Hmm I had no problems using the rotate actions. As Richard describes it in this forum post it takes about 90 degrees and no other actions to recognize the rotation.

I just kept my finger on the tip while picking it up

Ah, and perhaps put such requests into the forum where they can be more easily be followed, searched and answered

Happy casting

Michael

Practice mode is only available if there is no learned command for the gesture. So its meant to be used before starting to teach the wand.

There is a means to get rid of all commands as mentioned in the manual (do a big swish instead of teaching an IR command) – never tried that myself.

right, all the gestures that have no learned code pulse happily

Michael

How do you tell?
You can reset it easily by going into learning mode, then doing one gesture and when it starts pulsing rapidly just do a big swish, then there should be a big pulse and all programmed codes should be gone.

Hope that helps, if not drop me an email

Michael

Try the gestures in practice mode first. Perform all the gestures with minimal movements no big whirling around. Try to master the simple gestures first. You can also drop us an email or we’ll try this via skype.

Tom,

It has to recognize your input from your remote with a stronger buzz. The small buzzes just count the gesture number.

I assume that indadvertedly the wrong code was programmed to the gesture.

If I read your comment correctly you tried the twist and the tap commands for channel changing?

A few devices have problems with the pulses coming from the wand, as they work on alternating signals. For those it has been helpful to use the “secret” multi-command feature of the wand. You can put more than one command on one gesture if you press the buttons in quick succession while programming. That can be used to put the channel changing and one other (doing nothing) button on a single wand gesture.

Hope that helps

What TV-Set do you have? It might be that your normal TV-Remote sends multiple/different signals per on/off button press that have to be captured.
