INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your SpitFIRE Serial Port Infrared Remote Control.

The Innotech Systems’ SpitFIRE turns an ordinary PC into a powerful state-of-the-art home entertainment
control system!

The SpitFIRE controls all popular entertainment devices directly from a PC. The SpitFIRE converts data
from your computer’s serial or USB port into infrared remote control signals.

The Innotech Systems SpitFIRE III turns an ordinary PC into a powerful State-of-the-art entertainment
control system! The SpitFIRE III controls IR remote control compatible entertainment devices directly from
a PC.

The SpitFIRE III Learning SpitFIRE includes a built-in library of entertainment remote control codes that
covers a wide variety of consumer products. In addition, the SpitFIRE III can learn new IR codes so that
your control system is never out-dated. The learned codes can be added to an entertainment device that
already exists in the library or it can add completely new devices to the library. Learned codes are stored in
non-volatile memory for permanent storage, even with the power removed.

The SpitFIRE III includes a convenient front panel mounted infrared diode and two (3.5mm) jacks which
permit the use of mini stick-on IR emitters for maximum flexibility.

Front panel status light provides feedback for programming the SpitFIRE. Status information is also sent
back to the PC via the serial or USB connection.

The small (3¼" x 5¼") SpitFIRE may be situated behind or near the PC, and is connected via a
conventional serial cable or USB to the PC. The SpitFIRE is controlled via a standard serial interface. The
host PC controls the SpitFIRE by sending simulated button presses. The SpitFIRE will respond by returning
status information for every command.

The SpitFIRE includes sample Visual Basic application software. The software displays a “virtual” remote
control on screen and responds to “virtual button presses” to illustrate the operation of the device and for
you to use as the basis for your own software applications.

Installing SpitFIRE USB Drivers

Windows XP, Windows 98 drivers and instillation guides are supplied on the Spitfire software and
documentation CD. For all other drivers http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Developers-Note1: The USB drivers act as virtual COM-ports, this means that they look and act as COM­ports to the end user and to the supplied software. If you are a developer of software, this is not the only
way to access the spitfire. This virtual comport method was chosen to maintain backwards compatibility
with previous versions of the Spitfire. All the drivers can be found at…

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm D2XX drivers allow direct access to the USB device

through a DLL. Application software can access the USB device through a series of DLL function
calls.

Installing SpitFIRE On-Screen Control Software

1. It is recommended that you close all running software applications before you install the SpitFIRE On-

Screen Control Software.

2. Insert the provided spitfire installation and documentation CD into your CD disk drive.

3. To install, go to the installation directory and run SETUP.EXE

(drive):\Installation\SETUP.EXE.

4. Follow the setup prompts as they appear on your screen. The installation program will default to

installing the software in C:\Program files\Spitfire. You may change this to another directory if you wish.

5. Connect the SpitFIRE to the desired USB or COM port.

6. To begin using on-screen control click on the SpitFIRE icon in the Start menu.

SpitfireIII.LNK

In order for the PC to communicate with the SpitFIRE, the communication
settings must be properly set. The remote control application software can
auto-detect the proper communication port and settings.

If the auto-detect method does not work and you know the COM port number,
then you can manually select the COM port using Com-1 to Com-6. The USB
drivers are designed to act as virtual serial ports and they will appear to the PC
and the user as a regular com port.

The auto-detect feature will attempt to find the correct com port or virtual com port by searching for the
connected spitfire one port at a time COM 10, 9, 8, 7... If multiple spitfires are connected to the PC then
auto-detect will find them in descending number order.

Version 1.0 Preliminary 5

Using the SpitFIRE virtual remote control application

The remote control application software, will display an image of a remote control.
Clicking on any button with the mouse will press that button. The Spitfire comes
preprogrammed to control a typical Sony TV. The CBL/SAT, DVD, VCR, AUD,
and AUX slots are empty. The on-screen LED will flash appropriately and a status
box will interpret and display messages received back from the SpitFIRE.

Customizing the Display

The appearance of the remote control is determined by the file buttons.txt, which
is installed in the SpitFIRE directory. During startup, the program reads the
contents of buttons.txt. This file contains information about the button label, button
scancode, and appearance of each button on the remote. Buttons.txt can be
modified with any text editor, so the user can customize the look and function of
the remote to suit their needs.

Buttons.txt is organized into 64 text lines, for each of 64 possible buttons, starting
from the top left of the remote and reading across. Each line consists of 3 fields
separated by commas.

1. Field one is the button label which appears as text on the button.

2. Field two is the 1-byte scancode, The scancode represents a specific button
in the IR library. (see the button mapping table)

3. Field three is a visibility tag, either 1 (visible) or 0 (invisible) allowing
unused buttons may be hidden.

The included "buttons.bak" file can be renamed to "buttons.txt" to show all

the buttons available on the remote. However, depending on the device being controlled, not all buttons
may be functional.

