JP1 Remotes

Hello. Ive got a radioshack 15-2117 and jp1 cable. What I need to do is figure out how to move a learned key from my twinhan remote (which is the on/off function) to the power button on my 15-2117. I can learn it to about any button but the 2117 wont allow me to learn to the power button.
Is there a way i can program say a number button, then with one of the jp1 software programs move move that to the power button? If so can someone please give me the steps to do so, or point me in the direction of what i need and a readme that would help?

Thanks in advance

You can learn the function to any button. Then download the remote's IR image and look at it in IR. That button will appear in the "learned signals" tab in IR. If you highlight that learned signal and click "edit" at the bottom of the page (or simply double-click that learned signal) you will get a dialog box in which you can change the key assignment to the Power button in whatever device mode you wish.

However, as a JP1 user, you should only be using learning as a tool to create a new upgrade. If you need help creating the upgrade, let us know and we'll help.

If you "Twinhan" is a VP satellite, there is a ready-made upgrade that you can try...

Rob is, of course, correct. Keeping a learned signal is usually inefficient, since you can build an upgrade and map PRECISELY what function you want to PRECISELY what button you want.

I was just answering the specific question.

(on the other hand, I seem to be aware of a certain sample "from Rob.ir" file that comes packaged with ir.exe that uses quite a fair number of learned signals. )

Yup, you're right, the learning memory does serve another purpose. If you're not using an extender, you can use the learning memory as a keymove memory overflow area. Replacing keymoves with learned signals frees up memory for macros. In my case, using learning also freed up some upgrade memory. Previously, I had created 2 ReplayTV upgrades, with unique unit codes encoded. These upgrades weren't assigned to device buttons, I created them solely so I could program discrete on/off keymoves against them that would make sure that the correct ReplayTV machine was turned on. Then at some point, I replaced both keymoves and both upgrades with 4 learned signals.
