF's haven't been updates to work with the latest IR, you'll have to add this section to the appropriate RDF. Note that the actual protcol upgrades MUST be in the IR configuration to be active (i.e. the SP's aren't available if you do a File, New).

[SpecialProtocols]
LDKP=01F9
DSM=01FC
ToadTog=0181

My tiny experience is that Device Toggle is classified as a normal keymove. So I used the keymoves sheet.

I found that even without the RDF change, after the protocol and the upgrade go in and it's assigned to a virtual device, it works . The RDF change is for the protocols Mark listed.

BTW, do the instructions say to use a device button for toggling? I put it on L1 on the 8910, a close relative of 9910, and the remote toggles just fine. It's a fantastic protocol. Thanks to whoever invented it .

Thanks Mark.

This is a pre IR6.00 made file I'm currently using in my 9910 that I'm going to add another device to today. I already have one Device Toggle TV:1102 Device in the Device tab for toggling between 2 vcr's on the VCR button. And actually the SAT button is being used also to toggle 2 devices. I have both setup as keymoves. I just thought it would be kewl to use the Special protocol tab to setup this device to toggle on the DVD button.

In the RDF under [Extenders] I added this line:
DeviceSetup=TV/1102,DeviceToggle

At the bottom of the RDF I added this:
[SpecialProtocols]
LDKP=01F9
DSM=01FC
ToadTog=0181

I have no idea what the numbers should be for DiviceToggle=xxxx. This is my first time looking in a RDF and have absolutely no idea what I'm freakin doing.

ElizabethD,

I'm under the impression you can use any key to toggle. For my VCR device and two vcr's I use the FAV key. On my SAT devices I use Shift SAT to toggle. By the way, the 8910 and 9910 are basicly identical minus the RF puck and RF transciever that the 9910 has.

Load the device in IR, go to the device tab, select the 1102 device and look in the protocol window just to the right of the devices. That 3 digit number plus a zero in front of it is what you put in the DeviceToggle= line.

That is awesome Nils, thanks. Now the two DeviceToggles I had in keymoves tab are now showing up in the Special protocol tab instead. Does this now mean I don't need to us the Special-protocol excel spreadsheet to calculate the HexCMD for two toggle devices?

I don't think the logic is in IR to calculate the hex code so you may still need to go to the spreadsheet and then enter it under the SP tab.

I could be wrong I just don't remember the discussion regarding the device toggler in IR.

[Wheelie4]

Ok thanks. After trying to create the device toggle in IR Special protocol tab it was obvious the SP spreadsheets still required. Thanks for all the help everyone.
