ir problem

udi

I have a strange problem
I have an ir files in my project and when I am sending a command in one of the port iof the ni-3100, some of the commands are working and some don’t, they don’t sent to the device ( the led of the ir in the ni-3100 didn’t turn on ) but if I am doing a compile to the project and sending again the project to the ni-3100, the ir command that didn’t work are working but some of the commands that work in the first time don't work (don't turn the led on)
What can be the problem??? Maybe because I have more then 1 device in the ir port ( I have in port 1 of the ir for example a DVD, TV, media center)??
thanks for any help

So you made a single custom file for 3 devices? Are you sending the entire procject with the IR file mapped? If so try sending the IR file directly from IREdit to the correct port and actuate the channels from there and see what happens. Start from the beginning and step through the entire file and see if it stops at a certain point or if it's random.

If the IR channels work up to a certain point and nothing after that point you may have a corrupt IR channel. I remember a post from DHawthorne where one corrupt slot (in channel 40 if I correctly recall) basically made everything after that not work. I had a similar problem recently which led me to Dave's post which is why I rememebr it. I was modifying an exisiting IR file which I had never used before. I would learn new IR into empty slots but nothing would ever work. I then found Dave's post which made me decide to start with a known working IR file and learn the codes (I was just testing at that point anyway). I learned the IR channel as I had before but this time it worked. I can only assume that something before the channel I was learning was corrupt and nothing after that would work. Go figure! Starting with an empty or known working file might be a good idea. You can always test (actuate) them as you add them into your new file.