Developers-Note2:

Communications between the SpitFIRE and the program is simple. When the user presses a button

on screen, the program first finds that button’s associated scancode from an array. This array is
constructed at startup as the program reads the contents of the "buttons.txt" file. Each scancode is
represented by an integer. The program then converts that integer to a byte, sets the button down bit,(data
bit 7) and sends that to the SpitFIRE hardware through the serial port.

The ActiveX control MSComm is used, making it easy to write routines that transmit data to and

from the serial ports. The SpitFIRE communicates at 2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. After the
SpitFIRE hardware receives a scancode from the serial port, it returns a status byte. The program receives
and acts based upon the type of status byte, which may indicate the number of times to flash the visible
LED, the success or failure of a programming operation, etc. This is accomplished through IF-ELSE and
CASE statements. As the source code demonstrates, Visual Basic's tools simplify the task of writing fully
functional programs to control the SpitFIRE. Feel free to examine the included source files for Visual Basic

5.0:
CONTROL.BAS, CONTROL.FRM, CONTROL.FRX, CONTROL.VBP, CONTROL.VBW
To load the entire project into Visual Basic, open the “SpitFIRE control.vbp” file.

Version 1.0 Preliminary 6

VIRTUAL BUTTON MAPPING

Developers-Note3: The Most Significant Bit (data bit 7) is functionally defined as the button press

bit and is set by the VRC prior to transmission of the scancode to the spitfire. To avoid any

confusion this table along with the buttons.txt and ISI###.dat files all do not have the MSB set, but
when the code is transmitted the MSB is always set. If you do not set the MSB the spitfire will not
respond to the command or will misinterpret the command.

OPERATING YOUR SPITFIRE

Programming the Spitfire

Many of the Spitfire parameters can be setup using the following model..

Host sends one of the 6 slot commands to the Spitfire (TV, DVD CBL/SAT, AUDIO, VCR, AUX)
Receive 1 LED flash status. This marks the slot as active until changed.
Host sends the PROGRAM command
Receive 2 LED flashes status response
Host sends 1 numeric digit to set some user preference.

-or- send 2 digits to prepare to do a brand auto-search.

-or- send 3 digits to program a device from the internal library.

-or- send 4 digits to program a device from the extended (downloadable) library

Receive 1 LED flash for each digit
Host sends PROGRAM (or SEARCH) to complete to operation.
Response varies depending on the operation.

Slots

Before the Spitfire can transmit an IR signal, one or more devices must be programmed from the
library database or one or more buttons must be learned. The Spitfire is a 6-in-1 remote control
meaning that 6 independent slots can be setup. These 6 slots can be programmed for any
combination of device category. The 6 default categories are AUX, TV, VCR, DVD, AUD, and
CBL/SAT, however there is no restriction on what device category gets programmed into what
slot. For example all 6 slots can be programmed to be a different TV and the name displayed on
the virtual remote can be changed by editing the buttons.txt file.

Programming a slot from the library

Slots are programmed either by directly entering a 3 or 4 digit device code for a selected slot or
by using one of the auto-search modes. 3 digit device codes are built into the Spitfire. 4 digit
device codes are for extra devices that can be uploaded into the extended non-volatile memory.

Direct Device Code Programming

Like any universal remote control, the SpitFIRE can be programmed by directly entering a
3 or 4 digit device code from the device list. The button sequence to program a slot from the
device list is as follows….

Button Host sends

MSB set

Send one of the six slot buttons C1h – C6h 1 indicator LED flash A1h
Send PROGRAM C0h 2 LED flashes A2h
Send #0 - #9 hundreds digit of device

80h – 89h 1 LED flash A1h
code
Send #0 - #9 tens digit of device code 80h – 89h 1 LED flash A1h
Send #0 - #9 ones digit of device code 80h – 89h 1 LED flash A1h
Send PROGRAM C0h 3 LED flashes if device

Status returned Spitfire sends

Button Host sends

MSB set

Prog C0h 2 LED flashes Flash 2 A2h
1 81h 1 LED flash Flash 1 A1h
2 82h 1 LED flash Flash 1 A1h
2 82h 1 LED flash Flash 1 A1h
Prog C0h 3 LED flashes. If code exists Flash 3 A3h

Transmitting IR codes from the library

Once a slot is programmed, the appropriate IR code is transmitted by
“pressing” any virtual button that is implemented for the device that
was programmed. The IR code will be transmitted a minimum of 3
times. This default repeat count can be adjusted by sending an
IR_repeat_N command with the MSB set (Dh – D7h). The repeat
transmit count is one of the features that you should keep in mind
when assigning macros. If the device works when you are in
continuous transmission mode but does not work when you assign a
macro simply increase the transmission repeat counter.
The Spitfire defaults to Continuous Transmit mode. In this mode the
Request-To-Send (RTS) signal is lowered for as long as a button is
held down. In response the IR code will repeat as long as the
“button” is held unless the code is designated as a non-repeat type or
until it is transmitted 256 times.

