Cant get G4 to see my DVICO Remote - works with HID in G3

[Zilbert]

I have just started to use Girder and have decided that I should get straight into Girder 4. But I cant get started because G4 will not see my DVICO Fusion HDTV Remote. It works fine in G3 using the HID Plugin.
Can any one help.?

[Promixis]

do you enable the hid plugin in g4?

it doesn't work with the g3.3 hid plugin

[Zilbert]

I downloaded G4 and when it started I made shure that HID was ticked an dloaded.
I presume it is the G4 HID.

[Promixis]

yes it is.

do you change the config at all? what do you see?

[Zilbert]

You lost me there a bit!
When I click the HID Tab it Shows % Logitec USB Devices And DVICODVICO USB HID Remocon V1.00. I dont seem to get much further because Gurder is not seeing the remote

[Ron]

Click on the DVICODVICO USB HID Remocon V1.00 label then press Edit OnRead then enter this code into that box.



function HidRead( data )
local hexstring,x,i

hexstring=''
for i=1,string.len(data) do
x = string.byte(data,i)
hexstring = hexstring .. string.format("%02X", x)
end

gir.TriggerEvent(hexstring, 18,1)
end


Make sure the enabled box in this screen is checked.

Sorry Ron

I can not enable the code. I get an error message... [String"DVICODVICO USB HIDRemocon V1.00"] :4:unfinished string near' " '

I have checked and am sure I have not made any typos.

any ideas??

Copy and paste it, not type it :-)

you probably typed a " instead of a '' (the first one is a double quote, the second are two single quotes, that is what we need).

[Zilbert]

Thanks Ron

Girder4 can now see my remote.
Its easy when you know how.
Now starts the fun part. Getting it to do what you want!!!

[Promixis]

would you do a mapping for the remote and export it and attach to this thread?

[Zilbert]

Mike I would love to, but I cant get the "Detecting Remote screen to detect the remote.
The "Log Display" Sees every button I press.??

What Next??

Hi,

Change the 18 in the above script to 10004

that will be the plugin id for this remote....

[Zilbert]

Its still logging but not detecting in "Detecting Remote" ???

[Promixis]

did the number change in the logger?

[Zilbert]

Yes, Source is now 10004

Zilbert

[Promixis]

ok will look into it!

[Ron]

The next release (beta10 pre3) will have this fixed.

I just downloaded G4-10 and find that I still cant Map my DvicoFusionHDTV Remote.
Girder now recognises The Remote and I can get to the "Learn Buttons" screen, but when I press a button, nothing happens in that window. In the previous "Remote Selection" screen I "Selected Source Device" as HID. In "Name" what ever I fill in, reverts back to "My HID".
In the "Girder 4.0" screen the 2 Leds are green. When I push a remote button, Left led flashes yellow and the box to the right displays the pressed button code. So I assume that bit is working.
Any suggestions.???

[Ron]

I'll look into this.

[Ron]

This should work now with beta release today.

Export of Remote map attached.
The Remote has 36 buttons. 7 of which I have not mapped.
Of the others there are 6 that you may consider doubtfull.
PC Off = Shutdown
HDTV = TV
DVHS = VIDEO
Green Button = Key G
Yellow Button = Key Y
Blue Button = Key B

Regards Zilbert

[Zilbert]

Sorry Ron. I cant attach the attachment.

How do I get it to you??
