Custom Remote Controls 1,2.

Into My Remote Control you can setup your TV or other device with IR codes.

Into edit text boxes at bottom side you can insert your device decimal IR codes pulses ( time frame strings ) to use with every command button.
For example : 38000,346,173,22,48,22,22,22,5000. The first number 38000 is the frequency 38KHz.
Then 346,173 are pulses ON(PWM),OFF(wait) the header/leader...48,22 (ON/OFF pulses) are the bit 1...22,22 (ON/OFF pulses) are the bit 0.
22,5000 (ON/OFF pulses) are the final pulses.
Every number is time space at usecs/26.
You can find IR codes pulses for many devices from this IR database .
You must register for an account and then login to find the IR codes of your device.
Copy the IR code from database and paste it in the command edit text box, remove the 1,1 and 1,1 ( look the example IR code... copy from number 38000 only the numbers,commas ) and press save.
Repeat for all commands (Power,Channel Up and Down,Volume Up and Down,....).
