Method and Apparatus Regarding a Movable Barrier Operator Remote Control Transmitter Kit

A movable barrier operator remote control transmitter kit for use with a movable barrier operator that uses a particular remote control instruction signal protocol, comprising:

• a movable barrier operator remote control transmitter comprising:
• a dynamically configurable remote control instruction signal transmitter;
• a user input;
• a memory having stored therein a plurality of different remote control instruction signal protocols as correspond to a plurality of different movable barrier operators;
• a controller operably coupled to the dynamically configurable remote control instruction signal transmitter, the user input, and the memory, and being configured and arranged to:
• during a user selectable learning mode of operation:
• automatically at least beginning to incrementally dynamically configure the dynamically configurable remote control instruction signal transmitter using a next one of the plurality of different remote control instruction signal protocols with each user assertion of the user input to thereby provide a test configured transmitter;
• causing the test configured transmitter to transmit a test transmission to thereby permit the user to ascertain whether a corresponding movable barrier operator responds positively to the test configured transmitter;
• and
• a user discernable listing of the plurality of different remote control instruction signal protocols that presents the plurality of different remote control instruction signal protocols in an order that matches a sequential order by which the controller will incrementally dynamically configure the dynamically configurable remote control instruction signal transmitter during the learning mode of operation.
