I'm working on a little program which can learn IR codes and perform some HTPC specific operations with it (something like Girder, but easier to use).

Now I want it to learn IR codes and store them in pronto format. This is easy with the learn function. However the receive callback always returns raw-format. Hence my question, how can I convert from a raw-format code to a pronto code, so I can compare the received code to my database of pronto codes?

Actually, the Receive Callback does *not* return a RAW code, but instead returns a 'UIR-style' compressed code. This is a hashed code which does not contain all of the needed info for transmission, but is suitable for an event.

So, if you want to learn a code for transmission, use the LearnIR and store the Pronto code. If you also must learn for event triggering, you'll simply want to write a learn routine that listens to the IR Receive callback and captures the 12-digit code.

Oops, I got RAW confused with the UIRT-style compressed code. :oops:

But still, isn't there any way to convert from the 12-digit code to other codes, such as pronto?

It makes more sense to me to store codes in a portable format such as the pronto format.

Kind regards,

You could theoreticall convert a Pronto code to a 12-digit code, but not vice-versa (simply because too much information is not present in a 12-digit code).

Ah I see,

Well, thx for the help Jon.
