JP1 Remotes

You're probably thinking about modifying the /etc/remote.conf file, which controls the IR receiver on AMLogic boards. I don't think this is possible with the MiBox, even though it uses the same SoC as the cheaper Android STBs and sticks.

First of all, gaining root on MiBox is not that easy. It ...

Huh. Didn't occur to me that was possible.

Hi yaworski :)

I like the shrink tubing over the emitters. I think I've got some big enough for that.

Thanks for the MiBox programming info!

Re: The protocol: Hmmm... Well, maybe there's hope, yet, then. Maybe the GE/Jasco is doing something weird that's confusing the MX-500, and what I can do ...

You can look at this project by user Barf, http://www.harctoolbox.org/arduino_nano.html, if you are handy with a soldering iron.
Thanks, binky. I'd spotted that, already, and had already looked at knock-off Arduino Nano boards on Amazon.

Looks like it'd be inexpensive and fairly easy to get going ...

Question to all: Does the collected wisdom here have a preference for an IR sensor to use with irScrutinizer? (Thinking the irToy looks like the better bet? Though it appears to be out of stock everywhere, so I guess that's a non-starter for the moment.)

So I wasn't imagining it. Ok, then: The $15 OARUSB04G it'll be, then.

Unfortunately for you, our Xiaomi codes are identical to the original. So if you can't learn the original, you can't learn ours either.
I know it's a long shot.

If I try it, and it fails, I've always got the Flirc as a backup.

If all you want to do is experiment teaching/learning codes, then ...

It's all good.

Xsight/Nevo doesn't use a JP1.x cable at all, rather just a standard USB Mini-B which is included with the remote. Works fine on Linux (as far as I know), ...
Ok. Thanks!


Also let us know how you intend to use the remote. Nevo can do many things, but it can't do everything some ...

Thanks for the follow-ups, guys!

I contacted the seller and she graciously cancelled my order, so that's fixed.

I apologize if my post from last night came across as kind of frustrated and annoyed. I tried to keep that out, but, I see, wasn't entirely successful :oops: (Yeah, I was frustrated and ...

Hi All,

New to the JP1 thing and the forum.

Finally decided to get serious about "remote hacking" and jump into the JP1 thing. Searched. Read. Kept seeing references to the URC-9910. Jumped on eBay. Found a like-new URC-9910 for $25, located nearby. One photo even showed the JP1 connector. Jackpot ...
