JP1 Remotes

If it helps, here is a copy of a black Atlas OCAP 1056 that I made out of the box:
Unmodded

And here is one with a working extender (2.12 or 2.13):
Extended

I used the second file to directly clone to a new OCAP 1056 without installing the extender on it first. If it works, you'll still have ...

As an alternative to soldering pins in place, would it be possible to just fill each hole with a small blob of solder and then use either a pogo-pin connector or a sping connector? This assumes that the backs of the holes actually connect to anything on the board.

Regarding cables with the "wrong connector", you can buy a cheap cable with 6-in-a-row connector and cut and glue it to make your own JP1.2 connector:

What are the bugs specific to Linux platforms? I use RMIR in ubuntu and it's working OK. Aren't most bugs likely to be Java-related or cross-platform?

Beverly, I am glad that you continue to fight through adversity and also glad that this forum continues to exist to help those that help themselves. Season's greetings.

It's been a while since I visited. My FTDI cable was working under Linux then stopped working following a software upgrade but I've got it going again. My daughter has a couple of Auraglow color-changing LED bulbs so I have posted an upgrade here . These are the 2nd generation bulbs which are still ...

Mid-life choice. Option 1 ("dig out" the old computer etc.) or Option 6 - trade in the wife for a younger, blonder model.*

Actually, there is another option - get a modern remote and program it and leave it near to the old 8810, or at least in the same room. Most people would give the new remote a ...

Unfortunately the last time I serviced an amplifier it looked a bit like the one here . All my experience with modern electronics has been with blown power supplies so maybe check the power supply side of the amp? Is it really a 12V DC input and is that from a battery, external power supply or ...

An upgrade also takes up way less memory than a learned signal. An analogy would be a music score encoded for a music program such as MuseScore, Sibelius etc. versus a WAV file or other performance audio format.

What evidence is there that this bidet uses an IR remote?

There are likely several similar devices made in different factories in China. If you ever get the chance to see several of these almost-identical devices together then have a look at the USB and Ethernet ports as some are "upside-down" when compared to others.

I have seen and decoded some of the ...

Co-incidentally I have this remote and an LG42LD450 (which I think uses the same codes). I don't primarily use this remote for this TV but I think it mainly has all the basic functions built-in. If you have tried all the inbuilt setup codes for the remote I think you have exhausted your options as I ...

Are you referring to this 15-year old laserdisc player?

And SR is Pioneer's proprietary cable connection to allow one Pioneer device to control another?

No doubt the OP knows this but for the benefit of others, the date and time stamp correspond to rebel occupation of the (state-owned) TVR broadcasting building in Bucharest, Romania in December 1989 but whether the footage was taken that day or whether the date and time were added later I can’t tell ...
