The ir code is the IrStr parameter of the eventstring node.

Ah I see, well add 3 eventstrings then. Learn each of the signal to it et. voila your done!
Get some XML editor and set the IrStr parameter to the correct string and be sure to have the device set to 42 in your case.
Glad you like Girder :-)

I would like to try and overcome the poor consistency with IR output from my Omniremote by "brute force". From posts I have read it seems all IRDA outputs share this problem. Using Serialwatcher program I can see the errorneous IR codes. I want to enter them directly - instead of trying to teach them to girder - so my leaned event string will be triggered by not only the correct IR code, but also the most frequently sent erroneous code(s). So I need to add either a second eventstring with this other code, or add it directly to my GML file alongside the true IR code.
The problem is I cant seewhere in the program the IR codes are. Here is a line from my gml file:
<Identifier>1444</Identifier>
<EventString IrStr="283 " Device="42" AntiRepeat="0" Num="0" Name="EventString" />
<Invert>FALSE</Invert>
Where is the IR code? And how can I accomplish my goal?

Here is an example of hex codes from my omniremote (via IR to RF converter and back to IR - do I have too many toys?!!). The parenthetical value is the frequency in a group of 20 signals:
62 00 00 00 00 00 (13)
42 70 00 00 00 00 (5)
7D 00 00 00 00 00 (1)
As you can see, if I used both the first, correct, and the second code almost all key presses would work. How do I convert Hex IR to the 3 digit code in eventstring? And could I do this:
<EventString IrStr="283, 278 " Device="42" AntiRepeat="0" Num="0" Name="EventString" />
or this:
<EventString IrStr="283 " Device="42" AntiRepeat="0" Num="0" Name="EventString" /><EventString IrStr="278 " Device="42" AntiRepeat="0" Num="0" Name="EventString" />
note to RonB: I would also like to join others in thanking you for your efforts on this fabulous program. And for you patience with me here, remember we can not all be plasma physicists!!!
