I can try
If you can tell me the 7 bit command that's being sent, it would help a lot
The infrared LED on the M5StickC isn't as powerful as a remote with a large LED. Please keep that in mind.
I tried all 127 possible commands, none of them reset the time code, tested on my A1 and A6600
I have the remote around here somewhere; how would I be able to capture the IR command?
I actually did some looking around multiple IR code databases and didn't find anything for this remote, I didn't want this information to be lost forever so I actually obtained one myself and already finished reverse engineering it.
The IR codes I have put inside https://github.com/frank26080115/alpha-fairy/blob/main/arduino_workspace/libraries/SonyCameraInfraredRemote/SonyCameraInfraredRemote.h
For anybody visiting this page via search engine, the code is #define IR_CMD_RMT845_TCRESET 0x3D7D // 20 bits, repeat 5 times
Version 1.0.10 of Alpha-Fairy has a new menu item added to send the timecode reset command. Please update both the firmware and the image file data.
documentation and instructions have been updated to include this feature
please test and report back if it works with your camera, then I'll close it
I tested on my A1 and it worked
This is fantastic, thank you so much! My M5StickC PLUS is still in the mail; can't wait to try it out!
There's one specific Sony IR remote control that includes a "timecode reset" button, which you can use in a multi-cam setup to simultaneously reset all of the Sony cameras to the same timecode, synchronizing them. Here's a video. I believe this would be a great addition to Alpha Fairy, and would also help people get this functionality long after Sony stops manufacturing RMT-845 remotes!
