322403 URC-7960

reinhold · Post by **reinhold** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 9:19 pm

Thanks for the Linux version. Unfortunately, it seems that I somehow messed up building the JP1.2/3 serial interface (using the transistor version with the corrected 100k resistor; used with a USB-serial adapter). When I plug in the interface to the remote, the blue ring flashes, but the remote does not work any more and the RemoteMaster application (as well as the test application) does not detect any remote.

So, until I have time to debug my serial interface, I won't be of any help debugging support for the 7960.

Sorry,
Reinhold

When I try to download from URC-7960, RMIR says "No remotes found!",
and blue ring on the remote blinks twice.

I think I have the latest SW version.

Code: Select all

RemoteMaster v2.02 Beta 1.5o
Interfaces:
JP1.X Serial version 0.18f_JP2
JP1 USB version 0.031
JP1 Parallel version 0.02

The label on the remote battery cover says: URC 11-7960 R00.
I have serial interface which works well with JP1.2 and JP1.3 remotes, with IR and RMIR.

damir,
A couple of questions just for background:
Can you do a 983 signature blink back? We expect 32243.
What kind of serial interface is it? If it is homemade, is it made according to a schematic posted here? If it was made by somebody else, who made it?
I think that so far we have only tested the 7960 using the USB interface made by Tommy Tyler.

Have you tried to do a Raw Download?

Signature is 32243.

Homemade interface:

Yes, "No remotes found!"

Did you move the 7960 RDF to your RDF folder?

damir · Post by **damir** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:02 pm

Yes I did.

hi, i just bought a 7960, built a serial jp1.2/3 interface according to tommy tyler's transistor schematics and have the exact same problem damir is having

anyone any ideas?

Someone correct me if this is unrelated but this was written in another thread.

Tommy Tyler wrote:You can use a JP1.2 cable on a JP1.3 remote by disabling pin 5, but it is still a JP1.2 cable.

However, I do not see pin 5 listed on the JP1.2 schematic above except on the DB9 side. It just might be as a matter of contention that the current tools being used in beta for JP1.4 and 2.x remotes have only been tested around Tommy Tylers' USB Interface Cable for Flash Remotes (JP1.2 and JP1.3)

do we maybe need to change a resistor? are the jp1.2/3 remotes also 3v? or is there a program beyond the jp1xtest that can tell me if anything is happening on the rx pin of my com port, because judging by the 2 flashes something is at least being sent to the remote.

btw: i'm running windows 7 x64, is it possible that that's the problem?

spalter3 · Post by **spalter3** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 2:34 am

ok, that's not the problem, i tried with a xp 32bit vm, same problem. i also tried a prolific usb-to-serial instead of the onboard serial, also no luck

damir,
Would you mind downloading Portmon http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... s/bb896644 and trying a Raw Download with it attached? Start RMIR, start PortMon, make sure that Options/ShowHex is set, use Capture/Ports /COMx to select your port, and initiate a Raw Download. Use Edit Copy to get the resulting data into a file and post it here in the Diagnostics Section. Maybe we can guess where things are going wrong.

Output should look something like: (but longer)

BTW, Portmon doesn't run on 64 bit Windows.

is there a document somewhere on how jp1.4 is supposed to work/what the hex values mean?

damir,
I'm traveling and probably won't be able to work on this until Monday. The problem is 2 extraneous bytes (00 00) are being received by the computer. I'm not sure what to try to fix it, and I don't have access to compiler right now anyway.
