ADB ABS-3Q76 Sat reciever (branded UBCTV in Thailand)

mattan · Post by **mattan** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 9:30 am

Hi, I just bought a Slingbox Pro and am trying to get it to work with UBCTV in Bangkok.

1. Device: Advanced Digital Broadcast model ABS-3Q76
2. Type of device: Digital Satelite box
3. Year: Dont know
4. JP1 Remote model: NO
5. JP1 user? NO
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes, tried ADB3000, ADB3100, ADB7200, YES Israel and ADB_Cable_Box
8. Checked the Pronto file section (at R/C)? No
9. Partially working setup code? No
10. Learning remote question? Create file for Slingbox (PL)

There are a few of us who looking for this file. Here is the original thread at slingcommunity.com (with pic)

http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thr ... ge=1#47786

If needed I am willing to get a learning remote here in Bangkok and post the capture to build a file. Not sure what to get and if JP1 is available here. I did the camera test so it is not a hardware problem with the blaster.

Help appreciated.

OK, progress!

I went to my friend to get some help. He had a homemade IR-receiver that we used to capture from the remote to his PC. I now have what he says are the IR hex codes for the main commands:

Power 30CF
CHANNEL UP 708F
CHANNEL DOWN F00F
VOLUME UP 08F7
VOLUME DOWN 8877
1 807F
2 40BF
3 C03F
4 20DF
5 A05F
6 609F
7 E01F
8 10EF
9 906F
0 00FF

OK 6897
UP B847
DOWN 38C7
LEFT A857
RIGHT 48B7

I guess I can use this to build the bin-file I need from scratch in RM. Will read up and try tonight but if anyone have some pointers I'd appreciate it.

What software did he use with that IR-receiver?

My guess would be LIRC. If so, post more of the file LIRC created.

The information you posted is not enough to create an upgrade. You posted the individual key detail information (how each key differs from the others) but not the part of the information that is the same for all keys.

Do you have URLs for the files you tried, especially the ADB7200?

I looked for ADB files in KM or RM format and found only two:

Advanced Digital Broadcast model ABQ-1H57-SCV

YES ADB3100 (Israel)

I compared those two to each other and to the incomplete data you posted. There is no match. They are three different code sets, so of course neither of those files would work for you.

But if you found other files, you might have converted or tested them incorrectly. If you provide the URL(s) I'll compare those to the data you posted. (I don't know how to compare slingbox files to anything, just how to compare KM or RM files to other readable forms).

To examine a Slingbox binary file, you can import it into RM at which point it will look like any other RM file.

I dont know the name of the sw he used. It was something he had used earlier as CaptureIR wouldnt boot. He just gave me the codes to note down and I was short of time.

I looked back at the files I tried and it seems the ADB7200 was actually the same as ADB3100 (and ADB cable box) but linked from a different thread.

Thanks for all your help! I will capture more date tomorrow now that I know what I am looking for.

Ok, I am at my friend's place now and we managed to get a file out of WinLIRC. Here it is:

Does it seem to include what I need for RM? I will try with CaptureIR also.

I could also try the rawmode in WinLIRC.

Thanks!

Perfect.

Code: Select all

 bits           16
  header       9078  4424
 one           652   467
 zero          652  1596
 ptrail        652
 repeat       9046  4411
 pre_data_bits   26

Those lines tell me it is Aiwa protocol, and that all the hex data is inverted.

Code: Select all

 pre_data       0x3BFE200

That tells me the device is 8 and the subdevice is 0.

Code: Select all

         power                    0x000000000000CF30

I think the hex command of each function is the last two digits of each line, so the hex command for power would be 30.

In the Functions sheet of RM, you put the Hex command in the "Hex" column and RM will compute the EFC and OBC.

In most LIRC files, the hex command is the last two hex digits of each function line if the hex inversion is different between this LIRC file and the UEI executor, but is the two digits before the last two (CF for power) if the hex inversion is the same.

As I said above, the header info told me this LIRC file has hex data inverted. I then checked RM and found that the "Aiwa Combo" executor has hex inverted but the "Aiwa" executor does not. So you would use the last two digits for hex command with "Aiwa". If you needed Aiwa Combo (meaning some commands have a different device number than others) the hex command would be based on the two digits before that.

Does it seem to include what I need for RM? I will try with CaptureIR also.

I could also try the rawmode in WinLIRC.

The file you just quoted was plenty. CaptureIr uses a similar sensor to LIRC, but it must be wired differently to the computer, so don't bother.

I'm not sure what raw mode in LIRC gives you, but probably something harder to use than what you just quoted.

Yes! It worked on first try!

Thanks guys! (johnsfine and binky123)

I will complete the file with all buttons and post the binary and RM file. For now here's the PL file with main buttons working.

The codes posted exactly match CBL/1367 and CBL/0642. Here's an upgrade file for them...
