These commands are neither Pronto HEX codes or Lintronics Timing codes.

If you have the Pronto codes, then just post those and I will convert them for you.

 

Strange.

 

I can show you the steps I did.

Keith, could you please check what im doing wrong?

If I could just add that you should change the description on your 3rd Party XML tool that the Lintronic software can not be used any more.

I have had a look at your video and I can see where you are getting confused.

The Beoworld XML Converter takes the Lintronic captured timings and converts them into a useable XML file. The converter cannot translate a Pronto HEX as found on Remote Central. The data you got from the Lintronics program is not a waveform timing.

If you look at the Beoworld XML Converter help file you will see that the captured (i.e. assumes you have a Lintronics box) Lintronic timings are in the form as shown below:-

Pulse, Pause in micro-seconds
00493 ( 37 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 684 ( 52 )
00249 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 440 ( 34 )
00252 ( 19 ) 00533 ( 41 )  = 785 ( 60 )
00242 ( 19 ) 00367 ( 27 )  = 609 ( 46 )
00241 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 432 ( 34 )
00252 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 443 ( 34 )
00251 ( 19 ) 00533 ( 41 )  = 784 ( 60 )
00243 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 434 ( 34 )
00250 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 441 ( 34 )
00252 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 443 ( 34 )
00251 ( 19 ) 00533 ( 41 )  = 784 ( 60 )
00267 ( 21 ) 00342 ( 25 )  = 609 ( 46 )
00242 ( 19 ) 00533 ( 41 )  = 775 ( 60 )
00243 ( 19 ) 00365 ( 27 )  = 608 ( 46 )
00243 ( 19 ) 00367 ( 27 )  = 610 ( 46 )
00241 ( 19 ) 00701 ( 53 )  = 942 ( 72 )
00242 ( 19 ) 00191 ( 15 )  = 433 ( 34 )
00251 ( 19 ) 24376 ( 1853 )  = 24627 ( 1872 )

It is this data that the Beoworld XML Converter uses.

If I look into your Excel file I see the Pronto codes which can be converted to the timing format noted above.

The first one in your list is for the ON key for a Samsung PS507705 and the HEX pronto code shown is:-

0000 006D 0000 0022 00AC 00AC 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0689

Converting this Pronto HEX code for ON gives you a timing string as follows:-

04472,04472 = 8944
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,00546 = 1092
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,01664 = 2210
00546,00546 = 1092

If you were now to put the above timing string into a text file and say call it ON and use it with the Beoworld XML Converter you will have an XML file which will then work.

I have taken the pronto HEX codes you supplied in your Excel file for the Samsung PS507705 and made an XML file for you to test.

You can download it from link

Extract the ZIP file to C:\ and the file will be automatically added to the correct directory in the Configuration Tool

I looked at the IR protocol that these codes produce and it is not any protocol I have seen before, so if it does not work then we can assume that the Pronto HEX codes you found on the

Location: Hampshire, England

That makes so mutch more sense now :)

When parsing the timings to a new text file just naming it on.txt off.txt hdm1.txt etc. and then pointing your tools to the directory worked.

The XML you tried with the PS507705 did not work. But I will send you a working XML when im done with it (found a pronto ccf file that had working ir-codes).

I have a question regarding the LinTronic import tool software. How do you go about getting that on the computer. I downloaded the LinTronic Configurator tool and before I pull the trigger on buying a license, I'd like to ask if someone can direct me to a proper download link. I don't mind paying for the software, I just don't know which one to pay for. Essentially I'm looking for the same thing that is on the youtube video posted here. From what I can read in the "window" on the video it's called CODE LEARN that is being used to 'translate' to Beo5 xml converter. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
