JP1 Remotes

You're saying they've removed the learning function entirely? That would seem to be a pretty dumb move. The only reason they were able to build up their IR database so quickly was by grabbing all the learns that regular uses did.

No, there's no longer a Learn Raw option. It just has the regular ...

"Learn Raw" appears to have been removed for newer Harmony remotes and/or software versions. I even connected my Elite to a Windows laptop using the old desktop MyHarmony software, but there doesn't appear to be any option to Learn Raw. I tried the only learning option available in the software and ...

Not sure if it's still possible but you used to be able to do a "raw" learn on Harmony. So you could make a fast macro on your JP1 remote and learn the whole macro as a single function on Harmony. I've done this with 20 step macros that would run in only a second or two as a single function.

Long ...

I just read that thread and what Lurker did was to program macros that send 4 presses of the volume buttons. Give that a try with your remote to see if that works for you.

Oh, I've already tried all that. Macros take too long to execute to be very useful for something like volume for me. Thanks ...

Is this thread of any help? http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12840

Rob, do you remember anything about the help you provided in this older thread? I'm not sure I completely understand what you did or what was ultimately accomplished. Did these upgrades somehow achieve a single ...

Loading the pronto codes into my Harmony was my ultimate intention. I’ve requested for Harmony support to add the codes you generated but I have no idea how long it will take them, and we don’t know if the codes will work. So in the meantime I’m trying to see if there’s a way to do it on my own ...

Also tried a Real-Time DSM with long-press. The best I could do with the URC, after much trial and error, was a 0.55 sec long-press which produces a 2.5db change. However, teaching it to the Harmony still only produces a 0.5db change.

I don't think there's a way to accomplish my objective without ...

Just discovered Real-Time DSM. Shows promise. Now to find just the right delay between commands and then see if the Harmony will learn it as one command...

EDIT: No dice. With a 0.0 sec delay between volume commands, the URC changes the volume by 6.5db. With a 0.1 sec delay, the URC changes the ...

When I try 3 repeats, Remote Master errors. 127 character max exceeded.

I just tried creating a Special Function on the URC-3680 that sends the volume command 2x. It works but it's too slow to be very useful. It takes almost 2 seconds to complete, and while it's executing, other button presses are ...

My option is to either hold the button down or press is multiple times. Or make macros with multiple button presses like I said earlier in the thread*. Or use the built in presets (also in my file already):
RCSHP0C20003 １１００００ MASTER VOL. PRESET1(0dB)
RCSHP0C20005 １０１０００ MASTER VOL. PRESET2(-20dB ...

In RMIR, go to the Learned tab, click new, select a device and button to assign the function to, select Pronto and paste one of Rob's codes into the box (starting with 0000). Repeat for the others.

Thanks, I was able to follow those steps to test. Unfortunately, it still only changes volume by 0 ...

The JP1 cable arrived today. Armed with all of the information this forum has provided, I was able to fairly easily connect my new URC-3680 to my Macbook, open Remote Master, download from the remote, import Dave's upgrade file, add the Speaker Preset commands Rob provided the OBC codes for, upload ...

I have converted that table into an Excel file and added an OBC column, here:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=26669

If you wanted to add those 3 functions to Dave's RM file, here are their OBCs:

891 Speaker Preset (Toggle)
892 Speaker Preset 1
893 Speaker Preset 2 ...

I think should explain what I did to generate those Pronto codes. You had stated that the volume buttons increase by 0.5db at a time and you wanted them to increase by 1.0db instead. So what I did was, I took the raw code for the volume buttons and edited it so that when it repeats, it always sends ...

You need to wait until you get the remote before you import the signals because you need to start with what's already in the remote or you could end up with something that doesn't work.

I'll post the exact steps a bit later as I don't have access to RMIR at the moment. Do give our wiki a read ...
