I was searching for a generator of VPxx IR Codes and the Barry Gordon tool (you can find it here (http://www.anchorbaytech.com/docs/zip/VP30IRgen.zip)) doesn't works on Vista so I decided to create a new tool.

I have made a simple HTML page (containing javascript code) with a simple form where you just have to put the DVDO command and DVDO value (as described in this document (http://www.anchorbaytech.com/docs/pdf/GeneralVPxxIR-SerialControlDocument.pdf) from DVDO Automation site).

Then, pressing "create Pronto code", you'll get the HEX code for this command and value.

You'll find a list of all possible commands starting page 42 of the previous document.

For example, if you want to create an automation code to set Vertical PAN to 50, the command is 42 and the value is 50 (cf here (http://www.anchorbaytech.com/docs/pdf/GeneralVPxxIR-SerialControlDocument.pdf) page 43). Then you press "create Pronto code" and you'll get the following code :

0000 006c 0023 0000 0064 0064 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0044 0044 0016 0001

Just learn it in your remote and sending this code to your VPxx will automagically set it's vertical PAN to 50.

I don't have a DVDO product yet so I haven't tested it and there is no control on the content of the command and value fields.

"automagically" got a chuckle out of me, it would be "automiraculous" if it worked. Heck, I can't even get mine to work reliably sending it commands from the remote, let alone sending it learned serial commands from a Pronto remote that I can't get to work properly either! But I can't wait to try it on my 50Pro.
p.s. can you write an XCF or prontoscript module for ProntoPro users with VPxx's?? That would be awsome.

I took a look to Prontoscript but find no way to send IR hex code.

It's possible to set manually an ir hex code to a widget and then use pronto script to "execute" this widget, but is it possible to set this ir hex code to the widget programmatically ?
