I have learnt the codes for the Soundgraph iMon remote control for HTPC control, which is mainly used with Media Portal (Home Theatre software). I also have TV and Foxtel channel icons (grouped) for direct channel access.

A complete system PCF file for the following components.

A full system PCF with some modified buttons and new graphics imported by me. Also the x-10 codes took ages to come up with using makehex. They now work well with the Marmitek IR7243. When I started this file there were no codes for the IR7243 - so I hope this helps. Some sections are borrowed from other people - thanks.

Activity based PCF with welcome screen, jumps to any activity from the current activity as well as jumps to full remotes for system setup etc. Complete help system to get the theater back in sync if a macro or other command leaves the system in a unknown state. The wife and guests love this - no more fiddling around just answer yes or no to the questions posed and the system corrects itself. Thanks to Archer and Daniel for most of the icons.

Activity based with custom screens and titles. Has "switch" pages to switch from one unit to another with one button press. There is a hidden "Steve's" page for more detailed control and access (to keep wife's fingers from causing server damage).

This is a complete design library that includes a PCF, a DOC containing design notes, along with Photoshop .psd files (and associated .png files) for all elements. The files are appropriately named and are organized in suitable sub-directories. The design objective is to provide an intuitive consistent remote control that looks like a high quality industry supplied device and can be used by anyone with minimal training and without reading glasses. This design is particularly effective in maintaining and restoring device synchronization. All buttons are realistically animated.

Here is my first attempt at making my own file. It is space based, I used Photoshop and Microsoft Photo Editor. I leaned on many files for ideas and guidance so thanks to all. Hope someone can enjoy!

I'm quite pleased with the outcome we acheived for our customer, who had just upgraded to the new Foxtel IQ2 HD receiver. Using a combination of old Pace commands and pasting HEX from our RTI library, we have acheived most commands for the Foxtel with no issues of multiple codes being sent. Sorry about the basic layout but we were trying to make an easy to use remote for the customer. Hope it helps!

Activity based PCF with graphics from Daniel Tonks and others. The brushed metal style lended itself well to this Harley themed layout. Easy to modify, and easy to use. Both child and wife tested.

This time around I wanted to keep it simple and clean looking. Most remotes I program are for systems utilizing Media Center computers so there is the ability to switch to MCE in every screen. Once designed in this simplified looking way though, my next challenge was to secure the program by adding in a combination lock function to get into the learning and set-up functions of the remote. If someone is to download this and try to access the programming mode of the remote, they would need to toggle the screens to the right until they get to a programming access screen and enter in the code of 2006 in the on-screen keypad. This then opens up the programming mode. Very simplistic, but it keeps a customer out of relearning a particular button on an individual screen. All button functions that the customers access reference buttons on programming/learning pages that are hidden, so that reprogramming is more simple. Enjoy! More to come....
