Joey Micro and Joey Lite are complete control packages. Both are capable of Infra Red and
RS232 control including macros and are 100% customisable, both graphically and functionally.

There are three steps to programming a Joey Micro or Lite:

1. Compile graphics

2. Add functionality

3. Print and download

To keep this manual as simple as possible, we will take a commonly used scenario – a projector
controller using a Joey Micro – and show how to build it step-by-step.

The Joey Micro will need to:

• Control Projector power and source selection between PC, DVD and VCR.

• Control audio volume, on either the projector or an AV receiver.

Step 1 - Assembling the graphics:

1) Open the Joey program and choose the device type.

2) Open an Explorer window (right click ‘Start’ and click ‘Explore’)

Navigate to your graphics library:

C:/Program Files/Command
Systems/Graphics Library/Joey
Micro_Lite

You should now have the Joey
program and an Explorer window
open together.

3) Navigate to landscape

backgrounds. Choose a suitable background and drag it onto the Joey screen.

4) Navigate to the button library. Drag in the desired buttons. It is possible to make multiple
selections by using the Ctrl key.

5) Buttons will snap into place if the ‘Snap’ feature has been activated.

6) Once in place, highlight each buttons and click ‘Btn’. This will automatically scale the

button to the correct size.

7) If you want your printed image to contain LED indicator circles, go into ‘Edit behaviour’
mode, double click the desired button and select ‘Print Circles’.

Step 2 - Adding functionality:

You will need to be in ‘Edit behaviour’ mode to add

functionality.

In steps 1 to 7 we will assign indicator LEDs to screens so as to

indicate the projector’s current operating mode.

In the steps that follow we will assign the actual
control codes.

1) Rename the 1

st

screen to ‘Main’ (or whatever

you feel is a suitable name for a first screen).

2) Double click the “PC” button. Click on ‘Go to
screen’.

3) Drop down box and select ‘Create new

screen’. Rename new screen “PC”.

4) Click ‘OK’.

5) Now click the PC button once. Note that the current screen is now on PC. While on this
screen, double click the PC button and change the LED state to ‘ON’.

6) Double click the System Off button. Click ‘Go to screen’. Select ‘Main’.

7) Repeat above steps to create the DVD and VCR screens.

To test your work, click on each button on the screen to verify that the indicator LEDs work the
way they should. Do not forget to add links from all buttons to all screens, as in (2) and (6)
above... so that all logical operations are possible and your user cannot get “stuck” in a screen

or mode with no way out.

The next step is to add the control codes to each screen. For this example, we want to be able to
change projector modes and control volume from any screen but only send a projector Power Off
from the main screen.

When adding codes to buttons, you simply need to add the codes for the buttons you would need
to press on the original remote controls to perform the necessary action. For example, when your
user presses the “VCR” button, the following codes should be sent:

Power On to the projector (do not use a Toggle Power command)
Power On to the VCR (if available)
Power On to the AV Receiver (if available)
Select VCR input on AV receiver (if used)
Select Video input on the projector

8) To add IR and RS232 codes and macros, double click the desired button, click ‘Add’, drop

down the box and select ‘Load New Codeset’.

9) Navigate to desired codeset(s) and add codes and waits as required.

Step 3 - Print and Download:

1) Click ‘File, Print Setup’ and select desired printer, paper size and layout.

2) Click Print. You may wish to preview prior to printing.

3) Note that more than one copy can be printed per page, simply select “many per page”

under print settings.

4) Ensure that you have saved your work!

5) Plug programming cable into PC and Click ‘Handset, Download’ or click the shortcut
download icon. (The Joey Micro must be powered to download.)

6) Click download to begin.

These instructions are intended to be as simple as possible. They do not cover the many
advanced features in the Joey software such as codeset find and replace, scale to screen etc., nor
the advanced device control strategies you may occasionally need when controlling projectors.
You can consult the Joey Programming manual for more information.

A comprehensive training course can be provided by Command Systems.
