Hi

I bought X10 modules from the US and I adapt them to 230 50 Hz.
things work fine for X10 but
I have several remote control from X10. com (the mouse one, and normal 6 or
8 in1)
the only thing they can control (in France ) is my VCR (GRANDIN) and of
course X10...
but not the TV(ARDEME), Satellite(worldsat), HiFi(Kenwood), DVD (Tokai)
have you ideas, WWW sites to change the eprom or reporgramm or "howTo" let
the so called universel remote work with other devices ?

thanks in advance.

Ciao

So we can use the same remote for
both now. Because the Blaupunkt in reality contains the innards from
Panasonic...

Panasonic electronics in a Blaupunkt? Not something Blaupunkt would
like their customers to know...

Just an additional remark: Try setting the X10 remote to the code of the
Panasonics PV-7453. That's a pretty popular VCR core. Then try if it
gives you the basic functions.

Well, it looked very similar when I opened it and all basic functions
seem identical from the Panasonic remote. I think OEM cores are pretty
standard these days. Why not, if it is a good product in the end? Same
with cars. There were cars that were US made but had Japanese engines.

universal remotes can be had for as little as 10 Euro here...

Yes, Jan, but he wants to have one remote that can control all the A/V
gear and also the X10 modules. You can buy that with the X10 system but
have to live with whatever codes it comes with for A/V gear.

The difference versus a universal remote is that this one has an
additional RF transmitter that sends commands to a receiver that is
plugged into a power outlet.

Ok, ididnotknow it was RF
And, referring to an other subject, replacing hundreds of remote controls
for settop boxes for as many systems with a PC and ONE remote.
I have many remotes, and I do not want any more....
A little longer and you will have brain wave control.

There is already software for Palm/Windows CE computers that do this. Not sure
if this is what you want, but...

yes it called OmniRemote but doesn't do RF, like Joerg mentionned.

Alos, Joerg, I said that the only thing that works is the VCR control :)
but not the other devices :-(

What I want is to modify my X10 remotes eproms or so,

on the site of X10, they just sell a new kinf of remote that does "learning"
from other remotes...
far expensive 50 USD !

:-(

Sounds OK! I did a small attempt at IR transmit from the PC,
it worked fine in DrDOS 6, but the timing screws up badly in MS windows
and Linux (you need to generate 38kHz or so), I used it with an IR LED
to start my video recorder, switch it to a channel, and used the composite for
the teletext decoder chip to get the stock prices.
Used this for years ...
It could 'learn' commands too, a simple IR photo diode, limiter,
and digitized via 1 bit on the par port as fast as you could read it.
Still have the source I think, if anyone cares.
Somebody else also used that code IIRC.
Ah, the IR remote source is still in the xkrs archive on my site I see now:
http://ip51cf87c4.direct-adsl.nl/panteltje/xkrs/xkrs-1.1.tgz
in the file irremote.c.

Hi Lotfi,
yes it called OmniRemote but doesn't do RF, like Joerg mentionned.
But how does this remote then work with X10? Our X10 system can only be
controlled via RF transmitter or via something that directly plugs into
a power outlet. I am using both but have not heard of any other scheme
such as IR. Maybe I missed something?

The remote we got from X10 came with a package. It has IR for VCR, TV
and so on and in the lower part are the X10 buttons which activate an RF
transmitter in there. The antenna is hidden inside so it looks like an
ordinary remote.

Regards, Joerg

X-No-Archive: yes

Panasonic electronics in a Blaupunkt? Not something Blaupunkt would
like their customers to know...

That reminds me - several years back when I was visiting my friend
Willi in Frankfurt he gave a very nice "German" Telefunken Tape
recorder as a present to my children!

I lost no time in opening the case after I reached the hotel - it was
Sankyo and made in Japan.

To beat the cost of manufacture people once went to Japan and then to
Taiwan and when these places also became expensive they looked to
other places and are today with China - every stupid thing I see in
the market today is made in China.
