Sending channel numbers with GC iTach

[Kalle]

Can you show me the "sendir,1:3 ..." code for the digit 1?

[Etrust]

sure here:

Hmm, no idea 

Can you try the code for my LG TV ? Maybe it will work (Digit1), then I can upload the whole codes for the LG.

Digi1:   sendir,1:3,1,38095,2,1,12,12A12,24AAA24,24CAAAAAC12,3809

Hi! Thank you for the code but it is not working too :-(

I really have no idea too. With the iLearn tool from global cache it is working well but not in VC :-(

what is not working: When I say "mtv" the blaster sends the command 11 or 1122 instead of 172 to my tv.

Even when you are copying xml commands from others it is a good idea to look at the actions you are using, and to look at the parameter descriptions, and try to understand what the command is actually doing.  This can save you a lot of time.

The GcCompress action is used in the code-learning/map generating command you originally copied. The second parameter is the number of times to repeat the code. I think it is sending the codes twice.  Some devices require the code to be repeated in order to work and some do not.

If you want to edit your map table you can change the number after 37825 from a 2 to a 1
Compare the codes that ilearn returns when working to the ones you have in your map editor to see if this number is a 1.

Hi Guys!!

I have good news: it is working. What I have done and can say:

I have started iLearn. Than I have learn the number 1 from my tv remote. I have than copied the code from ilearn and have insert the code in the map editor from VC. Result: It works. Interesting is, that learning with VC and learning with ilearn is different (check screen) because I can see different codes. The codes from ilearn is bigger and use port 1 I think.

I had to make a big pause between the commands (check screen) otherwise it doesn't work.

What I will try now is to test changing only the number 2 to 1 after the number 37825 like james wrote. I will let you know if it will work. I also will test the nice scripts from kalle and nime5ter.

This forum and this solution is so nice. I love it!!!!Thank you so much spendeing your time helping people over the world.

The ir code looks different because the short one is compressed.

A pause of 20 seconds is a bit overdrawn

You use the "VcGrp_iTach learn payloadXML" which you have found here in the forum, but you have forgotten to check the settings in the "learn complete set map" command. This show me 2 repeats on port 3 and this is why your IR codes doesn't work - small cause, big effect (see attached picture).
This has James exactly suggested in the post above

hi Kalle,

yes I know, but my tv is slow and is ready only after 20 seconds to change the channel 

Yes I could find the options james was talking about thank you! Now everything is great and working.

[jitterjames]

What I find confusing is that it seems to work if you use port 3 but it also works on port 1.  I guess this is a "iTach Flex" related issue.  On my Wifi2IR you must specify the correct port or it will not work.

[Kalle]

I think the flex routing the signal to port 1 on which is the blaster connected. Etrust can test it by sending to port 2 and maybe it will work too.

Hi Guys, ok I will test on Port 2 and will let you know soon as I have the possibility to test home.