Punch-Through

Library devices generally implement some subset of all the possible
buttons that exist. For example it is unlikely that a TV in the library
will implement the PLAY button (unless it’s a combo). If a button
is not implemented, the Spitfire will check the other slots for
programmed devices that have the requested button implemented in
a logical order depending on the class of button. Punch-Through can
be handy for most remote control operation however there may be
applications where punch-through is not desired. Punch-Through
mode can be turned on or off by sending the PunchOn or PunchOff
commands.

Smart Source (patented)

The Spitfire can be programmed to pre-select specific slots when certain classes of buttons are
transmitted. Button classes are defined in the following table.

Class Buttons

POWER POWER, PWR_OFF, SLEEP
VOLUME VOL+, VOL-, MUTE
CHANNEL 0-9, Enter, CH+, CH-, PREVIOUS
TRANSPORT PLAY, STOP, FF, REW, PAUSE, RECORD
SETUP UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, MENU, EXIT, GUIDE, DISPLAY
PIP INPUT, PIP, PIP swap PIP Ch+ PIP Ch- PIP move

To setup smart source send the following button sequence for each class that you want to
program.

Button Status

returned

Send one of the six slot buttons TV, DVD, etc) Flash 1
Send PROGRAM Flash 2
Send any button from the desired class Flash 3

NOTE: To program the channel class you cannot use the numbers (0-9) because they are used for
device setup. Instead use another button from the channel class such as CH+. Programming a
class automatically enables smart-source mode. Smart source can be temporarily disabled by
sending the SMART button.

Smart Source can be handy for most remote control operation
however there may be applications where Smart Source is not
desired. Smart Source mode can be turned on or off by sending
the SmartOn or SmartOff commands.

Function Status response

Enable Smart Source Flash 2
Disable Smart Source Flash 1

Smart-Source example:

• If you want the TV to turn on and off when the POWER

button is sent, independent of what slot was selected
previously, you send; TV PROG POWER.

• If you want to select the TV whenever you adjust the

volume. Send TV PROG VOL+

• If you want to select your cable box whenever you change

the channel. Send CBL PROG CH+

• To automatically select the DVD slot whenever you send a transport button, Send DVD

PROG PLAY.

Once smart source is setup, you may never need to send a slot button. However there are times
when you may need to circumvent the automatic slot selection that smart source provides. For
example, if you need to control the channel function on your VCR but smart-source forces the

Version 1.0 Preliminary 11

channel button to control your cable box, you can temporarily disable smart-source. When smart
source is turned off, you can use the slot buttons to determine what device the numbers control.
Once the VCR is set to the proper channel, you can turn smart source back on and resume the
automatic slot selection you programmed.

Auto-Search

Auto-Search mode causes the Spitfire to transmit a button from each device in the library, wait 3
seconds, and then move to the next device until told to stop. There are two auto-search modes in
the Spitfire, Category and Brand Auto-search.

Category auto-search will search through an entire category (TV, DVD, VCR, etc) of devices
from the database. The currently active slot determines the category of the search. For example,
selecting the TV slot will only search for TVs. Selecting the AUX slot will search through the
entire library without regard to category. The button sequence to start a category auto-search is...

Function Status returned

Send a Slot button Flash 1
Send PROGRAM Flash 2
Send SEARCH AutoSearch

The Spitfire will start its search from the currently programmed device code in the currently
active slot. It will transmit the POWER button, and then pause 3 seconds to give the user time to
respond. Before each IR message is sent, the IC8205A returns an IR Xmit Start status byte.
When the IR transmission is done, it sends a IR Xmit Complete status byte.

The Spitfire will stop searching when one of the following happens:

Function Status returned

Send PROGRAM code
Code is saved in the currently active slot

Flash 3

Version 1.0 Preliminary 12

Brand Auto-Search

The Spitfire can filter its auto-search by category and brand. For example, it can be told to search
only for Sony TVs. This reduces the time it takes to find the desired code. To start a brand
search the following button sequence is sent…

Function Status returned

Send a Slot button 1 indicator LED flash
Send PROGRAM 2 LED flashes
Send brand code tens digit 1 LED flash
Send brand code ones digit 1 LED flash
Send SEARCH AutoSearch

See the brand code list in appendix B.

Brand auto-search is stopped the same way as the category auto-search. Send the PROGRAM
button or one of the 6 slot buttons to save the code, or any other button to abort.

Learning from another remote

The Spitfire can learn IR codes from other remote controls. These learned codes can be
programmed on existing buttons or they can be learned onto unused buttons. If a learned code is
programmed on top of an existing library button, the learned code has precedence. Up to 112
learned codes can be programmed into the Spitfire distributed in any way amongst the 6 source
slots. Note that re-programming a device from the library will erase all the learned codes for that
device slot. The button sequence to learn an IR code is..
