Title: House code and unit code
Post by: steve on June 23, 2005, 12:38:28 AM

Hi

I need some clarification on house and unit
codes with respect to the USB receiver. What
I need to know is if I have two of the credit
card remotes and set each one to have the
same house code but a unique unit code, can
the SDK be used to trap which unit sent the
button press. I want to be able to do
something like map buttons 1 - 10 on the
credit card remote to numbers 1 - 10 and for
the second remote map it's numbers 1- 10 to
numbers 11 - 20.
can this be done?

regards

steve

The remotes can be set to house code and
unit code of the first row of buttons. That
is the row with the 1. Row 2 adds 1 to the
unit code same house code. Row 3 adds 2 to
the unit code same house code. Row 4 adds 3
to the unit code same house code. I believe
that if the addition goes over 16 it loops
back to 1.
Example Set to B1
Row 1 sends the B1 OFF and B1 ON
Row 2 sends the B2 OFF and B2 ON
Row 3 sends the B3 OFF and B3 ON
Row 4 sends the B4 OFF and B4 ON
Second remote B10
Row 1 Sends B10 OFF and B10 ON
Row 2 sends B11 OFF and B11 On
Row 3 sends B12 OFF and B12 ON
Row 4 Sends B13 OFF and B13 ON
I have never maped such things but maybe
this may start you on your quest.
