Having JP1 amnesia

The green light blinks very fast after uploading, I think 8 times? Hard to tell. Let me try your file.

It's funny, but when I open your file in RMIR, I get "The upgrades have overflowed into the Learned and/or Move/Macro regions. Progress bars for regions that include such overflow are YELLOW instead of the normal AQUAMARINE."

I did not get this error with my upgrade (I admit I'm usually up against the limit but always within).

That's ok. I did that.

I thought the 9910 had a red LED at the top. It usually blinks twice for success, four times for failure. That's what I'm after. So does the remote itself blink 2 or 4 times or something else?

So did my file download to the remote ok?

No, it wouldn't upload either. Sorry, I was looking at the USB end of the cable all this time.

I'll try again later and look at the remote!

Thanks for all your help. I feel like I'm close. I must at least have the cable connected correctly if I can download.

The red LED on the remote doesn't blink at all when I try to upload any upgrade.

I'll search this site for the error message I'm receiving.

The message about the colors is not an error, just information. Please ignore it.

No blink may be fine. I was just curious.

Did you try the other things I asked (uncheck verify)?

What version of RM are you running (Help - About)?

I'm using v2.03 of RMIR.

If I uncheck verify, the error goes away, but nothing is uploaded to the remote. As usual, it warns me that I'll be overwriting what's on the remote, I select to continue, the lights on the cable flash as if it's doing something, but the remote still has the old upgrade afterward.

I'm out of ideas then.

I understand. I appreciate all the help.

I'll continue to tinker, read the documentation/threads here, etc.

Almost forgot. Your rmaster.err file may give us some clues. Go ahead and post that.

floyd1977 · Post by **floyd1977** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:16 am

Will do tonight. Thanks.

rmaster.err is empty

Something is definitely wrong when the err file is empty. That should never happen.

Go ahead and load the latest RM (build 14) to start and try again.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/controlremote/

But I suspect RM isn't allowed write access to that folder, which could cause many problems. Are you logged in as user Stohler when you run RM, or as some other user? Does that user have Administrator rights?

If you still have problems, move it to a Public folder and run the setup.vbs again as an administrator.

I swear it was empty earlier, but somehow I was able to produce an rmaster.err file when uploading. Yes, I'm logged in as user Stohler:

I'll have to defer to the experts on this one. The data read and written definitely don't match, starting with the very first byte. It's looking more like your DIYGadget adapter is defective.
