JP1 Remotes

I've just got hold of one of the new Linksys Wireless Media Adapters (WMA11B), which comes with a simple IR remote. I've also got a Topline 5 remote (non-learning) - does anyone have any details of the protocol / codes used by the Linksys remote so I could add this to my Topline 5 or, better still, has anyone already learnt the codes on a learning remote?

Thanks.

I do not see any device upgrades for any linksys devices over at yahoo.jp1 (you are welcome to look there if you like). I am just a newbie here, but I am guessing that the fastest way to get up and running if no one else can find info on the web would be to go to wal-mart and pick up a OFA 8810w for under $20 and learn the codes/create an upgrade yourself. (Then you can return it to wal-mart, or keep it in a drawer for future learning projects, or use it as your primary remote - it is pretty nice and an excellent value and there are several excellent extenders written for it.) Good Luck!

Maybe cuz the topline 5 and 8 are strictly european remotes? Do I win a free remote? cable?

Maybe Steve thinks Boggle is super rich and can come to the US by plane, pick up a remote at WW, fly back home and do what he needed it for (learn and decode) then fly back to return it. Probably a grand or better just to do a learn on a maybe 50.00 device. The way steve touts the WW 8810W, he must have mega shares in Wal-mart. Walmart may be the largest department store in the world, but they aren't quite world-wide Like coke, McDucks, etc.

I have most of the basic commands for the Linksys Wireless B Media Adapter learned in my RCU810. I have been using JP1 for a bit to program etc. but I don't know how to create a file with these commands in it to share.

If someone can explain to me how to suck the codes from my remote I would be more than happy to help out with this request.

Laters,
Jeff

Ok Mark gotcha ya. Please tell me if I am on the right track here.

Under IR I picked a bogus SAT device since I dont have a SAT box. That is code 0409 which I don't think I need. Then under the learned section for the play button this is what is listed
SAT:Play
#: 1
Protocol: NEC1
Device: 134
Sub-Device: 107
OBC: 17
Hex CMD: 77
EFC: 121

I am using RM and this is what I have:

Description: Linksys Wireless B Media Adapter
Remote:RCA RCU810
Device Type: Misc Audio
Setup Code: 1049
Protocol: NEC1
Device Number: 134
Sub Device: 107
Parm:Blank

Functions Tab
All Blank but Play

#32 Play EFC 121 (the other filled in automatically)

But now I am lost as to what to do with the other tabs. I know I will continue to add other functions but should I delete the ones I don't use? Do I need to worry about any of the other tabs?

Sorry to be a pain in the butt but I couldn't find any readme for RM and I guess I am just missing something obvious.

Laters,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
If you're not making any headway, post your RCU810 memory dump (that includes all the learned signals) in the Diagnosis Area and one of us will create an upgrade from it.

If any of the function names are vastly different than the buttons you have them learned to, please mention (in the file description) what these are (eg, "Open Session" is learned to the PIP button, etc)

Damm that was too easy. I will upload the file to Yahoo Groups file section. I love this!! I have a bunch of other stuff to do now that I am no longer a virgin Laughing

EDIT: Okies the file is there hopefully someone can test it or look at it to make sure it is ok. I did load the upgrade file back into my remote and it does work!! Woohoo!! Thanks for the help and hopefully this will help others.

laters,
Jeff

Jeff, I can't find the file, could you please provide a link to it, or at least tell us what it's called.

There is also a .TXT file that describes the button mapping. I put it in the RM Upgrades folder and then under the Misc section because it technically is an MP3 player.

Laters,
