R2 remote code capture?

vegastech · September 2010

Is it possible to track what rf code is being sent out from an r2? One died recently, and I didn't do the project. The client isn't interested in buying a new r2, they would like to use a spare mx900 they have laying around. I know the codes are in the database, but I was hoping I could watch something like netlinx diagnostics to see what ir or rf codes are being sent/received, so that I can duplicate them with the mx900. Is this possible?

The rf codes sent by the R2 are codes 1 through 256 (although it does not use them all). This is just like the R1, or a keypad. The mapping of the buttons is documented in the installation guide for the R units. That is, PLAY is button (code) 1 IF the source 1 register is active, 41 if the second, etc. Messy but documented.

You can also go into the R2 setup, and press 4. This turns on the channel debug. After than, the display will tell you which code is being sent.

That's exactly what I was looking for - thanks!
