Title: handling discrete through input+number
Post by: klanmce on January 09, 2012, 11:10:13 pm

I am trying to get the discrete codes for a Toshiba model 24SL410U, as you can press the input button and a number, for example, hdmi 1 is input + 1.

I tried combining the following codes

I have also tried creating a generic serial device and input some ruby codes, but it does not work, see codes below

I used this previous post, what have I missed, in getting this to work.

You have not properly combined your codes.  When you add the codes together you need to adjust the amount of data the code sends.  The 3rd number 0022 should probably double when you add the second code to the first.

This link describes the pronto code formats in detail:  http://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp1.htm

Thanks it worked.

I misunderstood the burst pairs, double it and it worked. Had tried counting out the pairs, but then  only remained with a few remaining pairs at the end, so I assumed I had to be doing something wrong.

Any idea why the ruby did not work?

I'm not familiar enough with Ruby to suggest a reason why.  Glad the IR worked!

Guys, can you PLEASE document this on a page in the wiki?

It is documented on the wiki but it is buried, difficult to find and not easy to follow.  I'll see if I can freshen it a little, complete the descriptions and link it in better.

I was attempting last week to edit that very said wiki, adding the specific for the toshiba 24SL410U, but was getting an error with the original url link's and my new url link, to this said case.

It was suggested on the IRC I wait a few days, before retrying or create new page for the new hardware as I had only created my account on that said day.

I will past what I had proposed, when I reach home tonight, maybe you may have better luck, phenigma

thanks klanmce, havn't had time to update the wiki yet.  I still plan to edit it to make it a little bit more user friendly.  Great stuff!
