JP1 Remotes

You don't say what version of Java you are using. My guess is that you are using 64-bit Java. The Delcom driver only works with 32-bit Java. For 64-bit Java you need this WinUSB driver .

Thanks Mathdon. I did fail to mention the drivers. The package that you linked to was the package that I had ...

Bought several RS 2117s back in the day when they were giving them away at RS for $10 a piece. Anyway, I went to change the batteries on the remote earlier and when I hooked up the JP1 cable to upload my IR file I kept getting a "No Remotes Found" error.

I'm running RemoteMaster v2.04 build 14 on ...

First thanks to those who responded.

See the FAQ in the Getting started with Xsight in the wiki.

Thanks for that heads up. I missed that and it really helped a lot in understanding the potential of the C2.

Having said that, the Nevo is very powerful and others here are using it and love it ...

Basically I discovered this community back in 2003 or 2004. I loved the concept and went in with a 15-2116. I loved that remote so much that, and some may remember this, when RS was literally giving the 2117's away in bins, I grabbed about 9 of them locally often for as little as $10 a pop.

A ...

Lurker, if you insist on trying to open the connector, you might want to review Tommy Tyler's guide on How to remove and replace an IDC connector . But as wnewell says, they are very easy to break so you might want to just go ahead and buy a new one (or three).

Thanks, I went ahead and just ...

Small srewdriver, pocket knfe, prying the catch on each side.

What do you use the screwgie for?

Also is this model of IDC connector one that you pry open? It looks like the tabs connected to the strain relief that go into the IDC are meant to be pushed inward (then I assume slid out)?

Finally ...

If you're careful, you may be able to remove it by prying it apart. I've done it with success several times and I've also broken them several times. I'd buy a new one and have it handy just in case.

How did you go about prying it apart. Secondly, in the event that I break it where I can pick up a ...

Before you take your cable apart, make sure you have fresh batteries in the remote. I recently was convinced my cable was broken, and it turned out that the batteries were just too weak to power the download, even though the remote still worked.

Nah, the batteries are good its the frayed cable. I ...

Recently I've been getting a 'SDA Being held low' (make sure there are batteries in the remote) error with my USB cable. Recently the cable worked but it had to be placed just right. Now it won't work at all. In looking at the cable I'm 99% sure that the problem is being caused by frayed wires where ...

I'd be highly interested in picking up one of the jp1 USB models

[Update] - Remote has been sold.

I've got a ton of JP1 remotes already and I'm looking to downsize to free up some space. I was going to throw this on ebay but I figured I'd offer it to the JP1 community first.

I've got a 1994 in excellent physical and cosmetic condition (picture below). I ...

Do you have any other devices that would make better button-sharing partners?

No. I've tried the methods here mentioned and while they work I was looking to get fancy and see if I could just set the shift key (like you can do on the 1995).

Thanks anyway.

I've checked the archives and haven't been able to piece together the correct solution.

I'm using the RS 2117 with extender/2.

On my CD button I have a Panasonic combo DVD/VCR player device upgrade. Due to the lack of keys on the 2117 I've shited all the DVD commands functions on the upgrade ...

Are the 15-1994 & 15-1995 the only two RS (JP1) remotes with their own internal timer for devices without a sleep function of their own?

See I've been desperately looking for a 1994 thinking it's the only RS Jp1 remote with a built in timer for devices w/o a sleep function.

Methinks I may have ...

Granted not as sweet as $15 for a 2117 which RS had about a year ago. But it's a good deal considering that they are still selling in stores for 29.99 + tax.
