This is a 3 page journal of detailed notes I kept as I began learning how to program Pronto, using all the facilities Remote Central provides. The file was saved as plain text, since I don't have access to Adobe Acrobat writer.

Documentation on communicating with the Pronto. Also includes documentation on the RC5, RC5x, RC6 and RC6A protocols. The sample application uses the IRLEARN and IRSTART commands to communicate with the Pronto. It generates learned code data (from RC5/RC5X/RC6/RC6A). Includes source code in Delphi.

This archive includes a PDF datasheet of the IC used in many Grundig remotes. Describes the protocol and coding used. Also included is a Word document explaining how to interpret the Grundig's remote controls and program the Pronto. A macro is embedded in the document that will automatically generate the hex code for a given command.
