I will do that tonight, thanks.
BTW, my message was dumb. USB-jp1 download didn't work on XP.
The excelcior version which runs on an old laptop with Windows2000 downloaded from the remote in a blink of an eye. I'm so happy about that - it's the first download since you're put out RMIR!!!

So it's a Delcom vs my XP battle, clearly.
Still I want to see what RMIR will do because your logs are usually full of info. I'll be back.

Greg,
It talked . Just once in five trials. So no question RMIR is reading it. But 8 packets are missed. Excel says the first miss is at $400. I didn't follow the rest. It looks the same as I keep reporting in the General section, the only difference is IR retries so it takes longer.

I ran RMIR twice (logs a and b). On a second attempt in the first run it downloaded and I saved a .rmir file.
During the second run it just gave me the usual two blinks but the screen was empty.
No stdin, stdout, stderr that I can see. Nothing in the cmd window and no such words in the error logs. Where should I look?
I hope you can see something in the logs that'll explain why it's not working for me.

Greg,

OT from the comm issues, but I've found something that may have broken somewhere in the past few revs. THIS post talks about device combiner not working in RM with an S3F80 processor. I thought this was fixed shortly after that post (I think just in the protocol.ini file) but doesn't work anymore. I just noticed this recently. On the other hand I may have just worked around it by changing my RDF. I don't honestly remember. I didn't save any old versions of RM, or I'd verify it myself.

[gfb107]

I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what happened.

BTW, Every version of RM released since I put in on sourceforge (v0.19, 2003-04-02) is still available on sourceforge. I've hidden the really old releases (v0.19 - v0.57), but I can make those active again with very little effort. The oldest one currently available is v0.58, dated 2003-08-21

Thanks. I checked a couple of older versions, and they didn't work either. Maybe you gave me a bootleg protocol.ini a couple of months ago that fixed it. Or maybe we only talked about it the changes. I wish I could remember. Anyway, I'd be happy to test whatever you come up with.

mdavej,

It's working for me, in RM v1.85.

Here's what I did:

• Download and unzip 15-135.zip
  
• Move the .rdf file to my RDF folder
  
• Move the .jpg and .map files to my Images folder
  
• Start RM.
  
• Change the remote to Atlas OCAP URC-1056 JP1.3 (Black)
  
• Select "Device Combiner" in the Protocol drop-down on the Setup tab. It is an available choice.
  
• Click on the Output tab...there's code in the "Upgrade Protocol Code" area.
  
• Choose File -> New
  
• Change the remote to RS-135
  
• Select "Device Combiner" in the Protocol drop-down on the Setup tab. It is an available choice.
  
• Click on the Output tab...there's code in the "Upgrade Protocol Code" area.

Thanks. I just tried it, and I can see that making new upgrades works. But my existing upgrades still won't open properly.

[gfb107]

I was able to reproduce the problem. I'll be back...

I don't know whether RMIR section is ready to decode learned signals. It sure looks close.
If it is not, please ignore all the rest.

I see few differences between how IR and RMIR treat a 8910/HTPro downloaded eeprom containing learned signals and wonder if it's a problem.
1) At $100 is the only raw data difference (bsides the checksum, of course)
IR display : 01 04 01 04 00 00
RMIR display: 01 06 01 06 01 06
2) Upgrade Free bytes: IR says 762, RMIR says 760
3) Learned free bytes: IR says 36, RMIR says 37
4) Protocols in RMIR come out as **Multiple**. Frequencies match. Size - don't know what it is - 21 for NECx2, 45 for Panasonic.

Greg,

Using the NEC 4DEV Combo protocol, the Device column and dropdown on the Function sheet only shows the main device. Is there a way to show the subdevice? This would be useful if all your main devices are the same but the subdevices are different. Otherwise you can't tell what you're picking.

Thanks

[Capn Trips]

In fact, that is the case for all three of the NEC[1] 2[4]DEV Combo protocols in RM.
