- UR © 1991 by Greg Cunningham (Plink: BAUDMAN)
-
- UR is a replacement sampler/player for the Universal Remote by Jamie Mueller.
-
- This software is FREEWARE, do whatever you want with it.
-
- I found the other software to be too slow for my 68020. It would sometimes
- work with my VCR, but would never work with anything else.
-
- I've tested this software with the 68000, and it works fine with my stereo, VCR
- and everything else but the Mitsubishi video controller. It seems to use a
- really high frequency, but the 68020 handles it well.
-
- I put this hack together kinda quick, so it's not all that great.
-
- Sampling usage:
- UR SAMPLE <file> [file] [file] ...
-
- Playing usage
- UR <file> [file] [file] ...
-
- When playing, it will work with multi-selected icons and MS-DOS style pattern
- matching in any argument. If you enter a directory name it plays every file,
- sorta like LIST. Sorry, I just grabbed an old recursive/icon startup module.
-
- Example: to change the TV channel to 12 use: "UR 1 2" or "UR FH1:TV/1 FH1:TV/2"
-
- When sampling, give it all the filenames you want to sample to.
- Each name will be displayed. At that point press the desired button on the
- remote, and it will be sampled, compressed, and written to the file.
- It will display "sampled" if everything went well, or "failed" if it couldn't
- write to the file. To abort press the left mouse button.
-
- Example: "UR SAMPLE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Power QuickView VolUP VolDN Mute ChUP ChDN"
-
- These samples are normally around 40K-60K on the '020, and compress down to
- about 2K. I haven't tested it with a 68030, so it might be too fast and may
- complete before the remote is done. If so, try running NoFastMem or changing
- the program's code hunk to CHIP.
-
- This program disables multi-tasking and interrupts when waiting for the remote,
- sampling, and playing, so it could cause errors in a telecomm file transfer or
- if you sample to a harddisk or play files from the HD, but I haven't had any
- problems yet.
-
- Final notes:
- Many thanks to Jamie Mueller for his schematics and making this possible!
- Other than forgetting to connect the power and ground to both chips and
- and having to IR LED backwards, I've had lots of fun with this thing, and
- plan to have more.
-
- If you are planning to build this and forget to look at the specs for these
- chips, or can't get ahold of them, here's what's missing from the schematics.
-
- SA74LS245
- pin 20 = Vcc
- pin 10 = GND
-
- 7404
- pin 14 = Vcc
- pin 7 = GND
-
-
- and, if you can't figure out the LED, the anode (non-flat side) goes to power.
- The Radio Shack high output IR LED is backwards from normal LED's, or maybe
- I'm just nuts.
-
- One last note on sampling :-)
-
- I just need sample cuz noone says it's wrong.
- It's so easy to evolve using someone else's songs.
- Everybody wants to be a star in modern days,
- but if I don't have talent then I'll just get by this way.
