StreamZap receiver with other remotes?

[kiwin]

Is it possible to use the StreamZap USB receiver with remotes other than the StreamZap? I looked in the __init__.py and it seems the StreamZap remote uses the RC5 protocol. Is it possible to use the Panasonic protocol? Is there any documentation on irdata.dll?

The receiver can receive other protocols, but since its sample time is relative high, not all protocols will work good. Panasonic might be to fast, but you can try if you get stable events.

The API doesn't offer more than what is used in the code:

Code: Select all

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) BOOL sz_Open(void);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) BOOL sz_Close(void);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) BOOL sz_ReadFile(BYTE *pData, LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void sz_Flush(void);

Thanks for the prompt reply.

When I try the Panasonic remote, EG show: Streamzap.UE000000000000000000000000
Should I try modifying: SAMPLE_TIME = 0.000256
RC5 uses MSB-C while Panasonic uses LSB-C style, can that changed in the code?
Ie, are there other parameters to MyDecoder?
Where are the mapTable RC5_xxxx values defined? _hashlib.pyd?

thanks, kiwin

Then the protocol is to fast for the receiver. You can't change the SAMPLE_TIME. It is fixed by the hardware.
