I already tried that unsuccessfully. When I try to change the remote, I get an error that the protocol will not work, and it does not even if I ignore the error and try to load the upgrade to the remote.

There is a comment under the upgrade file that says "01ED in the Protocols section to 01ED:uei" for another remote, but I am not sure it applies to OARUSB04G. I do not even see 01ED in its RDF file.

Edit protocols.ini and add the following line to the OrtekMCE entry:

Code: Select all

Code.MAXQ610=30 64 31 14 17 00 43 00 17 00 16 00 e0 10 68 01 b4 00 00 00 68 01 5a 00 00 80 0c 00 d4 d3 00 51 d4 d4 00 17 d4 d4 0f 62 44 44 70 71 73 74 62 55 01 02

Then restart RMIR (if it was already running) and try the upgrade again. As you say, the OARUSB04G does not have 01ED built in, and protocols.ini doesn't currently have an entry for the MAXQ processor for 01ED. That's why RMIR can't change the remote--it doesn't know what executor code to use. The above change should fix that problem.

ETA: Wait, protocols.ini needs more changes to make this work. It may take some time....

I added the line and I no longer get the error. However, I did the upgrade, and remote blinks but nothing happens. This is progress as before I could not even choose the device on the remote after the upgrade. The PID has a * next to it, I am not sure if that is relevant

Please be patient. It may take a couple of days to write a working executor.

Sorry, thanks for your help.

Dave (3FG), I don't think 01ED is a UEI PID for the OrtekMCE protocol. My recollection is that I wrote the HCS08 and S3C80 executors for that protocol and gave them a PID that was unused at that time. Someone may have found an official PID since then but I am not aware of it.

Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I have been away for a few days and out of touch with JP1 matters.

Graham, yes I realized that right after posting, which is why I edited my post to say wait. I now have an executor almost working, but not quite good enough yet.

3FG · Post by **3FG** » Sat Jan 03, 2015 5:03 pm

Alright, lets give this a try. Add this to the OrtekMCE entry in prtocols.ini, just after the S3C80.code= line.

Code: Select all

Code.MAXQ610=33 69 11 92 00 04 12 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 12 00 00 00 36 0D 4A 00 12 00 00 80 54 57 18 00 00 14 C6 C4 01 06 C4 C4 C6 13 C5 C5 01 55 F4 C4 FF 5D 00 00 00 16 C4 D0 FE 10 C5 00 FF 59 F0 00 00 16 C4 D1 FC 59 E8 00 00 14 C4 C5 01 51 C4 C4 00 05 C5 C5 C4 10 C4 00 08 57 08 00 00 11 D2 D2 01 16 C6 C5 01 05 D2 D2 C6 12 C5 C5 01 58 F0 C4 00 C2 40 23 60 51 32 08 17 D0 D0 04 51 D2 D2 00 C2 50 23 60 51 32 04 17 D0 D0 06 22 40 03 60 51 32

Of course, don't include the incorrect executor I posted earlier.
ETA: modified slightly to more closely match the S3F80 executor.

PERFECT! Great work Dave. The upgrade worked beautifully. I have not used all the buttons, but all the ones I used worked.

Thanks a bunch and happy new year.

RMIR v2.03 Beta is nearly here. I have posted RMIR v2.03 Alpha 27 as a full release package. If no further issues arise, it will be migrated unchanged to the SourceForge repository as RMIR v2.03 Beta. Among many other things, it includes this MAXQ support for OrtekMCE protocol and other protocol improvements also posted recently by Dave.

Thanks, I will test this version.

zaldwaik · Post by **zaldwaik** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 5:58 pm

This worked great, all the changes were included.

Post by **mathdon** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 9:41 am

Please see this announcement of RMIR v2.03 Alpha 28, a substantial change from the Alpha 27 series. All users of the Alpha development versions are encouraged to try it.

Hi! Thanks for the great work on supporting simpleset remotes!

I just bought a oarusb04g and I'm a little overwhelmed by all of the info on this board. So using your software turns the simplset remote into jp1? Then I can get more information from the regular jp1 forum guides after that?

I want the remote to control a Sony tv, a Microsoft mce remote receiver, and a Toshiba sbx4250 sound bar.

Would you point me to the right places to read about how to get up and running with this remote assuming my experience with universal remotes are limited to typing codes from the back of the manual? (I realize I may be able to get the functionality i want without any modifications, but I still want to use the extender)

Thanks!

If you can't find your devices in our file section, post back and we'll try to help. We have everything but your sound bar. If there are no built-in codes, just learn that one.

There is no extender for the 04g yet.

In the mean time, review the tutorials at the wiki link above.
