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….
