Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Ah, I would love to do that! Unfortunately, the N900 can't actually see the TV (or whatever device you're pointing it at), so it has no idea whether or not a keyset has in fact triggered the device. :)

Actually, I was originally worried that the keysets would go by too quickly; my first interface only allowed you to step through the keysets one by one, rather than kick off a fast sequence and force you to hit the "pause" button as soon as something happens. In fact, those original controls are all still there; if you notice that a keyset worked, you can hit "pause", and then keep hitting the "prev set" button until you get back to the keyset that worked.

Also, you can hit the "edit keyset" button to make the keyset you've found a "favorite", and continue on with checking other keysets. So you don't really need to write down the name of the keyset when you find one. :)

Gonna buy an ac to test pierogi:)

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

I have installed the latest version, ran the automated keysearch and to my surprise my speakerset turns on and of when it switches to the Creative Speakers Keyset 1, however, when i set this as keyset to be used (with ´select keyset´ ) in the main interface the power button only works sometimes, switching devices in the keyset search is a little more reliable but not 100%. I have played a little with the carrier frequency and duty cycle but it doesnt seem to make a difference.
The device is a Cambridge Soundworks DTT 3500.
Is there anything I can try in settings or could you add support for this in a future releass?

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Hmm. That it works at all indicates that the numeric value being sent is correct, so I would think this would be a protocol problem. But all my sources for Cambridge/Creative speaker system config files seem to agree on the protocol, carrier frequency, and duty cycle values, and I seem to have all those set appropriately. (And, since you've already checked the frequency and duty cycle yourself, we can probably rule that factor out.)

Let me ask, is your copy of Pierogi having trouble with any other devices? (Assuming you have other devices with an IR interface.) Maybe something is causing it to act up...

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

No I don´t have any other infrared devices unfortunately. Strange thing is that switching on and off works better when switching sets in the search panel compared to the standby button in the normal panel.
After a phone reboot the normal button works 1 - 2 times then it only sometimes works.
I dont know what else might be interfering, I dont have lirc installed and running kp52, cssu-thumb and overclock (250 - 805).

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Ahh yeah, you're right. I forgot the ir was only one way. I can see this app actually getting bigger as time goes by given all the ir devices out there. I came across an infra-red controled table lamp today. Looking at the controller for it I could see that it had a "Brighter" & "Dimmer" button as well as on, off and strobe setting.
There was also an ir controlled coffee percolator and a damn ir beer dispenser.

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Hmm -- the search panel emulates an extremely quick press of a button, which means that most protocols won't get the chance to repeat a command. The protocol being used by Cambridge / Creative is the ever-popular "NEC"; that one does have two different mechanisms for repeating a command. I'm using the repeat mechanism that all my sources agree on, but my sources aren't the greatest. :)

One thing you could try is to see if pressing the power button _very_ quickly works better than pressing and holding it; if the repeat frames are the problem, fewer frames might mean less confusion.

Actually, let me throw together a quick update using the other repeat mechanism, and see if it helps...

I recently stumbled across an IR config file for some light-up Mickey Mouse Ears. (They synchronize with each other using IR, so at Disneyworld the proprietors can get everyone's ears to flash the same color together...) It's just amazing what folks are using IR for these days. :)

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Got it :)
Nope, still the same. I have switched back to default clockspeed profile but that didnt make any difference.
Switching between Creative Speakers Keyset 1 and Creative (experimental) works every time (on and off).

I have also now discovered that turning the screen off and on again (with the side switch) between button presses fixes the problem and makes it work (in both keysets).

Edit: The other buttons (mute,vol+,vol-,red,green,yellow,blue,input) also work (in both keysets):), but only once, ond once again after turning screen of and on again with side switch

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

Wow, that's interesting. Never heard of anything like that before. Hmm...

I guess it would have to be some sort of UI glitch, then. The button itself must not be triggering... When you press pierogi's "Power" button, does it always light up? If you keep it pressed, does it stay lit?

Also, since you've got both keysets, could you give the other keys a quick check? In particular, holding down either of the volume keys should continuously raise or lower the volume, but only in one of the two keysets. :) (Your speakers should only support one of the two repeat mechanisms.) Thanks!
