JP1 Remotes

Okay, only difference I am seeing is that SelectiveSuspendEnabled is a REG_BINARY in my Registry and a REG_DWORD in the above, but they're both set to 0. That said, it's the only difference, so let's match it up and see what happens...

...yep, no love. Not surprised, but worth a shot.

As I said ...

Yeah, the official version I downloaded (linked from the Wiki I believe) was for PID_8002, so of course it didn't apply and I didn't think to munge it. I will check against this and make sure whatever keys in there are there. (Or I suppose I could just save it and apply it. )

There are two instances of that PID in my registry that also have an EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled key: one in ControlSet1 and one in CurrentControlSet. Both are set to 0.

There are no instances of VID_06E7 that are not also paired with PID_8004.

Should DeviceSelectiveSuspended be set to 1? Or ...

Yes, I'm on 2.12.15.

I was moving around USB ports while I was trying to figure out the issue, but I am settled on one now. So I did this:

1) Ran RMIR as admin.
2) Connected device, initiated download as soon as I heard the chime.
3) Went to Advanced > XSight Operations > Re-enable EPM, and did so ...

Okay! Now we're getting somewhere. I am finding though that I have to initiate the download with RMIR the SECOND it connects, and then it's good for the rest of the session, but if I connect it and let it hang out for more than five seconds, I get No Remotes Found. Kinda like jump-starting a car ...

It seems from what you say that you may have obtained a used remote and that the data in it is not yours. If so, I suggest doing a factory reset. The instructions for doing this are in our Wiki here .

Nono, I did ask it to, I just don't know why it worked THAT time as opposed to none of the ...

And now it's giving me "No remotes found!" again after having unplugged and replugged. Same cable, same USB port.

Hi!

I've been having a connections problems with this XSight Color I just got, and finally for reasons I still don't understand, it started a data download....and then errored at around 85%, and told me to do a raw download and post the results here. so 1) why is it finally downloading NOW and 2 ...

Replying because I have the same problem with my XSight Color. I got to the EPM screen and it says it disabled it, and indeed, when I wake the remote from the screen sleeping it does claim to be connected to usb (I was getting the 10-second drop before), but RMIR still gives me a No Remotes Found ...

Yep, I did follow, but I'm not interested in sticking another card in my case, so it's not a major deal. I was more curious to see if I could end-around on the adapter having found the original cable while still using USB. Sounds like the answer is no, and that's perfectly ok.

Got it. So I'd need to find a cable with a chipset known to support bit-banging (the FT245RL looks like it might?) and even then it's a crapshoot, it's not as easy as "emulate a parallel port through USB."

Okay, so dig this: turns out the cable DID make the move! It is in fact a DB25 cable (male connector, so yeah, likely parallel), and pins 6 and 7 are clipped off. (And for the life of me I don't remember why, if I simply bent them and they're not in use or if there was a reason, or what.)

So. If I ...

To use JP1 with an old JP1 remote, like the URC-6131, you need an FTDI cable, like the one you had ordered on Amazon or like this one which is $8.69 on eBay, and a JP1 adapter which is currently $17.99 (they were $9.99 last time I ordered one).

So you do need one of those adapters, gotcha. Sounds ...

It's better to ask us BEFORE you buy the wrong thing.

Well, I wasn't overly worried about having them since they are used with Arduinos as well, but I was able to cancel, so no harm no foul.

Is there a USB cable I *can* mod into a JP1, then?

(Or would I honestly be better off dropping $70 (or ...

Resurrecting a way old thread.....

I have a modded URC-6131 that back in the day I used to program with a serial JP1 cable. However, said cable didn't make it in my last move, and I have found the need to pick JP1 back up again. So time to modernize!

I order a couple of these:
