Just to be clear, My observation that IR8 did not appear to detect my interface and select jp1.x 'automaticly 'is in no way a request for any changes to be made to IR8. Now I understand from mathdon what it's doing I'm quite happy.
I have posted up in the file section, my documented build of Tommy Tylers Discrete component version of a Serial interface for JP1.2/3 Flash Interface.
Ok thats fine. Now I understand I'm quite happy. You are quite correct in that once I have manualy told IR8 to use JP1.x it remebers that. I don't have JP1 USB it's grey'd out as you suspected.
Thanks for all your help to date. I will let you know how I get on with your extenders when I ...
:lol: No It must have been nearly 10 years ago I made a parallel JP1 cable for I think a OFA-7560. Long gone! so is the PC I used way back then! I have never used any USB or parallel lead to connect to a JP1 remote on this PC.
Is there a simple way of check If for some other reason I have ...
One question that still bugs me and part of the original reason for this post which you may be able to answer.
As I've made a JP1.2/3 Flash cable. And IR appears to detect it as such when connect to my PC. Why will it not comuncate with my 7781 remote until I manualy change IR8 to JP1.x ...
Yes your right! I must have had a duff JPG I cleaned out the images folder for RM install you IR8.0 versions and all ok. Yes RM is much better I have bulit my upgrade for the Yamaha Amp with no problems. So I don't think there are any problems with your files!
Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I have already got your A1&A2 extenders and intend to try them out. Need to get some basics sorted out first. So building upgrades for my kit (some of it a bit old now!) list below.
Ah! Using the correct RDF has solved my problems. I was thinking it could be the RDF as when I started the only one I could find (unextended) was bundelled in a zip file for Extender A1 for this remote. So im guessing it was out of date for IR8.
