Hi Monkey,

It sounds like just the MCE commands aren't processing right?  Do you have Vista?  If so you should enable the MCE Vista app, and disable the default MCE app.  Otherwise, if you don't have Vista, are the commands you see coming in on address P2?  If not, you'll need to change (or remove) the Address setting for MCE and your other apps. 

Good luck and welcome to X10Commander!

Hi, cheers for getting back to me and the welcome.

I should have given more details sorry,

I am running MCE 2005 (I do not own anything powerful enough to run Vista) and I am using the 1st ATI RW. When I look at the log it picks up the signal from the remote and identifies it right but says 'no' to the command processed and also in the nect couple of columns it doesnt identify a command or an application. It is set to P2 on the applications list.

 

I have tried only global and mce enabled and global and media player and all three but no luck. The global work fine but X10 commander doesnt seem to want to process the commands to media centre or WMP.....

ahhhh you legend - I didnt see the channel on the log as I am using 7" VGA touch screens and didnt scroll across. The commands where coming in on P1 so I just changed the MCE to P1 - using your text input :) and restarted it and mce and it all seems to work spot on now (although the power wont work but I will take a look at why and I am not too bothered as I am fitting hardware buttons to the bedside table and PC enclosure in the living room to instigate hibernation and wake it up.

Just a quick one...my setup is being very much done on a budget but I have two 7" 16x9 VGA touch screens that I was given for helping someone. We use them in CarPCs and I have one next to the sofa and one in the bedroom. As I have no keyboard (have my eye on the Trust MCE one as it is RF) I had no real way to input text and doing the MCE search was impossible - i thought you could press the numbers/letters on the keypad picture below the box but nope :( so I dug out the remote and then found it wouldnt work and then was about to attempt to write something with that keymaster/factory and then saw you app and it is perfect!

Thanks again

Great, glad it worked out!  Also, in case you didn't already know you can turn on\off "triple tap" mode with the little check box button next to the 0 (at least on my RW remote).  This enables phone style text entry - works pretty good for searching, etc.

yeah i found that out by pressing all the buttons trying to get it to work then found it in the help file :D

 

thanks again - gonna have a look around for more cool stuff and tips on here now. great forum

So I got this software installed. I got a MCE keyboard and several X10 devices. I got the X10 IR controllers (which I use my Harmony remote to comunicate with). Using Windows XP SP2 (no MCE O/S installed).

Now how can I found out what buttons on my MCE keyboard set my X10 devices ON/OFF (what should I press on the keyboard?!?!). I can't figure it out :)

IM using XP with this software, and i cant make make my own macros. and a keymap for the remote wonder plus would be nice, cuz im a newbie and i dont konw what about half of the keywords mean. a valume control would be nice, but the keymap would be better email me at nihu_95@yahoo.com

Apologies for not providing feedback before now but have only just upgraded to 1.3.1 and wow – really cool! Excellent work!

Like the TTKey feature and has almost made my wireless keyboard redundant ;)

 

Copied over the ‘old’ Global and MCE05 xml files and was able to keep all my previous settings, just needed to add the TTKeys.

 

Can’t read the helpme file at the moment so sorry if this has already been covered: I notice the ‘1’ key doesn’t have a TTKey function, this would be nice to include the MC2005 search keypad ‘1’ 3 characters as follows: <@> and <‘> and <.>.

I have made the MouseRight to also be CAPITAL (Caps Lock) which is really neat and allows changing the case by just tapping  the mouse wheel.

 

Many thanks for your hard work!

A lot of thanks for your time. Although I haven't been able to take a close look to the whole app, seems this is the one I've been looking for.

May I make you a suggestion? the next thing you could improve is the GUI. Let me give you an example:

http://zoomoutktv.sourceforge.net/paz/PCTVRemote.htm  (in French)

The PCTV remote was easily customizable through a *.ini file. But programs such as this one (or your X10Commander) make the task much easier... A small Change in the  interface would make x10commander even better.

Again, Thanx for this Application; great job.

Nice and (it's important!) good working program. Thanks!

But I have problem now. I need to control two PC's; one have a MR26A (serial port receiver) connected, other - CM19A (USB Firecracker). But both PC's now reacting to remotes (PC's located one in bedroom, other in living room, not so far), it's so boring :-( May be anybody know how to setup MR26A with one remote or CM19A  with another remote to use different channel / RF frequency? Some software or hardware "hacks"?

Can't find any info on X10 site; they provide much more commercial ads instead of important technical information :-(

If anybody else out there is using the Remote Wonder Plus and experience RF interference problems that are limiting range and causing the remote to miss some of the buttons being pressed, try checking if your USB power is to blame.  I was having a lot of interference problems at more than 2 feet away when the receiver was plugged into the front panel USB ports.  The back panel ports connected directly to the motherboard worked much better.  A powered USB hub extended my range even further by provided an independent clean power supply to the RF receiver.

I believe the long wires routed through the case to the front panel USB ports were picking up a lot of noise and causing my problems.  If you have good RF signal, you should be able to turn on logging in X10Commander and hold down one of the mouse movement buttons and get an uninterrupted increasing number in the KeyData column as long as you hold the button.
