I think I have found what was causing the error. The RDF file for the Radio Shack 15-2102 is missing [DigitMaps] [Protocols] and [SetupCodes] sections. I copied these sections from the RDF for 15-2103 and it allows me to add the new soundbar device, and upload it to the remote without errors, but it ...

RMIR error when click NEW under devices

Trying to update some very old controls to add a new soundbar device. Was able to add it fine on URC-8011 and URC-6011 which I don't really use, but my wife's favorite is an old Radio Shack 15-2102. With the Radio Shack, I can download and upload and move keys around, but when I click new under the ...

For anyone contemplating using the Arduino serial to eeprom adapter code, I looked at it again and see why it is timing out on long eeprom reads. Reading from an I2C eeprom requires 3-4 bytes of setup and address. Kevin's original PIC code does sequential reads where this setup and address is sent ...

Here is link to the Arduino code.

Yes, it does make the Arduino act like the serial to eeprom adapter and was based on the original PIC code here. http://www.compendiumarcana.com/jp1epa/

Don't know if you are planning to just ...

Arduino interface - resolved problems with RMIR

I haven't used JP1 since the old parallel port days but recently needed to add a new device to an old URC-8810. No more parallel ports, but did have some Arduinos and found the code in the files section to turn them into an interface for the old eeprom based controls. Had a lot of problems, but ...

OK, I got it working, but had to modify the RDF file. I read the section in RDF3Spec.doc about checksum. The file 6_806_80 (URC-881x_801x_601x1k).rdf had a checksum section as follows:
[Checksums]
^$000:$002..$3FF

The raw data download always had FF in the last 3 locations, so I figured that ...

Thanks, that is what it says in the title bar after a download, so I think it is using the correct RDF file still gives the checksum warning and won't upload correctly.

Help! Checksum error when downloading, can't upload.

I am trying to use IR to program a URC-6011b00. I can download from and IR correctly identifies the remote, and all the keys and codes appear as they were programed on the remote keypad. However, IR reports a checksum warning on every download saying "Expected $73 $8C, but found $8C $73". If I ...
