JP1 Remotes

You said the driver you installed ( is it the FTDI driver?) makes the JP1.3 cable appear as COM3. That's all you need and is the port you should tell IR/RMIR to use for JP1.2/3

Thanks Greg for your input.

The driver I used was "JP1.2-1.3_USB_CABLE_DRIVER_INSTALLER" from diygadget downloads area ...

Think of it this way. You are using a JP1.3 cable to connect to a JP1 remote through a JP1.3 to JP1 adapter. IR and/or RMIR must use the JP1.3 interface to make this work. So it should be JP1.3 serial.

That makes sense, but is a Delcom driver needed? I downloaded those but it just has inf files ...

I know that the USB driver from diygadget.com works to make the USB port appear as COM3 so that makes me think IR would see it as a JP1 Serial on COM3, but it says remote has no power. I don't understand whether Delcom drivers are also needed or how it should appear...?

I've been searching for days now and can't seem to figure this out. I've programmed JP1 remotes for years but decided to upgrade my cable since parallel ports are hard to come by.

I bought a JP1.2/1.3 (FLASH) USB Cable and a JP1.2/1.3 to JP1 Adapter from diygadget thinking that I can use it for my ...

It looks like the protocol upgrade got truncated somehow, or you copied it before entering the PID and fixed data on the setup sheet.
I'll be damned...you're absolutely right! My final protocol code in KM matches what you showed in RM, but not what I put in IR. I pasted the corrected protocol code ...

Have you tried uaing the power key more than once?

Nope. I'll try it and see. I was afraid multiple keys would mess up those times when my macro *did* work...

THe other alternative is to use Device Combiner, which allows specifying a duration for each command.

Umm...that's what I'm trying to ...

You can then use this as on of the steps in your macro. You may have to use several of these in a row to obtain the necessary delay.

Maybe I wasn't clear on the problem I'm trying to solve...I'm not looking for a pause or delay between keypresses, I'm looking to "hold the power key down" and send ...

I have a URC-8910 using Extender 1. My Panasonic LCD TV (TV/250) seems to need a longer duration power key signal when it first starts up. It would power on if I physically push the power key when initially starting up, but not when I used the power key in a macro. I eventually determined that the ...

Thanks for the advice guys. I've actually had the remote for over a year already so doubt I would bother with trying to return it (secret society or not :) ). I'll give it a thorough check inside and if it still acts flaky then it's time for me to get a new remote (one that comes with pins already ...

This happens with all built in devices and an upgrade. My RCU810 doesn't have an LED so the only indication I have that it is sending anything is when the device responds. If I push and release the select key, nothing happens. If I push and hold it for 4-5 seconds, the device finally responds. When ...

I have an RCA RCU810 with a JP1 plug added and have been able to reprogram my keys just fine. I have some problems with keys that seem "sticky" and am wondering if others have experienced this. 3 or 4 keys (up/down/select/guide) appear to do nothing when pushed *unless* you hold the key for 4-5 ...
