Thread: Pioneer steering remote with IRman question

Yeah I have the same problem. You can adjust the timeout of the UIR to 0.25 to ease the pain a tad, but it is really the lag of the IR bitstream getting decoded and sent down the comm port that costs the time, then you software has to decode it, and it all adds up to slow (unlike firmware players) action.

Try and fiddle with the timeout, but apart from that.... press press press press press.

thanks BJ. how do u adjust the timeout? i have my own software to use the IRman, is this timeout thing a hardware/software setting. since if its software its of little usage. oh well..... press press press press press it is....

hmm I think this is a remote control issue. Not the receiver. One of my remotes when I press a button and hold it down, only sends the signal once. While other remotes send it one after another... maybe im wrong.
I thought I'd share this since I used 2 diff remotes with same software/hardware settings.

the software timeout in VB or whatever you are using. The major hiccup is it can't decode it fast enough, so it doesn't matter if ur remote pulse streams or not (well that's what I found anyway).
