JP1 Remotes

Sorry The Robman. I repeat that it is labelled 'jp1-4' not jp1.4. I have not heard of the URC-713x series being jp1.4. It is about 3 years old, could it be?

Thanks Graham. Let me deal with your points.
1. Scan Codes are what the keyboard sends to the PC and is interpreted by the PC as a key. e.g. Shift=56, a=57, 56 followed by 57=A.
2. Protocol, device, subdevice, OBC are what I need to know (I think).
3. The URC-713x series are not learning remotes but ...

Thanks Rob. Unfortunately your first ref uses LIRC which I am trying to avoid. I have read the 2nd ref before and it is also bookmarked!
Using my current keyboard (a USB) I have found the scan codes for the different keys. How do I get the remote to output these scan codes?(if I can).
The parts ...
