Getting info using IRA-3

Post by DrewPhillips »

I am definately a beginner with JP1, however I've built a working interface for my URC-8550 Topline with HT. My problem is that I built a HTPC and use a learning remote to operate it all (through IRA-3) but do not have the original RC's that I used. Unfortunately the learning remote is not JP1 compatible, so question is;
Is there a way to sample/learn/analyze the button presses through my IRA-3 - I've downloaded 'protocol analyser' from Home-electro.com (makers of IRA-3) which is supposed to do this but it doesn't seem to work.
Ta,
Drew.

You're best bet would be to get a JP1 learning remote (like the URC-7562) and sample the signals from the other learning remote.

Problem solved! Protocol analyzer doesn't work with IRA-3 but does work with IRA-2, which I also have - so now I am happily customizing my 8550 with all my codes.
Thanks for the reply,
Andy.

Drew,
(or is it Andy?)

Do you know that protocol analyzer will return more information on more protocols if you have DecodeIR.dll in the same directory?

If not, try it.
