Hi Holger,
thanks for your answer. I was hoping that the exchange of one
byte in the firmware already could do the trick.
Taking the poor documentation into account as well as the
fact that I've written my last line of C-coding appr. 5 years
ago, I will better switch back to LIRC then ;-)
Thanks anyway and best regards
- Uwe
