|

Thanks for the Newbie nest- Ive just hatched.
Im working with an Ultra pogo from Filebug and a RS 15-2117. Although I got it to download twice- and saved the files It wont upload back to the remote- It Complains " Did not receive response (acknowlegment) from the remote after sending data". Ive tried it with new batteries, weak batteries and no batteries with no success. I did the reset routine from the manual on the remote which only partially reset the unit and now it reports"memory fault" when I try to Learn a new IR code. Any Ideas of other things I should try to get the Upload working??? Also, is there a "full reset" function for this unit and if so how is it implemented??? Thanks for your help.

I talked to Radio Shack support and got info on how to do a full reset to factory default and this fixed the memory fault error. Here's the code-
P> Code set, record, record, select.
Maybe this will be useful to someone else.. _________________ .......John |

Rob...Thanks for the links- They'll be more useful after I get an interface working.
I decided to build a simple interface per Tommy Tylers Rev 5 and try again-
using the 6 pin connector that came on the Filebug "ultra". This adaptor also checks out good but gives the complaint "IR unable to determine size of EEprom- This can happen if remote is larger than $8000 or if interface is not functioning properly". The filebug ultra usually gave the same message when attempting to download.
BTW-Youre right- Im not using the extra pogo pins -I just used that name for the adaptor since that is how filebug refers to it. _________________ .......John |

I decided to try the simple interface an a different computer and it works like a champ- I bet the Ultra would also work. Interesting- the "good" computer is a P11 233 and the "Bad" computer is a P111 733mhz- both are running Win98 SE. Who knows what mysteries lurk in the hearts and minds at Redmond......
now I can try out the wonders of JP1. :) _________________ .......John |

Instead, the JP1 interface and the remotes EEPROM are sensitive to the voltages available on the parallel port, which can vary greatly from one computer to the next. _________________ Mark |
