An apparatus and methods are provided for a universal transmitter. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting activation of at least one button of the universal transmitter, by a controller, for a predetermined time, outputting at least one set of signals to a first set of terminals of a switch of the universal transmitter, detecting output on a second set of terminals of the switch and determining position of a switch, by the controller, based, at least in part, on the output detected on the second set of terminals, wherein position of the switch relates to a transmission type. The method can further include detecting activation of a first button to be programmed and programming the first button based on the transmission type. |

1. A method for operation of a universal transmitter, the transmitter being configured to include a plurality of buttons, a controller, a rotary switch, the rotary switch having a first ring divided into a first plurality of groups of electrically connected segments and a second ring divided into a second plurality of groups of electrically connected segments, a first set of terminals, each terminal of the first set of terminals being coupled to the controller and a group of electrically connected segments of the first plurality of groups of electrically connected segments of the first ring, and a second set of terminals, each terminal of the second set of terminals being coupled to the controller and a group of electrically connected segments of the second plurality of groups of electrically connected segments of the second ring, the rotary switch being positionable in any one of a plurality of rotary positions, the number of plurality of rotary positions being more than the number of the first set and the second set of terminals, the method comprising the acts of:
detecting activation of at least one button of the universal transmitter, by the controller, for a predetermined time; identifying current rotary position of the rotary switch by:
outputting at least one set of signals to the first set of terminals of the rotary switch of the universal transmitter;detecting output on the second set of terminals of the rotary switch;determining the current rotary position of the rotary switch, by the controller, based, at least in part, on the output detected on the second set of terminals; detecting activation of a first button to be programmed; and programming said first button based on a transmission type assigned to the current rotary position. |
