I have been using JP1 for 20+ years and I use IR to manage my remote but I have not been using it lately. I used to have a One-For-All URC6131 but the remote is failing (it would suddenly stop responding and requires a power reset) and I need to find a replacement.
I have previous purchased a RadioShack 15-134 JP1 remote. I have not use it with IR.exe until now. After so many years, I am a little confused about how to use it. First I need to address an issue with the connector because the slot in 15-134 is a little smaller (I use the parallel port JP1 cable), I filed it bigger so JP1 will fit. I believe the red wire of the cable should match the pin 1 of the connector.
I then realized I need something called RDF file. The help page here confuses me: http://www.hifi-remote.com/wiki/index.php?title=RDFs
"Get your RDFs here:
JP1 File Section -> Tools -> Main "
There is no RDF to download under "Main". So I went to the "Extenders" section and found a few files under 15-133 (15-13x) which has several 15-134 RDF.
I select the RDF and made a test download. Download from remote failed. Which looks like a timeout. I tried with and without battery. Selecting "JP1.x" and also "JP1 EEPROM". All failed. I don't know what I am missing. Any clues? |
